SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-68
INSPECTION PROCEDURE A-2: Communication with the Column Switch (column-ECU) is not
Possible.
NOTE: This troubleshooting procedure requires the
use of diagnostic tool MB991958 and SWS monitor
kit MB991813. For details on how to use the SWS
monitor, refer to "How to connect SWS monitor
P.54B-13."
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The power supply to the column switch is pro-
vided by the battery and the ignition switch (IG1).
If the power supply system from the battery is
defective, the system operates by the power sup-
ply from the ignition switch (IG1).
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
The power supply circuit to the column switch (col-
umn-ECU) may be defective. If the battery power
supply circuit (terminal 1 of the column switch) to the
ECU is damaged, also check the power supply circuit
from the ignition switch (IG1) (terminal 9 of the col-
umn switch), and repair if necessary.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
The wiring harness or connectors may have
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector
The column switch may be defective
The ETACS-ECU may be defective

INSPECTION PROCEDURE A-3: Communication with the ETACS-ECU is not Possible.
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The power supply to the ETACS-ECU is provided
by the battery and the ignition switch (IG1).
If the power supply system from the battery is
defective, the system operates by the power sup-
ply from the ignition switch (IG1).
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
It is suspected that the power supply circuit to the
ETACS-ECU is defective, or the wiring harness
between the SWS monitor kit and the ETACS-ECU
or their connector(s) is damaged. If the battery power
supply circuit to the ECU (terminal 20 of the ETACS-ECU) is damaged, also check the power
supply circuit from the ignition switch (IG1) (terminal
8 of the ETACS-ECU), and repair if necessary. If the
ground circuit to the ECU (terminal 3 of the
ETACS-ECU) is damaged, also check the ground cir-
cuit to the sensor (terminal 50 of the ETACS-ECU),
and repair if necessary.

STEP 1. Check sunroof motor assembly connector D-04
for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is sunroof motor assembly connector D-04 in good
condition?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer
to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection
P.00E-2. The system should communicate with the
sunroof-ECU normally.
STEP 2. Check the fusible link (5) line of power supply
circuit to the sunroof motor assembly. Measure the voltage
at sunroof motor assembly connector D-04.
(1) Disconnect sunroof motor assembly connector D-04 and
measure the voltage available at the wiring harness side of
the connector.
(2) Measure the voltage between terminal 1 and ground.
The voltage should measure approximately 12 volts
(battery positive voltage).
Q: Is the measured voltage approximately 12 volts (battery
positive voltage)?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Go to Step 3.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE B-2: Tone Alarm: Light Reminder Tone Alarm Function does not Work
Normally.
NOTE: This troubleshooting procedure requires the
use of diagnostic tool MB991958 and SWS monitor
kit MB991813. For details on how to use the SWS
monitor, refer to "How to connect SWS monitor
P.54B-13."
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The ETACS-ECU operates the light reminder tone
alarm function according to the following signals:
Ignition switch (IG1): OFF
Ignition key reminder switch: ON
Front door switch (RH): ON
Taillamp switch: ON
Headlamp switch: ON
The ETACS-ECU operates the lamp reminder tone
alarm function under the following conditions:
Ignition switch: "LOCK" (OFF) position
Ignition key: Removed from the ignition key cylin-
der
Driver’s door: open
Taillamps or headlamps: ON
