SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-398
INSPECTION PROCEDURE K-7: Interior Light: The seat belt warning lamp do not illuminate or go out 
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 combination meter and the ETACS-ECU illumi-
nates and flashes the seat belt warning lamp by 
using the signal from the seat belt switch, the ignition 
switch (IG1) and the vehicle speed signal.
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the seat belt warning lamp does not illuminate or 
flash correctly, connector(s), wiring harness in the 
CAN bus lines, the door switches, the ETACS-ECU, 
or the combination meter may be defective.
.

Trouble in input signal system
The wiring harness or connectors may have 
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector
The combination meter may be defective
The ETACS-ECU may be defective

STEP 4. Check the input signal by using "DATA LIST" 
menu of the SWS monitor.
Check the input signals from the following switches:
Ignition switch: ON
(1) Operate diagnostic tool MB991958 according to the 
procedure below to display "ETACS ECU."
a. Select "Interactive Diagnosis."
b. Select "System select."
c. Select "SWS."
d. Select "SWS MONITOR."
e. Select "Data List."
f. Select "ETACS ECU."
(2) Check that normal conditions are displayed for the items 
described in the table below.
Q: Is the diagnostic tool MB991958 display the items "IG 
SW (IG1)" normal condition?
YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Refer to Inspection Procedure M-2 "ETACS-ECU 
does not receive any signal from the ignition switch 
(IG1) P.54B-408."
STEP 5. Replace the combination meter.
(1) Replace the combination meter.
(2) Check that the seat belt warning lamp illuminates normally.
Q: Is the seat belt warning lamp in good condition?
YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO : Replace the ETACS-ECU. Verify that the seat belt 
warning lamp illuminates normally. ITEM NO. ITEM NAME NORMAL CONDITION
ITEM 30 IG SW (IG1) ON

INPUT SIGNAL PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-408
INSPECTION PROCEDURE M-2: ETACS-ECU does not receive any signal from the ignition switch 
(IG1).
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The ETACS-ECU operates the following equipment 
or functions according to signal from the ignition 
switch (IG1):
Light reminder tone alarm function
Seat belt tone alarm function
Door ajar warning buzzer
Turn-signal lamp buzzer
Multi center display operation tone 
multi center display (middle grade type)>
Power window timer function
Sunroof timer function
Headlamp automatic shutdown function
Turn-signal lamp
Dome lamp dimming function
Ignition key hole illumination lamp
If the power supply circuit from the battery to the 
ETACS-ECU is open, this circuit is used as 
backup circuit.
If the signal is not normal, the equipment or functions 
described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION" do not work 
normally.
The ETACS-ECU receives information on the ignition 
switch condition (IG1) from the combination meter 
via CAN communication. If the ignition switch (IG1) 
input signal is incorrect, refer to the Diagnostic Trou-
ble Code Chart P.54B-25.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
The wiring harness or connectors may have 
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector
The ETACS-ECU may be defective
DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tool:
MB991223: Harness Set
STEP 1. Check ETACS-ECU connector C-219 for loose, 
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back 
in the connector.
Q: Is ETACS-ECU connector C-219 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. If the functions described in "CIRCUIT 
OPERATION" work normally, the input signal from the 
ignition switch (IG1) should be normal.
