KEYLESS ENTRY HAZARD ANSWERBACK AND
HORN ANSWERBACK FUNCTION
.
KEYLESS ENTRY HAZARD ANSWERBACK
FUNCTION*
1
If the keyless entry transmitter is used to send a lock signal to
the ETACS-ECU, all doors are locked and the hazard warning
lamps flash once. If an unlock signal is sent, the driver's door is
unlocked first,*
2 and if a second signal is sent, all doors are
unlocked. Each time the unlock signal is sent, the hazard warn-
ing lamps flash twice.
NOTE: *
1: The hazard answerback function can be customized
using the keyless entry transmitter (Refer to Group 42 P.42-72,
Keyless Entry System) or by using the multi center display
(middle grade type). Refer to P.54B-486.
NOTE: *
2: Vehicles with a multi center display (middle grade
type) can be customized so that a single unlock operation will
unlock all doors. Refer to P.54B-486.
.
KEYLESS ENTRY HORN ANSWERBACK
FUNCTION
If the keyless entry transmitter is used to send a lock signal to
the ETACS-ECU, the first signal locks all doors while the sec-
ond signal sounds the horn once.
NOTE: : The horn answerback function can be customized by
using the keyless entry transmitter (Refer to Group 42 P.42-72,
Keyless Entry System) or by using the multi center display
(middle grade type). Refer to P.54B-486.
TIMED LOCKING MECHANISM
.After unlocking the doors with the keyless entry transmitter, if
no doors are opened, if the ignition key is not inserted or if the
locking function is not operated, the ETACS-ECU automatically
locks the doors in 30 seconds.
NOTE: The timed locking function can be customized on vehi-
cles equipped with a multi center display (middle grade type).
Refer to P.54B-486.

FLASHER TIMER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION CONCERNING THE FLASHER TIMERM1549023600238
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80The following ECUs affect the functions and control
of the flasher timer.
FLASHER TIMER FUNCTION
.
TURN-SIGNAL LAMP
The turn-signal lamp output (flashing signal) is turned ON when
the ignition switch is ON and the turn-signal lamp switch is ON
(LH or RH). If the front turn-signal lamp or rear turn-signal lamp
bulb has burned out, the flashing speed increases to indicate
that the bulb has burned out.
NOTE: If LH or RH side turn signal lamp bulbs have burned
out, the flashing speed will remain the same.
.
TURN-SIGNAL INDICATORS
At the same time that the turn-signal lamps are illuminated, the
ETACS-ECU sends a signal to illuminate the turn-signal lamp
indicator via the CAN bus line. The combination meter receives
the transmitted signal and turns the turn-signal lamp indicator
on and off.
.
HAZARD WARNING LAMP
Detects the signal where the hazard warning lamp switch input
changes from OFF to ON, and reverse the flashing state
according to this signal. The hazard warning lamps toggle on
and off whenever the hazard warning lamp switch is operated.
NOTE: The hazard warning lamp switch is a push-return type
toggle switch. FUNCTION CONTROL ECU

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-310
INSPECTION PROCEDURE I-1: Flasher Timer: Turn-signal lamps do not flash when the turn-signal
lamp switch is turned on.
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 turn-signal lamp switch sends a signal
through the column-ECU (incorporated in the col-
umn switch) to the ETACS-ECU. If the col-
umn-ECU sends a turn-signal lamp switch "ON"
signal to the ETACS-ECU, the ETACS-ECU turns
on the flasher timer (incorporated in the
ETACS-ECU), thus causing the turn-signal lamps
to flash.
The ETACS-ECU operates the turn-signal lamps
according to the following signals:
Ignition switch (IG1): ON
Turn-signal lamp switch: ON
The ETACS-ECU flashes the turn-signal lamps
under the following conditions:
Ignition key: "ON" position
Turn-signal lamp switch: Left or right turn-sig-
nal position
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the turn-signal lamps do not flash normally, the
input circuits from the switches described in "CIR-
CUIT OPERATION" or the ETACS-ECU may be
defective. If the hazard warning lamps do not flash,
the power supply line to the ETACS-ECU (dedicated
to the turn-signal lamps) may be defective.
