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
Turn-signal lamp ETACS-ECU, column switch
Turn-signal indicators ETACS-ECU, column switch
Hazard warning lamp ETACS-ECU

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.

STEP 5. Check the battery power supply circuit to the
ETACS-ECU. Measure the voltage at ETACS-ECU
connector C-219.
(1) Disconnect ETACS-ECU connector C-219, and measure
the voltage available at the junction block side of the
connector.
(2) Measure the voltage between terminal 11 and ground.
The voltage should measure approximately 12 volts
(battery positive voltage).
Q: Is the measured voltage approximately 12 volts (battery
positive voltage)?
YES : Replace the ETACS-ECU. Verify that the turn-signal
lamps illuminate normally.
NO : Go to Step 6.
STEP 6. Check the wiring harness between ETACS-ECU
connector C-219 (terminal 11) and the battery.
NOTE: Also check junction block connector C-214 for loose,
corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in
the connector. If junction block connector C-214 is damaged,
Repair or replace the damaged component(s) as described in
GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection P.00E-2.
Q: Is the wiring harness between ETACS-ECU connector
C-219 (terminal 11) and the battery in good condition?
YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO : The wiring harness may be damaged or the
connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Repair the wiring harness as necessary. Verify that
the turn-signal lamps illuminate normally.
