The ETACS-ECU operates the forgotten key preven-
tion function under the following conditions:
Ignition key: inserted into the ignition key cylinder
Front door: open
Front door lock: being locked
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the function does not work normally, the input cir-
cuit system from the switches or the ETACS-ECU
may be defective (refer to "CIRCUIT OPERATION").
.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE D-5: Power Window: Front or rear passenger's power windows do not
work at all by operating the power window main switch.
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
When you operate each power window switch for
front or rear passengers (incorporated in the power
window main switch), the corresponding power win-
dow motor operates, opening or closing each power
window.
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the corresponding power window opens and closes
normally when each power window sub-switch is
operated, the power window main switch may be
defective.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINT
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
The power window main switch may be defective
DIAGNOSIS
Check that power window sub switches operate normally.
Q: A power window cannot work by using the power
window main switch. Can you operate the power
window by using the corresponding power window sub
switch?
YES : Replace the power window main switch. Check that
the front or rear passenger's power window can work
normally by means of power window main switch.
NO : Refer to Symptom Chart P.54B-57 before resolving
this trouble.

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-190
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.
