INPUT SIGNAL PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-428
STEP 4. Check the wiring harness between column switch
connector C-309 (terminal 6) and ETACS-ECU connector
C-218 (terminal 60).
Q: Is the wiring harness between column switch connector
C-309 (terminal 6) and ETACS-ECU connector C-218
(terminal 60) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 5.
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. If the wiper
interval can be adjusted normally, the variable
intermittent wiper control switch should send a signal
to the ECU.
STEP 5. Replace the column switch.
(1) Replace the column switch.
(2) If the wiper interval can be adjusted normally, the variable
intermittent wiper control switch should send a signal to the
ECU.
Q: Can input signal be confirmed when the variable
intermittent wiper control switch is operated?
YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO : Replace the ETACS-ECU. If the wiper interval can be
adjusted normally, the variable intermittent wiper
control switch should send a signal to the ECU.

INPUT SIGNAL PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-429
INSPECTION PROCEDURE M-8: Sunroof Switch: ETACS-ECU does not receive any signal from the
up, open or close/down switch.
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The ETACS-ECU receives a signal through the sun-
roof motor assembly via the SWS communication
line from the sunroof switch, and sends a signal to
the data link connector.
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the SWS communication line between the sunroof
motor assembly and the ETACS-ECU is defective,
the ETACS-ECU cannot identify the input signal from
the sunroof switch even if the sunroof is normal.
.
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 sunroof motor assembly may be defective
The ETACS-ECU may be defective

STEP 1. Check the sunroof operation.
Q: Does the sunroof work normally?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Refer to Inspection Procedure F-1 "Sunroof does not
operate P.54B-210."
STEP 2. Check sunroof motor assembly connector D-04
and ETACS-ECU connector C-218 for loose, corroded or
damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the
connector.
Q: Are sunroof motor assembly connector D-04 and
ETACS-ECU connector C-218 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer
to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection
P.00E-2. If the sunroof operates normally, a correct
signal is sent from the sunroof switch.

STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between sunroof motor
assembly connector D-04 (terminal 10) and ETACS-ECU
connector C-218 (terminal 53).
NOTE: Also check intermediate connector C-27. If intermediate
connector C-27 is damaged, repair or replace the connector as
described in GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection
P.00E-2.
Q: Is the wiring harness between sunroof motor assembly
connector D-04 (terminal 10) and ETACS-ECU connector
C-218 (terminal 53) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 4.
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. If the sunroof
operates normally, a correct signal is sent from the
sunroof switch.
STEP 4. Replace the sunroof motor assembly.
(1) Replace the sunroof motor assembly.
(2) If the sunroof operates normally, a correct signal is sent
from the sunroof switch.
Q: Does the ETACS-ECU receive correct signals from the
sunroof switch?
YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO : Replace the ETACS-ECU. If the sunroof operates
normally, a correct signal is sent from the sunroof
switch.

DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tool:
MB991223: Harness Set
STEP 1. Check key reminder switch connector C-310 for
loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is key reminder switch connector C-310 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
key reminder switch should be normal.
