INPUT SIGNAL PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-425
STEP 2. Check the windshield wiper and washer switch.
Remove the windshield wiper and washer switch. Then check
continuity between the switch terminals.
Q: Are the windshield wiper and washer switch in good
condition?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Replace the windshield wiper and washer switch. If
the equipment described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION"
work normally, the input signal from the column switch
(windshield wiper and washer switch) should be
normal.
STEP 3. Replace the column switch.
(1) Replace the column switch.
(2) If the equipment described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION" work
normally, the input signal from the column switch
(windshield wiper and washer switch) should be normal.
Q: Does the column switch (windshield wiper and washer
switch) send a normal signal to the ECU?
YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO : Replace the ETACS-ECU. If the equipment described
in "CIRCUIT OPERATION" work normally, the input
signal from the column switch (windshield wiper and
washer switch) should be normal. SWITCH

INSPECTION PROCEDURE M-7: Column Switch: ETACS-ECU does not receive any signal from the
variable intermittent wiper control switch.
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The ETACS-ECU calculates the windshield intermit-
tent wiper interval according to the position of the
variable intermittent wiper control switch, which is
incorporated in column switch (windshield wiper and
washer switch).
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the windshield intermittent wiper interval cannot be
adjusted, the column switch or the ETACS-ECU may
be defective.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
The column switch may be defective (windshield
wiper and washer switch)
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 column switch connector C-309 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Is column switch connector C-309 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 wiper interval can be adjusted
normally, the variable intermittent wiper control switch
should send a signal to the ECU.

SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-427
STEP 2. Check the variable intermittent wiper control
switch.
(1) Remove the windshield wiper and washer switch, and
check at the switch side.
(2) Measure the resistance value between terminals 27 and 28.
The measured resistance should change smoothly from
approximately 0 ohm ("FAST" position) to 1 k
("SLOW"
position).
Q: Is the variable intermittent wiper control switch in good
condition?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Replace the column switch (windshield wiper and
washer switch). If the wiper interval can be adjusted
normally, that the variable intermittent wiper control
switch should send a signal to the ECU.
STEP 3. Check ETACS-ECU connector C-218 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Is ETACS-ECU connector C-218 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer
to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection
P.00E-2. If the wiper interval can be adjusted
normally, that the variable intermittent wiper control
switch should send a signal to the ECU.

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
