STEP 4. Check the ground circuit to the ETACS-ECU.
Measure the resistance at ETACS-ECU connectors C-218
and C-219.
(1) Disconnect ETACS-ECU connectors C-218 and C-219, and
measure the resistance available at the junction block side
of the connector.
(2) Measure the resistance value between ETACS-ECU
connector C-218 terminal 50 and ground.
The resistance should be 2 ohms or less.
Measure the resistance value between ETACS-ECU
connector C-219 terminal 3 and ground.
The resistance should be 2 ohms or less.
Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check the wiring harness between ETACS-ECU
connector C-218 (terminal 50) or ETACS-ECU connector
C-219 (terminal 3) and ground.
NOTE: Also check junction block connector C-211 for loose,
corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in
the connector. If junction block connector C-211 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-218 (terminal 50) or ETACS-ECU connector C-219
(terminal 3) and ground 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 system should communicate with the SWS
monitor kit normally.

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-69
STEP 1. Use diagnostic tool MB991958 to select "ECU
COMM Check" on the SWS monitor display.
Check the following ECUs:
ETACS-ECU
Column-ECU
To prevent damage to diagnostic tool MB991958, always
turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position
before connecting or disconnecting diagnostic tool
MB991958. Connect special tool MB991910 before con-
necting special tool MB991812. Be sure to connect special
tool MB991806 after turning on special tool MB991824.
(1) Connect the special tool. Refer to "How to connect SWS
monitor P.54B-13."
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Operate diagnostic tool MB991958 according to the
procedure below to display "ECU COMM Check."
a. Select "Interactive Diagnosis."
b. Select "System select."
c. Select "SWS."
d. Select "SWS MONITOR."
e. Select "ECU COMM Check."
(4) DIAGNOSTIC TOOL MB991958 should show "OK" on the
"ECU COMM Check" menus for both the "ETACS ECU"
and the "COLUMN ECU" menus.
Q: Is "OK" displayed for both the "ETACS ECU" and
"COLUMN ECU" menus?
"OK" is displayed for all the items : Go to Step 2.
"NG" is displayed for the "COLUMN ECU" menu : Go to
St e p 6 .
"NG" is displayed for the "ETACS ECU" menu : Refer to
Inspection Procedure A-3 "Communication with the
ETACS-ECU is not possible P.54B-74."
"NG" is displayed for all the items : Refer to Inspection
Procedure A-3 "Communication with the ETACS-ECU
is not possible P.54B-74."

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-75
STEP 1. Check ETACS-ECU connectors C-218 and C-219
for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Are ETACS-ECU connectors C-218 and C-219 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. The system should communicate with the
ETACS-ECU normally.
STEP 2. 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 20 and ground.
The voltage should measure approximately 12 volts
(battery positive voltage).
Q: Is the measured voltage approximately 12 volts (battery
positive voltage)?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between ETACS-ECU
connector C-219 (terminal 20) 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 20) 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. The system
should communicate with the ETACS-ECU normally.
STEP 4. Check the ground circuit to the ETACS-ECU.
