INSPECTION PROCEDURE A-3: Communication with the ETACS-ECU is not Possible.
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The power supply to the ETACS-ECU is provided
by the battery and the ignition switch (IG1).
If the power supply system from the battery is
defective, the system operates by the power sup-
ply from the ignition switch (IG1).
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
It is suspected that the power supply circuit to the
ETACS-ECU is defective, or the wiring harness
between the SWS monitor kit and the ETACS-ECU
or their connector(s) is damaged. If the battery power
supply circuit to the ECU (terminal 20 of the ETACS-ECU) is damaged, also check the power
supply circuit from the ignition switch (IG1) (terminal
8 of the ETACS-ECU), and repair if necessary. If the
ground circuit to the ECU (terminal 3 of the
ETACS-ECU) is damaged, also check the ground cir-
cuit to the sensor (terminal 50 of the ETACS-ECU),
and repair if necessary.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
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

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-96
If any of the following conditions is met with the igni-
tion switch at "ON" or "ST", the ETACS-ECU sounds
the tone alarm by using the driver's seat belt switch
signal and the vehicle speed signal sent from the
combination meter.
Sounds the tone alarm for six seconds when the
ignition switch is turned "ON" with the seat belt
switch on (the driver's seat belt is not fastened).
This is called "Timer function".
Sounds the tone alarm 12 cycles (after 0.5 sec-
onds) if any of the following conditions is met
when sixty seconds or more have elapsed since
the ignition switch is turned "ON". One cycle con-
sists of five-second "on" and then three-second
"off".a. The vehicle speed has reached 8 km/h (5
mph) while the seat belt switch is turned on
(driver's seat belt is not fastened) with the
ignition switch "ON.
b. The seat belt switch has been turned on
(driver's seat belt has not been fastened) for
at least ten seconds while the ignition switch
has been turned "ON" and the vehicle speed
has been 8 km/h (5 mph) or more.
NOTE: Once the tone alarm has sounded 12
cycles, it does not sound again until the vehi-
cle speed reduces to 3 km/h (2 mph) or less
even if any of the following conditions is met.
The tone alarm stops sounding if the ignition
switch or the seat belt switch is turned off (the
driver's seat belt is fastened) while the timer
operation is active.
