INSPECTION PROCEDURE F-3: Sunroof: Sunroof Timer Function does not Work Normally.
NOTE: This troubleshooting requires use of
diagnostic tool MB991958 and SWS monitor kit
MB991813. For details of how to use the SWS moni-
tor, refer to "How to connect SWS monitor
P.54B-13."
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The sunroof timer function works according to the
signals from the following switches:
Ignition switch (IG1): OFF
Front door switch: OFF
Vehicle condition
Ignition switch: LOCK position
Front door: Closed
When the driver’s door is opened and closed
while the sunroof timer function is on, the sunroof
operative duration will be changed.
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
Is the sunroof timer function does not work normally,
the input circuits from the switches described in
"CIRCUIT OPERATION", the sunroof motor assem-
bly, the ETACS-ECU or the SWS communication line
may be defective.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
The front door switch may be defective
The sunroof motor assembly may be defective
The wiring harness or connectors may have
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-259
Headlamp automatic-shutdown function
Even if the lighting switch (taillamps switch or headlamp switch)
is ON, the headlamps (including the taillamps) will automati-
cally go off in the following conditions to prevent the battery
from discharging as a result of forgetting to turn off lamps.
If the ignition key is turned from "ON" to "LOCK" (OFF) or
"ACC" position with the lighting switch turned ON, and this
state continues for three minutes, the headlamps will automati-
cally be turned off. If the driver's seat door is opened during
these three minutes, the headlamps will go off one second
later.
NOTE: The headlamp automatic-shutoff function can be cus-
tomized on vehicles equipped with a multi center display (mid-
dle grade type). Refer to P.54B-486.
Dimmer automatic reset function
If the headlamp switch is turned off while the high-beam
headlamps are on, the dimmer switch will be reset. Because of
this, the headlamps will illuminate at low beam the next time
that they are turned on. The dimmer switch will be also reset if
the dimmer switch is turned on unintentionally while the pass-
ing switch is operated.

STEP 2. Check the input signal by using "DATA LIST"
menu of the SWS monitor.
Check the input signals from the following switches:
Ignition switch: "ON" to "OFF"
Lighting switch: "TAIL" or "HEAD"
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 "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(3) Operate Diagnostic Tool MB991958 according to the

f. Select "LIGHTING."
g. Select "H/L AUTO-CUT."
(4) Check that normal conditions are displayed for the items
described in the table below.

Normal conditions are displayed for all the items :
Replace the front-ECU. Verify that the headlamp
automatic shutdown function works normally.
Normal condition is not displayed for "TAILLAMP SW" :
Refer to Inspection Procedure M-5 "ETACS-ECU
does not receive any signal from the taillamp switch
P.54B-420."
Normal condition is not displayed for "IG SW (IG1)" :

INTERIOR LAMP
GENERAL DESCRIPTION CONCERNING THE INTERIOR LAMPM1549021800236
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80The following ECUs affect the functions and control
of the interior lamps.
Interior lamp control function
The ETACS-ECU controls the interior lamps by turn-
ing them on and off in the following way:
When a door is opened with the ignition switch
off, the interior lamps up to a luminance of 100
percent. When a door is closed, the interior lamps
dims at a luminance of 65 percent, and goes off
30 seconds later. However if the ignition switch is
turned ON or if a door is locked while the interior
lamps is dimming, the dome lamp will go off at
that point.
When a door is opened with the ignition switch
ON, the interior lamps up at a luminance of 100
percent. When a door is closed, the interior lamps
go off.
When the ignition key is removed with all doors
closed, the interior lamps up at a luminance of
100 percent, and goes off 30 seconds later. How-
ever if the ignition key is inserted again or if a
door is locked while the interior lamps is lighting,
the interior lamps will go off at that point.
To check keyless entry operations more easily,
the interior lamps is flashed once when the doors
are locked. When the doors are unlocked, the
interior lamps at a luminance of 100 percent, and
go off 15 seconds later.
NOTE: The dimmer function can be customised on
vehicles equipped with a multi center display (middle
grade type). Refer to P.54B-486.
NOTE: The dotted lines indicate that lighting mode
when the ignition switch is turned ON, door is locked,
or any door is opened during the timer illumination
time. FUNCTION CONTROL ECU
