GENERAL DESCRIPTION
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-4
.
FORGOTTEN KEY PREVENTION
FUNCTION
If the driver's door is locked while it is open and
when the key is still in the ignition key cylinder,
approximately 0.3 second later the ETACS-ECU
activates the unlock relay output for 0.25 second
to prevent the door from being locked with the
key inside the vehicle. In addition, if locking the
door was not prevented, a re-try current is sent
(an unlock relay output ON is sent for 0.25 sec-
ond up to 5 times including the first attempt).
If the passenger's door or driver's door are locked
while the passenger's door is open and when the
key is still in the ignition key cylinder, approxi-
mately 0.3 second later the ETACS-ECU acti-
vates the unlock relay output for 0.25 second to
prevent the door from being locked with the key
inside the vehicle. In addition, if locking the door
was not prevented, a re-try current is sent (an
unlock relay output ON is sent for 0.25 second up
to 5 times including the first attempt).
POWER WINDOW RELAY CONTROL
.
POWER WINDOW RELAY OPERATION
If the ignition switch is turned to "ON" or "ACC" posi-
tion, the power window relay is energized to activate
the power windows.
.
POWER WINDOW TIMER FUNCTION
Even after the ignition is switched off, the
ETACS-ECU keeps the power window relay acti-
vated for approximately 30 seconds, enabling raising
and lowering of the power windows by using the
power window switches. After approximately 30 sec-
onds, the power window relay is deactivated. During
this timed operation, if the driver or passenger doors
are opened, the power window relay is deactivated
from that moment.
KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
.
KEYLESS ENTRY HAZARD ANSWER-
BACK FUNCTION
If the keyless entry transmitter is used to send a lock
signal to the ETACS-ECU, all doors, the liftgate, and
the glass hatch are locked and the hazard warning
lamps flash once. If an unlock signal is sent, the
driver's door is unlocked first, and if a second signal
is sent, all doors, the liftgate, and the glass hatch are
unlocked. Each time the unlock signal is sent, the
hazard warning lamps flash twice.
.
KEYLESS ENTRY HORN ANSWERBACK
FUNCTION
If the keyless entry transmitter is used to send 2 lock
signals to the ETACS-ECU, the first signal locks all
doors, while the second signal sounds the horn once.
.
TRUNK UNLOCK FUNCTION
Press the "TRUNK" button twice within 5 seconds
and the trunk lid will be unlocked.
.
TIMED LOCKING MECHANISM
After unlocking the doors with the keyless entry
transmitter, if no doors are opened or if the ignition
key is not inserted, the ETACS-ECU automatically
locks the doors in 30 seconds.
SUNROOF CONTROL
.
SUNROOF TIMER FUNCTION
The ETACS-ECU enables opening and closing of the
sunroof for 30 seconds after the ignition is switched
off. During this timed operation, if the driver's or front
passenger’s door is opened, the sunroof timer func-
tion is deactivated from that moment.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS
.
LOW SPEED WIPER, HIGH SPEED WIPER
CONTROL
When the ignition switch in at the ACC or ON
position, and the windshield low speed wiper
switch of the column switch is turned ON, the
front-ECU turns ON the windshield wiper drive
signal, turns OFF (LO) the windshield wiper
speed relay, and operates the windshield wiper at
low speed.
When the windshield high speed wiper switch is
turned ON, the windshield wiper drive signal is
turned ON, the windshield wiper speed switching
relay is turned ON (HI), and the windshield wiper
is operated at high speed.
.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-7
SEAT BELT INDICATOR
If any of the following conditions is met with the igni-
tion switch at "ON" or "ST", the ETACS-ECU illumi-
nates, flashes or extinguishes the seat belt indicator
by using the driver's seat belt switch signal and the
vehicle speed signal sent from the combination
meter.
Illuminates when the ignition switch is at "ON"
and the seat belt switch is turned on (the driver's
seat belt is unfastened).
Flashes and illuminates the indicator 12 cycles
(after 0.5 seconds) if any of the following condi-
tions is met when sixty seconds or more have
elapsed since the ignition switch is turned "ON".
One cycle consists of five-second "flashing" and
then three-second "illumination".
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 this timer operation has been acti-
vated, it will not be activated again until the
vehicle speed reduces to 3 km/h (2 mph) or
less even if any of the following conditions is
met.
The indicator stops illuminating 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.
DOOR-AJAR INDICATOR LAMP
The combination meter receives the signal sent from
the ETACS-ECU about whether each door or trunk is
open or closed and turns the door ajar indicator lamp
on and off. While the door ajar indicator is illumi-
nated, the door ajar warning function is activated and
the door ajar indicator lamp flashes 4 times. If the
door remains open even after the 4 warning flashes,
the door ajar indicator lamp will be illuminated again.
CONFIGURATION FUNCTION
The following functions can be adjusted by operating
the middle-grade multi center display (if equipped).
Keyless entry horn answerback function
Keyless entry hazard lamp answerback function
Timed locking mechanism
Turn-signal lamp buzzer
Door ajar warning buzzer
Adjustment of door unlocking operation on key-
less entry system
Vehicle speed-dependent wiper function
Headlamp automatic shutdown function

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-187
INSPECTION PROCEDURE D-5: Power Window: Front or rear passenger's power windows do not
work at all by operating the power window main switch.
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
When you operate each power window switch for
front or rear passengers (incorporated in the power
window main switch), the corresponding power win-
dow motor operates, opening or closing each power
window.
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the corresponding power window opens and closes
normally when each power window sub-switch is
operated, the power window main switch may be
defective.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINT
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
The power window main switch may be defective
DIAGNOSIS
Check that power window sub switches operate normally.
Q: A power window cannot work by using the power
window main switch. Can you operate the power
window by using the corresponding power window sub
switch?
YES : Replace the power window main switch. Check that
the front or rear passenger's power window can work
normally by means of power window main switch.
NO : Refer to Symptom Chart P.54B-57 before resolving
this trouble.

If the window glass automatically starts moving downwards at
the wrong time while it is being raised, carry out the following
adjustment or replacement procedures.
1. Remove the door trim assembly (Refer to GROUP 52A,
Door trim P.52A-14).
2. Remove the waterproof film (Refer to P.42-52).
Insert a cushion or similar object to prevent damage to the
glass if it should fall.
3. Remove the window regulator assembly from the door
window glass, and then raise and lower the door window
glass by hand to check the operation force.
4. If the door window glass does not move up and down
smoothly, check or repair the following points:
Check the installation condition of the runchannel.
Repair any twisting in the door sash.
Check the installation condition of the lower sash.
NOTE: To align the lower sash, loosen the lower sash
mounting bolts, and move the lower sash along the oblong
mounting holes.
5. If repair or adjustment is not possible, replace the door
assembly.
POWER WINDOW TIMER FUNCTION CHECKM1429004300154
After the doors are closed and the ignition switch is turned to
the "LOCK" (OFF) position, the power windows should work
within 30 seconds. The timer expires if the front door is opened
during that 30 seconds. If it does not, carry out the timer trou-
bleshooting in GROUP 54B, SWS Diagnosis P.54B-57.
