SWS DIAGNOSIS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
BEFORE CARRYING OUT TROUBLESHOOTINGM1549014700710
Before carrying out troubleshooting, check the fol-
lowing two items.
Make sure that the ETACS-ECU, the junction
block (J/B), the front-ECU and the engine com-
partment relay box are connected securely.
Make sure that fuses and fusible links related to
relevant systems are not blown.
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTIONM1549028900245
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
If an error occurs in the ECU or the SWS or CAN
communication line which performs the SWS or CAN
communication, the DTC is memorized in
ETACS-ECU. The DTCs have 11 items. The DTCs
are checked to connect diagnostic tool MB991958
(MUT-III sub assembly). The memorised DTCs are
not erased even if the ignition switch is turned to the
LOCK (OFF) position. The DTCs are erased to oper-
ate diagnostic tool MB991958 (MUT-III sub assem-
bly).NOTE:
*1: For vehicles that do not have a sunroof,
the diagnosis code is always sent but it does not indi-
cate a problem.
NOTE:
*2: The diagnosis code for the current prob-
lem is not sent.
NOTE:
*3: For vehicles that do not have a multi cen-
ter display (middle grade type), the diagnosis code is
always sent but it does not indicate a problem.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE PROCEDURES
DTC 001: Trouble in SWS communication line or ETACS-ECU
NOTE: This troubleshooting procedure requires the
use of diagnostic tool MB991958 and SWS monitor
kit MB991813. For details on how to use the SWS
monitor, refer to "How to connect SWS monitor
P.54B-13."
If DTC 001 is set in the ETACS-ECU, always diag-
nose the CAN main bus line.
.
TROUBLE JUDGMENT
The ETACS-ECU communicates with the column
switch, the front-ECU and the sunroof-ECU through
the SWS communication line. If there is any trouble
in the SWS communication line and the
ETACS-ECU, DTC 001 will be set.
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
Current trouble
The wiring harness wire or connectors may have
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector, or the
ETACS-ECU may be defective.Past trouble
If DTC 001 is set as past trouble, carry out diag-
nosis with particular emphasis on wiring and con-
nector(s) in the SWS communication line. For
diagnosis procedures, refer to "How to cope with
past trouble" (Refer to GROUP 00, How to treat
past trouble P.00-16).
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

STEP 2. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Check if the DTC is set.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the DTC set?
YES : Replace the ETACS-ECU. After replacement, verify
that the DTC is not reset.
NO : There is an intermittent malfunction such as poor
engaged connector(s) or open circuit (Refer to
GROUP 00, How to Cope with Intermittent
Malfunction P.00-14).
DTC 011 (U1100): Engine ECU Time-out
DTC 012 (U1101): A/T ECU Time-out
If DTC (U1100) or 012 is set in the ETACS-ECU,
always diagnose the CAN main bus line.
Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the
communication circuit is normal.
.
TROUBLE JUDGMENT
DTC 011 (U1100)
The ETACS-ECU receives engine control sys-
tem-related signal from the Engine ECU. If the
ECU cannot receive the signal, DTC 011
(U1100) will be set. DTC 012 (U1101)
The ETACS-ECU receives automatic transaxle
control system-related signal from the A/T ECU.
If automatic transaxle control system-related sig-
nal cannot be received, DTC 012 (U1101) will be
set.
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
Current trouble
Connector(s) or wiring harness in the CAN bus
lines between the Engine ECU or A/T ECU and
the ETACS-ECU, the power supply system to the
Engine ECU or A/T ECU, the Engine ECU or A/T
ECU itself, or the ETACS-ECU may be defective.
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-40
Past trouble
If DTC (U1100) or 012 is stored as a past trouble,
carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis on
wiring and connector(s) in the CAN bus line
between the ETACS-ECU and the Engine ECU or
A/T ECU , and the power supply system to the
Engine ECU or A/T ECU. For diagnosis proce-
dures, refer to "How to cope with past trouble"
(Refer to GROUP 00, How to treat past trouble
P.00-16).
NOTE: You cannot find a past trouble, by the
MUT-III CAN bus diagnostics even if there is a
failure in CAN bus lines. In this case, refer to
GROUP 00, How to Cope with Intermittent Mal-
function P.00-14 and check the CAN bus lines. You can narrow down the possible cause of the
trouble by referring to the DTC, which is set
regarding the CAN communication-linked ECUs
(Refer to GROUP 54C, CAN Bus Line Diagnostic
Flow P.54C-6).
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
The wiring harness or connectors may have
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector.
The Engine ECU or A/T ECU may be defective.
The ETACS-ECU may be defective.

Malfunction P.00-14).
DTC 021 (U1128): Failure Information on Combination Meter.
If DTC 021 (U1128) is set in the ETACS-ECU,
always diagnose the CAN main bus line.
Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the
communication circuit is normal.
The combination meter- related DTC may be set
when DTC 021 (U1128) is set. (For details refer
to GROUP 00, Affiliated DTC Reference Table
P.00-17.) Diagnose the combination meter first
when the combination meter- related DTC is set.
.
TROUBLE JUDGMENT
The ETACS-ECU receives combination
meter-related signal from the combination meter via
the CAN bus lines. If a fail-safe related data is con-
tained in the signal from the combination meter,
DTC 021 (U1128) will be stored.
