STEP 5. Retest the system
Check that the position lamp, tail lamp and licence 
plate lamp illuminate normally.

Q: Is the check result normal?

The lamps illuminate normally at both high and low 
beams. : 

The trouble can be an intermittent 

malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 

− How to 

use Troubleshooting/inspection Service 
Points 

− How to Cope with Intermittent 

Malfunction ).

When the position lamps do not illuminate : 

Replace the position lamp socket.

When the tail lamps do not illuminate : 

Replace 

the rear combination lamp socket.

When the licence plate lamps do not illuminate : 

Replace the licence plate lamp socket.

Inspection Procedure 10: None of the turn-signal lamps illuminate.

CAUTION

• Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the 

power supply circuit, the earth circuit and the 
communication circuit are normal.

• When the ETACS-ECU of vehicles without 

KOS is replaced, the encrypted code of the 
ignition key needs to be registered to the 
ETACS-ECU. (If the encrypted code is not reg-
istered, the engine cannot be started. Regis-
ter the encrypted code as described in 
Immobilizer System 

− How to Register Key ID
