COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

The interior lamp automatic shutdown function oper-
ates in accordance with the interior lamp loaded sig-
nal. If this signal is abnormal, the functions below will 
not work normally.

• Ignition key cylinder illumination lamp

• Room lamps

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

• Damaged wiring harness or connector(s)

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step 1. Check the power supply circuit.
When the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK 
(OFF) position, check if the hazard warning lamps 
illuminate.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 2.

NO : 

Refer to inspection procedure A-2 "Check 
the battery power supply circuit to the 
ETACS-ECU 

P.54B-42

."

Step 2. Connector check: C-226 ETACS-ECU 
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 3.

NO : 

Repair the defective connector.

Step 3. Voltage measurement at the C-226 
ETACS-ECU connector

(1) Remove the ETACS-ECU, and measure at the 

junction block side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

(3) Voltage between C-226 ETACS-ECU connector 

terminal No.8 and body earth

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 5.

NO : 

Go to Step 4.

Step 4. Check the wiring harness between C-226 
ETACS-ECU connector terminal No.8 and the 
ignition switch (IG1).

NOTE: 

Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check junction 
block connector C-211, and repair if necessary.

• Check the power supply line to the ignition switch 

(IG1) for open circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

The trouble can be an intermittent 

malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunction 

P.00-5

).

NO : 

Repair the wiring harness.

Step 5. Voltage measurement at the C-226 
ETACS-ECU connector

(1) Remove the ETACS-ECU, and measure at the 

junction block side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position.

(3) Voltage between C-226 ETACS-ECU connector 

terminal No.4 and body earth

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 7.

NO : 

Go to Step 6.
