SYMPTOM PROCEDURES

SMART WIRING SYSTEM (SWS) USING SWS MONITOR

54C-63

COMMENT ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

If the central door locking system does not work at 
all, the front door lock actuator (RH) or the 
ETACS-ECU may be defective.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the front door lock actuator (RH)

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Step 1. ECU check on the SWS monitor
Check that the power supply and earth lines to the 
ETACS-ECU and the SWS communication lines are 
normal.

• Ignition switch: OFF

ECUS TO BE CHECKED

• ETACS ECU

OK: "OK" is displayed on the "ETACS ECU" 
menu.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 2.

NO : 

Refer to Inspection Procedure A-3 
"Communication with the ETACS-ECU is 
not possible 

P.54C-36

."

Step 2. Pulse check
Check the input signal from the driver's door lock 
actuator switch.

OK: The M.U.T.-II/III sounds or the voltmeter 
needle fluctuates.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 3.

NO : 

Refer to Inspection Procedure L-12 "The 
driver's door lock actuator signal is not 
received <RH drive vehicles>

P.54C-299

 ."

Step 3. Connector check: E-15 front door lock 
actuator (RH) connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 4.

NO : 

Repair the defective connector.

Step 4. Check the front door lock actuator (RH)
Check that the front door lock actuator (RH) works 
normally. Refer to GROUP 42 

− Door 

P.42-31

.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 5.

NO : 

Replace the front door lock actuator (RH).

Step 5. Connector check: C-226 ETACS-ECU 
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 6.

NO : 

Repair the defective connector.

Step 6. Check the wiring harness between C-226 
ETACS-ECU connector terminal No.2 and fusible 
link (1).

NOTE: 

Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check interme-
diate connector C-126 and junction block connector 
C-212, and repair if necessary.

• Check the power supply line for open or short cir-

cuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 7.

NO : 

Repair the wiring harness.

Step 7. Retest the system.
Check that the central door locking system works 
normally.

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 : 

Replace the ETACS-ECU.
