[54E] SMART WIRING SYSTEM (SWS) USING SWS MONITOR <Except for Hong Kong spec.> - - SYMPTOM PROCEDURES - FOG LAMP - INSPECTION PROCEDURE N-2: The rear fog lamps do not illuminate normally. <Vehicles for Argentina> | PRINT PAGE / INDEX / PRIOR / NEXT

INSPECTION PROCEDURE N-2: The rear fog lamps do not illuminate normally. <Vehicles for Argentina>
| CAUTION Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the input and output signal circuits are normal.
| OPERATION The ETACS-ECU operates this function in accordance with the input signals below. Tail lamp switch Headlamp switch Rear fog lamp switch If the rear fog lamps do not illuminate normally, these input signal circuit(s) or the ETACS-ECU may be defective.
| POSSIBLE CAUSES Malfunction of the column switch Malfunction of the fog lamp switch Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU Damaged harness wires and connectors
| DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
| Step 1. Check that the tail lamps and headlamps operate. Check that the tail lamps and headlamps illuminate normally. Q: Is the check result normal? YES: Go to Step 2. NO: Check the tail lamps and the headlamps (Refer to trouble symptom chart ).
| Step 2. ECU check by using the SWS monitor Check that the power supply and earth lines to the column switch (column-ECU), the ETACS-ECU and the front-ECU and the SWS communication lines are normal. Ignition switch: OFF ECUS TO BE CHECKED COLUMN ECU ETACS ECU FRONT ECU OK: "OK" are displayed for all the items Q: Is the check result normal? "OK" are displayed for all the items: Go to Step 3. "NG" is displayed on the "COLUMN ECU" menu.: Refer to Inspection Procedure A-2 "Communication with column switch (column-ECU) is not possible ." "NG" is displayed on the "ETACS ECU" menu.: Refer to Inspection Procedure A-3 "Communication with ETACS-ECU is not possible ." "NG" is displayed on the "FRONT ECU" menu.: Refer to Inspection Procedure A-4 "Communication with front-ECU is not possible ."
| Step 3. Function diagnosis by using the SWS monitor Check the SWS communication signal, which are related to the fog lamps. <Selected item> LIGHTING - REAR FOG LAMP Ignition switch: ON Lighting switch: "TAIL" or "HEAD" Rear fog lamp switch: ON
Item No. | Item name | Normal condition
--- | --- | ---
Item 00 | HEADLAMP SW | ON when the lighting switch is at HEAD
Item 01 | TAIL LAMP SW | ON when the lighting switch is at TAIL
OK: Normal conditions are displayed for all the items. Q: Is the check result normal? Normal conditions are displayed for all the items.: Go to Step 4. Normal condition is not displayed for item 00 or 01.: Refer to Inspection Procedure P-5 "The column switch (lighting and turn-signal lamp switch) signal is not received ."
| Step 4. Pulse check Check the input signals below, which are related to the rear fog lamps.
System switch | Check condition
--- | ---
Ignition switch (IG1) | When turned from ACC to ON
Rear fog lamp switch | When the rear fog lamp switch is turned from off to on
OK: The MUT-II/III sounds or the voltmeter needle fluctuates. Q: Is the check result normal? All the signals are received normally.: Go to Step 5. The ignition switch (IG1) signal is not received.: Refer to Inspection Procedure P-2 "The ignition switch (IG1) signal is not received ." The rear fog lamp switch signal is not received.: Refer to Inspection Procedure P-11 "The rear fog lamp switch signal is not received ."
| Step 5. Connector check: C-212 rear fog lamp relay connector Q: Is the check result normal? YES: Go to Step 6. NO: Repair the defective connector.
| Step 6. Check the rear fog lamp relay. Refer to GROUP 54A - Rear fog lamp . Q: Is the check result normal? YES: Go to Step 7. NO: Replace the rear fog lamp relay.
| Step 7. Measure the voltage at the C-212 rear fog lamp relay connector. Remove the rear fog lamp relay, and measure at the relay box side. Check the voltage between the rear fog lamp relay connector and body earth. Voltage between C-212 rear fog lamp relay connector terminal No.3 and body earth Voltage between C-212 rear fog lamp relay connector terminal No.4 and body earth OK: Battery positive voltage Q: Is the check result normal? YES: Go to Step 9. NO: Go to Step 8.
| Step 8. Check the wiring harness between C-212 rear fog lamp relay connector (terminal Nos.3 and 4) and the battery. NOTE: Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check intermediate connector C-116 and junction block connectors C-201, C-204 and C-205, and repair if necessary. Check the power supply line 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 ). NO: Repair the wiring harness.
| Step 9. Connector check: C-219 ETACS-ECU connector Q: Is the check result normal? YES: Go to Step 10. NO: Repair the defective connector.
| Step 10. Check the wiring harness between C-212 rear fog lamp relay connector terminal No.2 and C-219 ETACS-ECU connector terminal No.74. NOTE: Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check junction block connector C-201, and repair if necessary. Check the output lines for open circuit. Q: Is the check result normal? YES: Go to Step 11. NO: Repair the wiring harness.
| Step 11. Retest the system. Check that the rear fog lamps illuminate 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 ). NO: Replace the ETACS-ECU.
