TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDEINPUT CHECK
\JUsing the multi-use tester or voltmeter, check whether or not
the input signals from each switch are being input to the
ETACS unit.
(1) Connect the multi-use tester to the diagnosis check
connector located at the right side of the junction block or
connect the voltmeter between the ETACS terminal and
the ground terminal.
(2) Check if the buzzer of the multi-use tester sounds or the
needle of the voltmeter moves when each switch noted
below is operated.
If the buzzer sounds or the needle moves, the input signals
are being input to the ETACS unit, so that switch can be
considered to be functioning normally. If not, the switch or
switch input circuit is faulty. Check the switch and the
switch input circuit.
