SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-356
Interior lamp automatic-shutoff function
Illuminated interior lamps such as the front dome
lamp, etc. (all lamps using the dome lamp fuse as the
power supply) will automatically go off in the follow-
ing conditions to prevent the battery from discharging
as a result of forgetting to turn off the lamps or
incomplete closing of the door.
When the ignition switch is turned off and more
than 30 minutes pass with the interior lamp illumi-
nated, the interior lamps will go off automatically.
When the ignition switch is turned off and one of
the door switches remains open for 30 minutes
continuously, the interior lamps will go off auto-
matically.
NOTE: The interior lamp automatic shutoff function
can be customised on vehicles equipped with a multi
center display (middle grade type). Refer to
P.54B-486.
Ignition key hole illumination lamp function
The ignition key hole illumination lamp illuminates when the
driver's door is opened with the ignition switch off, and for 30
seconds after the driver's door is closed. It also illuminates for
30 seconds after the ignition key is pulled out. In any case, it
goes out when the ignition switch is turned on.
Door ajar indicator
The combination meter receives the signal sent from the
ETACS-ECU about whether each door is open or closed and
turns the door ajar indicator on and off. While the door ajar indi-
cator is illuminated, the door ajar warning function is activated
and the door ajar indicator flashes 4 times. If the door remains
open even after the 4 warning flashes, the door ajar indicator
will be illuminated again. And when the interior lamp auto-
matic-shutoff function is activated, the door ajar indicator is
extinguished.

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-358
If any of the following conditions is met with the igni-
tion switch at "ON" or "ST", the ETACS-ECU illumi-
nates, flashes or extinguishes the seat belt indicator
by using the driver's seat belt switch signal and the
vehicle speed signal sent from the combination
meter.
Illuminates when the ignition switch is at "ON"
and the seat belt switch is turned on (the driver's
seat belt is unfastened).
Flashes and illuminates the indicator 12 cycles
(after 0.5 seconds) if any of the following condi-
tions is met when sixty seconds or more have
elapsed since the ignition switch is turned "ON".
One cycle consists of five-second "flashing" and
then three-second "illumination".a. The vehicle speed has reached 8 km/h (5
mph) while the seat belt switch is turned on
(driver's seat belt is not fastened) with the
ignition switch "ON.
b. The seat belt switch has been turned on
(driver's seat belt has not been fastened) for
at least ten seconds while the ignition switch
has been turned "ON" and the vehicle speed
has been 8 km/h (5 mph) or more.
NOTE: Once this timer operation has been acti-
vated, it will not be activated again until the
vehicle speed reduces to 3 km/h (2 mph) or
less even if any of the following conditions is
met.
The indicator stops illuminating if the ignition
switch or the seat belt switch is turned off (the
driver's seat belt is fastened) while the timer
operation is active.
