INSPECTION PROCEDURE A-3: Communication with the ETACS-ECU is not Possible.
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The power supply to the ETACS-ECU is provided
by the battery and the ignition switch (IG1).
If the power supply system from the battery is
defective, the system operates by the power sup-
ply from the ignition switch (IG1).
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
It is suspected that the power supply circuit to the
ETACS-ECU is defective, or the wiring harness
between the SWS monitor kit and the ETACS-ECU
or their connector(s) is damaged. If the battery power
supply circuit to the ECU (terminal 20 of the ETACS-ECU) is damaged, also check the power
supply circuit from the ignition switch (IG1) (terminal
8 of the ETACS-ECU), and repair if necessary. If the
ground circuit to the ECU (terminal 3 of the
ETACS-ECU) is damaged, also check the ground cir-
cuit to the sensor (terminal 50 of the ETACS-ECU),
and repair if necessary.
