GENERAL – How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points00-8
WHEN USING THE WARNING LAMP
1. Use the special tool to earth No.1 terminal (diagnosis
control terminal) of the diagnosis connector.
2. To check ABS system, remove the valve relay.
NOTE
That is because the valve relay is off and the warning
lamp remains illuminated if there is a fault in the ABS
system.
3. Turn on the ignition switch.
4. Read out a diagnosis code by observing how the warning
lamp flashes.

*: Even if the ABS system is normal, removing the valve relay causes the diagnosis code No.52 to

WHEN USING THE VOLTMETER
Use the special tool to connect the diagnosis output terminals
and the earth terminal of the diagnosis connector to a voltmeter
and take a reading of the diagnosis codes from the movement
of the needle.

METHOD OF ERASING DIAGNOSIS CODES
WHEN USING THE MUT-II
Connect the MUT-II to the diagnosis connector and erase the diagnosis code.
Caution
Turn off the ignition switch before connecting or disconnecting the MUT-II.
WHEN NOT USING THE MUT-II
(1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
(2) After disconnecting the battery cable from the battery (–) terminal for 10 seconds or more, reconnect
the cable.
(3) After the engine has warmed up, run it at idle for about 15 minutes.
INPUT SIGNAL INSPECTION POINTS WITH ETACS-ECU>
WHEN USING THE MUT-II
1. Connect the MUT-II to the diagnosis connector.
Caution
The MUT-II should be connected or disconnected after
turning the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. If buzzer of the MUT-II sounds once when the each switch
is operated (ON/OFF), the ETACS-ECU input signal for
that switch circuit system is normal.
WHEN USING VOLTMETER
1. Use the special tool to connect a voltmeter between
the earth terminal (No. 4 or 5) and the ETACS terminal
(No. 9) of the diagnosis connector.
2. If the voltmeter indicator deflects once when the each
switch is operated (ON/OFF), the ETACS-ECU input signal
for that switch circuit system is normal.

FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION REFERENCE TABLE
When the main sensor malfunctions are detected by the diagnosis function, the vehicle is controlled
by means of the pre-set control logic to maintain safe conditions for driving.
Malfunctioning itemControl contents during malfunction
Air flow sensor1. Uses the throttle position sensor signal and engine speed signal (crank angle sensor
signal) to take reading of the basic injector drive time and basic ignition timing from
the pre-set mapping.
2. Fixes the ISC servo in the appointed position so idle control is not performed.
Intake air temperature
sensorControls as if the intake air temperature is 25C.
Throttle position
sensorNo increase in fuel injection amount during acceleration due to the throttle position sensor
signal.
Engine coolant
temperature sensor1. Controls as if the engine coolant temperature is 80C.
(This condition is maintained until the ignition switch is turned off even when the
sensor signal returns normal.)
2. Lets the fan motor (radiator and condenser) run at high speed.
Camshaft position
sensorInjects fuel to all cylinders simultaneously for 4 seconds.
(However, after the ignition switch is turned to ON, the No. 1 cylinder top dead centre is not
detected at all.)
Barometric pressure
sensorControls as if the barometric pressure is 101 kPa.
Detonation sensorSwitches the ignition timing from ignition timing for super petrol to ignition timing for standard
petrol.
Ignition coil, power
transistor unitCuts off the fuel supply to cylinders with an abnormal ignition.
Alternator FR terminalDoes not control the output of the alternator according to an electrical load. (works as a
normal alternator)

BODY – Sunroof42-11
Inspection Procedure 2
The motor does not reverse its direction when a load of
140 N or more is applied while the sunroof is closing.
Probable cause
The sunroof-ECU monitors the load conditions from the amount of current flowing
to the motor. If more than the constant amount of current is flowing, the direction
of motor operation is reversed to prevent jamming.
If the motor does not reverse direction even when an excessive load is being applied,
the cause may be a malfunction of the sunroof-ECU.
Malfunction of sunroof-ECU
Replace the sunroof-ECU.
Inspection Procedure 3
The timer does not operate for 30 seconds after the
ignition switch is turned to OFF.
Probable cause
The sunroof-ECU has a timer function which operates for 30 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to OFF. If the timer does not operate, the cause may be a malfunction
of the sunroof-ECU or of the wiring harness or connector.
Malfunction of sunroof-ECU

Inspection Procedure 4
Opening or closing of the sunroof is possible for 30
seconds after turning the ignition switch to OFF, but the
timer function is not extended when the driver’s side door
is opened within this period.
Probable cause
The sunroof timer operation period is extended when an on signal is output from
the driver’s-side door switch. Because of this, if the timer operation period is not
extended, the cause may be a malfunction of the door switch input circuit.
