Code No.B1707: Flasher open




COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


When the turn-signal lamp bulb is blown, or connector(s) or wiring harness between the ETACS-ECU, the turn-signal lamp which does not illuminate and body earth is defective, the ETACS-ECU set diagnosis code No.B1707.

PROBABLE CAUSES




DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. Confirm which turn-signal lamp is defective.


Q. Which turn-signal lamp fails to illuminate correctly?

Front turn-signal lamp : Go to Step 2.
Side turn-signal lamp : Go to Step 7.
Rear turn-signal lamp : Go to Step 12.

STEP 2. Check the bulb(s) of the front turn-signal lamps.


Check the bulb(s) of the defective lamp.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.
Replace the bulb(s) of the defective lamp. Go to Step 17.

STEP 3. Resistance measurement at the front turn-signal lamp (LH) connector or front turn-signal lamp (RH) connector.


(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Resistance measurement between the defective lamp connector terminal and body earth.

  • Measure the resistance between the front turn-signal lamp (LH) connector (earth terminal) and the body earth.
  • Measure the resistance between the front turn-signal lamp (RH) connector (earth terminal) and the body earth.
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.
Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check of open circuit in body earth line between front turn-signal lamp (LH) connector or front turn-signal lamp (RH) connector and body earth.


Q. Is the check result normal?

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ). Go to Step 17.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness. Go to Step 17.

STEP 5. Check of open circuit in TURN LH or TURN RH line between front turn-signal lamp (LH) connector or front turn-signal lamp (RH) connector and ETACS-ECU connector.


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness. Go to Step 17.

STEP 6. Retest the system.


Check that the front turn-signal lamps illuminate normally.

Q. Is the check result normal?

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ). Go to Step 17.
Replace the front turn-signal lamp. Go to Step 17.

STEP 7. Check the bulb(s) of side turn-signal lamps.


Check the bulb(s) of the defective lamp.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 8.
Replace the bulb(s) of the defective lamp. Go to Step 17.

STEP 8. Resistance measurement at the side turn-signal lamp (LH) connector or side turn-signal lamp (RH) connector.


(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Resistance measurement between the defective lamp connector terminal and body earth.

  • Measure the resistance between the side turn-signal lamp (LH) connector (earth terminal) and the body earth.
  • Measure the resistance between the side turn-signal lamp (RH) connector (earth terminal) and the body earth.
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 10.
Go to Step 9.

STEP 9. Check of open circuit in body earth line between side turn-signal lamp (LH) connector or side turn-signal lamp (RH) connector and body earth.


Q. Is the check result normal?

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness. Go to Step 17.

STEP 10. Check of open circuit in TURN LH or TURN RH line between side turn-signal lamp (LH) connector or side turn-signal lamp (RH) connector and ETACS-ECU connector.


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 11.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness. Go to Step 17.

STEP 11. Retest the system.


Check that the side turn-signal lamps illuminate normally.

Q. Is the check result normal?

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ). Go to Step 17.
Replace the side turn-signal lamp. Go to Step 17.

STEP 12. Check the bulb(s) of rear turn-signal lamps.


Check the bulb(s) of the defective lamp.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 13.
Replace the bulb(s) of the defective lamp. Go to Step 17.

STEP 13. Resistance measurement at the rear combination lamp (turn: LH) or rear combination lamp (turn: RH) connector.


(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Resistance measurement between the defective lamp connector terminal and body earth.

  • Measure the resistance between the side rear combination lamp (turn: LH) connector (earth terminal) and the body earth.
  • Measure the resistance between the side rear combination lamp (turn: RH) connector (earth terminal) and the body earth.
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 15.
Go to Step 14.

STEP 14. Check of open circuit in body earth line between rear combination lamp (turn: LH) connector or rear combination lamp (turn: RH) connector and body earth.


Q. Is the check result normal?

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ). Go to Step 17.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness. Go to Step 17.

STEP 15. Check of open circuit in TURN LH or TURN RH line between rear combination lamp (turn: LH) connector or rear combination lamp (turn: RH) connector and ETACS-ECU connector.


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 16.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness. Go to Step 17.

STEP 16. Retest the system.


Check that the rear turn-signal lamps illuminate normally.

Q. Is the check result normal?

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ). Go to Step 17.
Replace the rear combination lamp. Go to Step 17.

STEP 17. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.


Check if diagnosis code No.B1707 is set to the ETACS-ECU.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Replace the ETACS-ECU.
The procedure is complete.
