Inspection Procedure 1: The front fog lamps do not illuminate normally.



caution
  • Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the power supply circuit, the earth circuit and the communication circuit are normal.
  • When the ETACS-ECU of vehicles without KOS is replaced, the encrypted code of the ignition key needs to be registered to the ETACS-ECU. (If the encrypted code is not registered, the engine cannot be started. Register the encrypted code as described in Immobilizer System - How to Register Key ID .)


CIRCUIT OPERATION


If the front fog lamps do not illuminate normally, the input signal circuit(s) below or the ETACS-ECU may be defective.


COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


When the front fog lamps do not illuminate normally, the mentioned input signal circuit(s) or ETACS-ECU may be defective.

PROBABLE CAUSES




DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. ETACS-ECU coding data check


(1)Operate the M.U.T.-III to read the ETACS-ECU option coding information (Refer to GROUP 00 - Coding Table ).
(2)Check that the "Front fog lamp" is set to "Present."

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 2.

Operate the M.U.T.-III to set the option coding "Front fog lamp" to "Present," and check the trouble symptom.

STEP 2. Check the operation of the position lamps and the headlamps.


Check that the position lamps and the headlamps illuminate normally.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.

Check the position lamps and the headlamps (Refer to trouble symptom chart ).

STEP 3. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code


Check if diagnosis code is set to the ETACS-ECU.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Troubleshoot the ETACS-ECU. Refer to .

Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. M.U.T.-III data list


Use the ETACS-ECU service data to check the signal related to the operation of front fog lamp function.

Item No.
Item name
Normal condition
Item 345
Fog lamp ON
ON
OK: Normal condition is displayed.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.

Troubleshoot the ETACS-ECU. Refer to Inspection Procedure 11 "The column switch signal is not received" .

STEP 5. Check the front fog lamp relay


Refer to .

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6.

Replace the front fog lamp relay.

STEP 6. Voltage measurement at front fog lamp relay connector (power supply terminals).


(1)Remove the front fog lamp relay, and measure at the relay box side.
(2)Check the voltage between the front fog lamp relay connector (power supply terminals) and body earth.
OK: System voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 8.

Go to Step 7.

STEP 7. Check of open circuit in power supply lines between the front fog lamp relay connector and fusible link.


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 11.

Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 8. Check of open circuit in FOGY line between the front fog lamp relay connector and ETACS-ECU connector.


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 9.

Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 9. Check of open circuit in output line between the front fog lamp relay connector and front fog lamp (LH), front fog lamp (RH) connector.


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 10.

Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 10. Check of open circuit in earth line between the front fog lamp (LH), front fog lamp (RH) connector and body earth.


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 11.

Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 11. Retest the system


Check that the front fog 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 ).

Replace the ETACS-ECU.
