Code No.02 Communication Error with Column Switch


















caution If diagnosis code No.02 is set in the ETACS-ECU, diagnose the CAN bus lines.


TROUBLE JUDGMENT


The ETACS-ECU communicates with the column switch through the SWS communication lines. If there is any trouble in that communication, diagnosis code No.02 will be set.

COMMENT ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


The column switch, the ETACS-ECU, connector(s), or wiring harness between the two may be defective.

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Malfunction of the column switch
  • Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU
  • Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics


Use the M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 2.
Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54D - Troubleshooting ).

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code


(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
(2)Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) position to ON
(3)On completion, check that diagnosis code No.02 is not reset.

Q. Is diagnosis code No.02 set?

Go to Step 6.
Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Connector check: D-311 column switch connector


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 4.
Repair the defective connector.

STEP 4. Voltage measurement at D-311 column switch connector.


(1)Remove the column switch, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Voltage between D-311 column switch connector terminal No.1 and body earth
OK: System voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Replace the column switch.
Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check the wiring harness between D-311 column switch connector terminal No.1 and the fusible link (1).


note Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check intermediate connector D-241, and repair if necessary.

  • Check the power supply line for open circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points ).
Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 6. Resistance measurement at the D-311 column switch connector.


(1)Remove the column switch, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Resistance between D-311 column switch connector terminal No.4 and body earth
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 8.
Go to Step 7.

STEP 7. Check the wiring harness between D-311 column switch connector terminal No.4 and body earth.



  • Check the earth wires for open circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points ).
Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 8. Connector check: D-420 ETACS-ECU connector


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 9.
Repair the defective connector.

STEP 9. Check the wiring harness from D-420 ETACS-ECU connector terminal Nos.59 and 68 to D-311 column switch connector terminal Nos.3 and 2.



  • Check the communication lines for open circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 10.
Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 10. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.


Replace the column switch, and then check that the diagnosis code is not reset.
(1)Replace the column switch.
(2)Erase the diagnosis code.
(3)Ignition switch: LOCK (OFF) position to ON
(4)On completion, check that diagnosis code No.02 is not reset.

Q. Is diagnosis code No.02 set?

Replace the ETACS-ECU.
The procedure is complete.
