Eclipse V6-3.0L SOHC (2003)
Turn-Signal Light Power Supply Circuit Part 2
CIRCUIT OPERATION
-
The turn-signal light switch sends a signal through the column-ECU (incorporated in the column switch) to the ETACS-ECU. If the column-ECU
sends a turn-signal light switch "ON" signal to the ETACS-ECU, the ETACS-ECU turns on the flasher timer (incorporated in the ETACS-ECU),
thus causing the turn-signal lights to flash.
-
The ETACS-ECU operates the turn-signal lights according to the following signals:
-
Ignition switch (IG1): ON
-
Turn-signal light switch: ON
-
The ETACS-ECU flashes the turn-signal lights under the following conditions:
-
Ignition key: "ON" position
-
Turn-signal light switch: Left or right turn-signal position
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
Is the turn-signal lights do not flash normally, the input circuits from the switches described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION" or the ETACS-ECU may be
defective. If the hazard warning lights do not flash, the power supply line to the ETACS-ECU (dedicated to the turn-signal lights) may be defective.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
-
Malfunction of column switch (turn-signal light and lighting switch)
-
