Turn-Signal Light Power Supply Circuit Part 2
CIRCUIT OPERATION
-
The turn-signal light switch sends any 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)
-
Turn-signal light switch
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
-
The column switch (turn-signal light and lighting switch) may be defective
-
The ETACS-ECU may be defective
-
The wiring harness or connectors may have loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector
