Montero XLS 4WD V6-3.5L SOHC (2001)
turn-signal lights flash.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
The ETACS-ECU makes the turn-signal lights flash, based on the input signals from the following switches:
-
Ignition switch (IG1)
-
Turn-signal light switch
If the turn-signal lights do not flash normally, a defect on the relevant circuits or the ETACS-ECU may be suspected.
If the hazard warning lights also do not flash, a defect in the ETACS-ECU power supply line specific to the turn-signal lights is suspected.
NOTE: If only one of the turn-signal lights does not flash, the light bulb may be burned out or the harness wires between the ETACS-ECU and the light
may be defective. In this case, check the circuit by referring to Turn-signal Light and Hazard Warning Light.
