STEP 4. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
2. Check if the DTC is set.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the check result satisfactory?
YES:
A poor connection, open circuit or other intermittent malfunction is
present in the lines between the powertrain control module and the A/C-
ECU (Refer to
HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECTION
).
NO:
Replace the powertrain control module. On completion, check that
the DTC is not reset.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Malfunction of middle-grade multi-center display unit Malfunction of the A/C-ECU Damaged harness wires and connectors
DIAGNOSIS REQUIRED SPECIAL TOOLS:
MB991223: Harness Set MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)
MB991824: V.C.I. MB991827: USB Cable MB991910: Main Harness A
STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus line.
1. Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connec
tor.
check the CAN bus lines. You can narrow down the
possible cause of the trouble by referring to the DTC, which
is set regarding the CAN communication-linked ECUs
(Refer to EXPLANATION ABOUT THE MUT
-III CAN BUS
DIAGNOSIS
).
CAUTION: To prevent damage to scan tool (MUT-III), always
turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
position before connecting or disconnecting
scan tool (MUT-III).

2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Diagnose the CAN bus line.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position. Q: Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?
YES:
Go to Step 2.
NO:
Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to
EXPLANATION ABOUT THE
