TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Malfunction of the A/C-ECU. Malfunction of the powertrain control module.
DIAGNOSIS REQUIRED SPECIAL TOOLS:
MB991223: Harness Set MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)
MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.) MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable MB991910: MUT-III Main Harness A (Vehicles with CAN
communication system)
STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus line.
1. Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connec
tor.
In this case, refer to HOW TO USE TROUBLESHOOTING/ INSPECTION SERVICE POINTS
). and 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
MUT
-III CAN BUS DIAGNOSIS
, DIAGNOSIS < VEHICLES
WITHOUT ADVANCED AIR BAG
or
DIAGNOSIS
WITH ADVANCED AIR BAG>
.)
STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, read the powertrain control module
diagnostic trouble code.

Check whether any engine or automatic transaxle DTCs are set or not.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
2. Check for engine and automatic transaxle DTCs.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position. Q: Is the check result satisfactory?
YES:
Go to Step 3.
NO:
Refer to
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
).
STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, check for any diagnostic trouble code.

Check if a DTC, which relates to CAN communication-linked systems below,
is set.
Combination meter
DTC indicating a time-out error related to the engine or automatic
transaxle control system ETACS
DTC indicating a time-out error related to the engine or automatic
transaxle control system Multi-center display unit (middle grade type)
DTC indicating a time-out error related to the engine or automatic
transaxle control system
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
2. Check for a DTC related to the relevant system
3. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the check result satisfactory?
YES:
Go to Step 5 .
NO:
Go to Step 4.
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:
There is an intermittent malfunction such as poor engaged connector
(s) or open circuit (Refer to
HOW TO USE TROUBLESHOOTING/
INSPECTION SERVICE POINTS
).
NO:
Replace the powertrain control module. On completion, check that
the DTC is not reset.
STEP 5. 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
HOW TO USE TROUBLESHOOTING/ INSPECTION
SERVICE POINTS
).
NO:
Replace the A/C-ECU. On completion, check that the DTC is not
reset.
SYMPTOM CHART
CAUTION: During diagnosis, a DTC code associated with other
system may be set when the ignition switch is turned
on with connector(s) disconnected. On completion,
confirm all systems for DTC code(s). If DTC code(s)
are set, erase them all.

Q: Is the wiring harness between outside/inside air selection damper
control motor connector C-106 (terminal 1) and the ignition switch (IG2)
in good condition?
YES:
It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. Refer to
NOTE: Also check joint connector C-103, junction block
connectors C-211 and C-215 for loose, corroded, or
damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the
connector. If intermediate connector C-103, junction
block connector C-211 or C-215 is damaged, repair or
replace the connector as described in HARNESS
