INSPECTION PROCEDURE K-6: Interior Light: The door ajar indicator lamps do not illuminate or go
out normally
NOTE: This troubleshooting procedure requires the
use of diagnostic tool MB991958 and SWS monitor
kit MB991813. For details on how to use the SWS
monitor, refer to "How to connect SWS monitor
P.54B-13."
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION

signals from the ETACS-ECU, and then controls the
door ajar indicator, based on these signals.
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the door ajar indicator does not illuminate, connec-
tor(s), wiring harness in the CAN bus lines, the door
switches, the ETACS-ECU, or the combination meter
may be defective.

Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
Trouble in input signal system
The wiring harness or connectors may have
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector
The combination meter may be defective
The ETACS-ECU may be defective
