To prevent damage to diagnostic tool MB991958, always
turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position
before connecting or disconnecting diagnostic tool
MB991958.
1. Connect diagnostic tool MB991958 to the data link
connector. (Refer to P.13C-3).
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
The engine speed increases after the actuator test
because the actuator test continues for only three sec-
onds. Therefore, release the accelerator pedal immedi-
ately.
3. Use diagnostic tool MB991958 to check the actuator test.
(Refer to P.13C-3).
Item 09: Engine TCL Drive.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed at the same
time that the button for actuator test item 09 displayed
on diagnostic tool MB991958 is pressed, the system
prevents the engine speed from rising for three sec-
onds.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
5. Disconnect diagnostic tool MB991958.
