INSPECTION PROCEDURE A-2: Communication with the Column Switch (column-ECU) is not
Possible.
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
The power supply to the column switch is pro-
vided by the battery and the ignition switch (IG1).
If the power supply system from the battery is
defective, the system operates by the power sup-
ply from the ignition switch (IG1).
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
The power supply circuit to the column switch (col-
umn-ECU) may be defective. If the battery power
supply circuit (terminal 1 of the column switch) to the
ECU is damaged, also check the power supply circuit
from the ignition switch (IG1) (terminal 9 of the col-
umn switch), and repair if necessary.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
The wiring harness or connectors may have
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector
The column switch may be defective
The ETACS-ECU may be defective

Column-ECU
To prevent damage to diagnostic tool MB991958, always
turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position
before connecting or disconnecting diagnostic tool
MB991958. Connect special tool MB991910 before con-
necting special tool MB991812. Be sure to connect special
tool MB991806 after turning on special tool MB991824.
