- MB991812: SWS monitor harness (for column-ECU)
- MB991922: Probe harness

STEP 1. Use scan tool MB991958 to select "ECU COMM Check" on the SWS monitor display.
Check the following ECUs:
- ETACS-ECU
- Sunroof motor assembly (sunroof-ECU)

1. Connect the special tool. Refer to "How to connect SWS monitor How to Connect SWS Monitor."
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
3. Operate scan tool MB991958 according to the procedure below to display "ECU COMM Check."
a. Select "Interactive Diagnosis."
b. Select "System Select."
c. Select "SWS."
d. Select "SWS MONITOR."
e. Select "ECU COMM Check."

4. Scan tool MB991958 should show "OK" on the "ECU COMM Check" menus for both the "ETACS ECU" and "SUNROOF ECU" menus.

Q: Are "OK" displayed on the "ETACS ECU" and "SUNROOF ECU" menu?

"OK" are displayed for all the items: Go to Step 2.

"NG" is displayed on the "ETACS ECU" menu: Refer to Inspection Procedure A-3 "Communication with ETACS-ECU is impossible."

"NG" is displayed on the "SUNROOF ECU" menu: Refer to Inspection Procedure A-5 "Communication with sunroof motor (sunroof-ECU) is impossible."

STEP 2. Check the input signal by using "FUNCTION DIAG." menu of the SWS monitor.

1. Operate scan tool MB991813 according to the procedure below to display "SUNROOF-OPE."
a. Select "Interactive Diagnosis."
b. Select "System select."
c. Select "SWS."
d. Select "SWS MONITOR."
e. Select "Function Diag."
f. Select "SUNROOF."
g. Select "SUNROOF-OPE."




2. Check that normal conditions are displayed on the items described in the given table.

Q: Are normal conditions displayed on the "IG SW (IG1)" and "S/R ECU ACK"?

Normal conditions displayed for all the items: Replace the sunroof motor assembly. Check that the sunroof timer function works normally.

Normal condition is not displayed on the "IG SW(IG1)": Refer to Inspection Procedure O-2 "ETACS-ECU does not receive a signal from the ignition switch (IG1)."

Normal condition is not displayed on the "S/R ECU ACK": Replace the sunroof motor assembly. Check that the sunroof timer function works normally.
