DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:
- MB991223: Harness Set
- MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: Vehicles communication interface
- MB991827: MUT-III USB cable
- MB991911: MUT-III Main harness B
- MB991813: SWS monitor kit
- MB991806: SWS monitor cartridge
- 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 ETACS-ECU.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958. Connect special tool MB991911 before connecting special tool MB991812. Be sure to connect special tool MB991806 after turning on special tool MB991824.







1. Connect the special tool. Refer to "How to connect SWS monitor." How to Connect SWS Monitor

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" menus.

Q: Is "OK" displayed on the "ETACS ECU" menu?

YES: Go to Step 2.

NO: Refer to Inspection Procedure A-3 "Communication with ETACS-ECU is impossible."







STEP 2. Check the input signal by using "DATA LIST" of the SWS monitor.
Check the input signals from the following switches:

1. Operate scan tool MB991958 according to the procedure below to display "ETACS ECU."
a. Select "SYSTEM SELECT."
b. Select "SWS."
c. Select "SWS MONITOR."
d. Select "DATA LIST."
e. Select "ETACS ECU."




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

Q: Does the scan tool display the items "IG SW (IG1)" and "FRONT DOOR SW" as normal condition?

Normal conditions are displayed for all the items: Go to Step 3.

The scan tool does not show the respective normal condition for item "IG SW (IG1)": Refer to Inspection Procedure O-2 "ETACS-ECU does not receive a signal from the ignition switch (IG1)."

The scan tool does not show the respective normal condition for item "FRONT DOOR SW": Refer to Inspection Procedure O-6 "ETACS-ECU does not receive a signal from the driver's or the front passenger's door switch."

STEP 3. Check the input signal (by using the Pulse check mode of the monitor). Check the following switches and input signals:
- Key reminder switch
- Liftgate latch switch or liftgate light switch
- Trunk lid latch switch or trunk light switch
- interior light loaded signal




1. Operate scan tool MB991958 according to the procedure below to display "Pulse check."
a. Select "Interactive Diagnosis."
b. Select "System select."
c. Select "SWS."
d. Select "Pulse Checking."




2. Check if scan tool MB991958 sounds or not.
