2. Connect SWS monitor kit MB991862 to the column switch connector.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
4. Operate scan tool MB991958 according to the procedure below to display "ECU COMM CHK."
1. Select "SYSTEM SELECT."
2. Select "SWS."
3. Select "SWS MONITOR."
4. Select "ECU COMM CHK."

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

Q: Is "OK" displayed on both 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 not possible."

"NG" is displayed on the "SUNROOF ECU" menu : Refer to Inspection Procedure A-5 "Communication with sunroof motor (sunroof-ECU) is not possible."

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







1. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position to check the input signals from the following switches.
2. Operate scan tool MB991958 according to the procedure below to display "SUNROOF-OPE."
1. Select "SYSTEM SELECT."
2. Select "SWS."
3. Select "SWS MONITOR."
4. Select "FUNCTION DIAG."
5. Select "SUNROOF."
6. Select "SUNROOF-OPE."




3. Check that normal conditions are displayed on the items described in the 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. Verify that the sunroof timer function works normally.

Normal condition is not displayed on the "IG SW(IG1)" : Refer to Inspection Procedure N-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. Verify that the sunroof timer function works normally.
