DIAGNOSTIC ITEM 10: Diagnose CAN bus lines thoroughly [Vehicles with multi-center display (Mitsubishi Multi Communication system)]

CAUTION:
When servicing a CAN bus line, ground yourself by touching a metal object such as an unpainted water pipe. If you fail to do so, a component connected to the CAN bus line may be damaged.

For details refer to Precautions When CAN Bus Line(s) Are Repaired.

Q. Is intermediate connector C-29 in good condition?

YES Go to Step 4.

NO Repair the damaged parts.

STEP 4. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus line (Disconnect intermediate connector C-29, and then determine that a failure is present at either the front wiring harness side or the instrument panel wiring harness side).





(1)Disconnect intermediate connector C-29.





(2)
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 scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(3)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.





(4)Diagnose CAN bus lines, and check if the M.U.T.-III screen is as shown in the illustration.
(5)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(6)Connect intermediate connector C-29.

Q. Does the M.U.T.-III screen correspond to the illustration?

YES If the M.U.T.-III screen corresponds to the illustration, go to STEP 27.

NO If the M.U.T.-III screen does not correspond to the illustration, go to Step 5
.

STEP 5. Check joint connector (3) C-02 and combination meter connector C-101 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.





CAUTION:
The strand end of the twisted wire should be within 10 cm (4 inches) from the connector.
For details refer to Precautions When CAN Bus Line(s) Are Repaired.





Check the joint connector at the wiring harness side for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector, and also check the short pin behind the connector for corrosion, deformation and delamination.

Q. Is joint connector (3) C-02 in good condition?

YES Go to Step 6.

NO Repair the damaged parts. Replace the joint connector as necessary.

STEP 6. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus line (Disconnect combination meter connector C-101, and check the combination meter system).





(1)Disconnect combination meter connector C-101.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.





(3)Diagnose CAN bus lines, and check if the M.U.T.-III screen is as shown in the illustration.

(1)Disconnect joint connector (3) C-02 and combination meter connector C-101, and measure the resistance between each wiring harness side connector.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(3)
CAUTION:
Disconnect the negative battery terminal. For details refer to Precautions When CAN Bus Line(s) Are Repaired.

Disconnect the negative battery terminal.





(4)Measure the resistance between joint connector (3) terminal 15 and combination meter connector terminal 15.
OK: 2 ohms or less






(5)Measure the resistance between joint connector (3) terminal 4 and combination meter connector terminal 14.

CAUTION:
Strictly observe the specified wiring harness repair procedure.
For details refer to Precautions on How to Repair the CAN Bus Line(s).

Q. Do all the resistances measure 2 ohms or less?

YES If all the resistances measure 2 ohms or less, power supply to the combination meter may be suspected. Diagnose the combination meter by referring to Combination meter assembly Inspection Procedure 1.

NO If either of the resistances measures more than 2 ohms or all the resistances measure more than 2 ohms, repair the wiring harness between joint connector (3) and the combination meter connector.

STEP 8. Check ETACS-ECU connector C-218 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
