Diagnostics Item 20

DIAGNOSTIC ITEM 20: Diagnose when the scan tool cannot receive the data sent by radio and CD player or CD changer.

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.














FUNCTION

If the scan tool MB991958 cannot communicate with the radio and CD player or CD changer, this diagnosis result will be set.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT CONDITIONS

If a communication flag is not set for the radio and CD player or CD changer, the ETACS-ECU determines that there is a failure.
