Without Steering Audio Remote Switch




INSPECTION PROCEDURE 2: Mode does not change even when the AWC switch is pressed [Vehicles without steering wheel audio remote control switch]

POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM CIRCUIT

Refer to C2100.

CAUTION:

- If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect trouble symptom may occur. Prior to this diagnosis, always diagnose the CAN bus lines.
- Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

AWC switch or AWC-ECU may have a problem.

PROBABLE CAUSES

- AWC switch malfunction
- Malfunction of the combination meter
- Damaged harness wires and connectors
- Malfunction of AWC-ECU

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Scan tool CAN bus diagnostics

Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q. Is the check result normal?

YES Go to Step 3.
NO Repair the CAN bus lines. CAN Bus Diagnostics Chart.) After repairing the CAN bus line, go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Retest the system.

Q. Is the check result normal?

YES Intermittent malfunction. How to Cope With Intermittent Malfunctions.)
NO Go to Step 3.
STEP 3. Scan tool service data

Item No. 90, 91: AWC switch (Refer to service data reference table Data List Reference Table.)

Q. Is the check result normal?

YES Go to Step 11.
