3. Diagnose the CAN bus line.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?

YES : Go to Step 3.

NO : Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to Controller Area Network (CAN), Diagnosis).

STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, read the ECM [M/T] or PCM [A/T] diagnostic trouble code.






Check whether engine and transaxle DTCs are set or not.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
2. Check for engine and transaxle DTCs.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Diagnose the ECM [M/T] or PCM [A/T] (Refer to MFI, Diagnosis <2.4 L> or MFI <3.8 L>).

NO : Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Using scan tool MB991958, read the combination meter diagnostic trouble code.






Check whether the combination meter-related DTC is set.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
2. Check whether the combination meter-related DTC is set.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Diagnose the combination meter (Refer to Chassis Electrical, Diagnostic trouble code chart). Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions

NO : Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check the input signal (by using the pulse check mode of the monitor).






Check the input signals from the parking brake switch.
- Check that scan tool MB991958 sounds when the parking brake lever is pulled.

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."

Q: Does scan tool MB991958 sound when the parking brake lever is pulled?
