COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
There may be a failure in the wiring harness from the satellite radio tuner to the radio and CD player [vehicles with radio and CD player] or multivision display [vehicles with MMCS], its respective connector(s), the satellite radio tuner, the CD changer [vehicles with radio and CD player] or the multivision display [vehicles with MMCS].

PROBABLE CAUSES
- The satellite radio tuner may be defective.
- The radio and CD player [vehicles with radio and CD player] or multivision display [vehicles with MMCS] may be defective.
- Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:
- MB991223: Harness Set
- MB992006: Extra Fine Probe
- MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)
- MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable
- MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. Check whether AM or FM broadcast frequency is received.

Check whether AM or FM broadcast frequency is received.

Q : Is AM or FM broadcast frequency received?

YES : Go to Step 2.

NO : Diagnose the radio [vehicles with radio and CD player] or the multivision display [vehicles with MMCS] (Refer to [vehicles with radio and CD player] Trouble Symptom Chart or [vehicles with MMCS]). Trouble Symptom Chart

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus line.






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.

1. Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect the Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III)." Scan Tool Connecting
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
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 [vehicles with radio and CD player] : Go to Step 3.

YES [vehicles with MMCS] : Go to Step 6.

NO [vehicles with radio and CD player or MMCS] : Repair the CAN bus line. (Refer to Controller Area Network, Diagnosis).

STEP 3. Check satellite radio tuner connector C-18 and radio and CD player connector C-109 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q : Is satellite radio tuner connector C-18 or radio and CD player connector C-109 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.

NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer to General (Electrical), Harness Connector Inspection.

STEP 4. Check the wiring harness between satellite radio tuner connector C-18 (terminal 6, 14, 7) and radio and CD player connector C-109 (terminal 15, 6, 5).

- Check the communication lines for open circuit or short circuit.

Q : Is the wiring harness between satellite radio tuner connector C-18 (terminal 6, 14, 7) and radio and CD player connector C-109 (terminal 15, 6, 5) in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 5.

NO : The wiring harness may be damaged or the connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. Repair the wiring harness as necessary.

STEP 5. Substitute a known good radio and CD player, and check the trouble symptom.

Check whether satellite radio broadcast can be received.

Q : Can a satellite radio be received?

YES : Replace the radio and CD player.

NO : Replace the satellite radio tuner.

STEP 6. Check satellite radio tuner connector C-18 and multivision display connector C-09 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q : Is satellite radio tuner connector C-18 or multivision display connector C-09 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 7.

NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer to General (Electrical), Harness Connector Inspection.

STEP 7. Check the wiring harness between satellite radio tuner connector C-18 (terminal 6, 14, 7) and multivision display connector C-09 (terminal 75, 77, 76).

- Check the communication lines for open circuit and short circuit.

NOTE: Also check intermediate connector C-110 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If intermediate connector C-110 is damaged, repair or replace the connector as described in General (Electrical), Harness Connector Inspection.

Q : Is the wiring harness between satellite radio tuner connector C-18 (terminal 6, 14, 7) and multivision display connector C-09 (terminal 75, 77, 76) in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 8.
