DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tools:
- MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: Vehicles Communication Interface (V.C.I.)
- MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable
- MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness
STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus line.

NO : The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to general (Body and Chassis) How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction).
STEP 4. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set to the KOS-ECU.
1. Erase the DTC.
2. Turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" (OFF) position to "ON" position.
3. Check if DTC is set.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

1. Turn the ignition switch from the "LOCK" (OFF) position to the "ON" position.
2. Check if the DTC is set.
Q:Is the DTC set?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : The procedure is complete.
STEP 6. Register the key ID and recheck the diagnostic trouble code.
Register the key ID and keyless operation key ID of the keyless operation key by which the DTC is set, and recheck if the DTC is set.
1. Turn the ignition switch from the "LOCK" (OFF) position to the "ON" position.
2. Check if the DTC is set.
Q:Is the DTC set?
YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : The procedure is complete.
STEP 7. Replace the keyless operation key and recheck the diagnostic trouble code.
Replace the keyless operation key for which the DTC is set with a new one, register the key ID and keyless operation key ID, and check whether the DTC is reset.
1. Turn the ignition switch from the "LOCK" (OFF) position to the "ON" position.
2. Check if the DTC is set.
Q:Is the DTC set?
YES : Replace KOS-ECU and register the ID codes.
NO : The procedure is complete.
