DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:

• MB991958: Diagnostic Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable

• MB991910: MUT-III Main harness A

STEP 1. Check the transmission inhibitor switch.
Measure the resistance between the terminals for each trans-
mission range as indicated in the table below.

Q: Does the resistance measure less than 2 ohms for each

selector position?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Replace the transmission inhibitor switch. Refer to

GROUP 23B, Transmission

STEP 2. Check transmission inhibitor switch connector
B-110 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or
terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Are the connector and terminals in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged components. Refer to

GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

.

STEP 3. Check A/T-ECU connector B-22 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Are the connector and terminals in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged components. Refer to

STEP 4. Measure the transmission inhibitor switch output
voltage at A/T-ECU connector B-22 by using check
harness special tool MB992045. ("P" position)
(1) Disconnect all the connectors from the A/T-ECU.

(2) Connect special tool MB992045 (check harness) between

the A/T-ECU and the body-side harness connector.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(4) Measure the voltage between terminal 25 and ground.

• When transmission range is "P," voltage should equal

battery positive voltage.

• When transmission range is "R," voltage should mea-

sure 0.5 volt or less.

• When transmission range is "N," voltage should mea-

sure 0.5 volt or less.

• When transmission range is "D," voltage should mea-

sure 0.5 volt or less.

• When transmission range is sport mode, voltage should

measure 0.5 volt or less.

Q: Is the measured voltage within the specified range?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check harness for damage between A/T-ECU
connector B-22 terminal 25 and transmission inhibitor
switch connector B-110 terminal 3.
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 14.
NO : Repair or replace the harness wire.
