STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus
line.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool (MUT-III), always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool (MUT-III).
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(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?

NO : Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C,

Diagnosis

P.54C-14

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, read the powertrain
control module diagnostic trouble code.
Check whether any engine or automatic transmission DTCs are
set or not.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check for engine and automatic transmission DTCs.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Refer to GROUP 13A, Diagnostic Trouble Code

STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, check for any
diagnostic trouble code.
Check if a DTC, which relates to CAN communication-linked
systems below, is set.

• Combination meter

DTC indicating a time-out error related to the engine or
automatic transmission control system

• ETACS

DTC indicating a time-out error related to the engine or
automatic transmission control system

• Multi-center display unit (middle grade type)

DTC indicating a time-out error related to the engine or
automatic transmission control system

(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check for a DTC related to the relevant system.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check if the DTC is set.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : Replace the powertrain control module. On

completion, check that the DTC is not reset.

NO : There is an intermittent malfunction such as poor

engaged connector(s) or open circuit (Refer to
GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection
Service Points

− How to Cope with Intermittent

STEP 5. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check if the DTC is set.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

During diagnosis, a DTC code associated with
other system may be set when the ignition switch
is turned on with connector(s) disconnected. On
completion of repairs, confirm all systems for
DTC code(s). If DTC code(s) are set, erase them
all.
