Indicates the inspection procedures corresponding to
each symptoms classified in the Symptom Chart
(Refer to How to Use Inspection Procedures

P.00-9

).

8. SERVICE DATA REFERENCE TABLE

Inspection items and normal judgment values have
been provided in this chart as reference information.

9. ACTUATOR TEST TABLE

The Actuator Test item numbers, inspection items,
and judgment values have been provided in this
chart as reference information.

10. CHECK AT ECU TERMINALS

Terminal numbers for the ECU connectors, inspec-
tion items, and judgment values have been provided
in this chart as reference information.

11. INSPECTION PROCEDURE BY USING
AN OSCILLOSCOPE

When there are inspection procedures using an
oscilloscope, these are described here.

DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

M1001013400865

The diagnosis function retrieves diagnosis code and
service data by M.U.T.-III and enables the perform-
ance of the actuator test.

• DIAGNOSIS CODE

• Service data sent

• Actuator test

• Diagnosis deletion using M.U.T.-III

• Freeze frame data

• Status indication by diagnosis code

• ECU information display

NOTE: If a diagnosis code is set, the "status indica-
tion by diagnosis code" informs users whether a
mechanical problem currently exists (current trouble)
or whether it existed before but normal operation has
been restored (past trouble).

HOW TO READ DIAGNOSIS CODE

CAUTION

Before connecting or disconnecting the M.U.T.-
III, turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
position.

Connect the M.U.T.-III to the 16-pin diagnosis con-
nector, and read the diagnosis code.
NOTE: For details on how to use the M.U.T.-III, refer
to the "M.U.T.-III operation manual."
1. Ensure that the ignition switch is at the "LOCK"

(OFF) position.

2. Start up the personal computer.

3. Connect special tool M.U.T.-III USB cable

MB991827 to V.C.I. (MB991824) and the personal
computer.

4. Connect special tool M.U.T.-III main harness A

(MB991910) to the V.C.I.

5. Connect the M.U.T.-III main harness A to the

diagnosis connector of the vehicle.

6. Turn the V.C.I. power switch to the "ON" position.

NOTE: When the V.C.I. is energized, the V.C.I.
indicator lamp will be illuminated in a green col-
our.

7. Start the M.U.T.-III system on the personal

computer and turn the ignition switch to the "ON"
position.

8. Read the diagnosis code.

NOTE: When storing the diagnosis code as refer-
ence information, the freeze frame data obtains the
data when the diagnosis code is confirmed, and then
stores the ECU status of that time. By analysing
each data using M.U.T.-III, troubleshooting can be
carried out efficiently.
9. Disconnecting the M.U.T.-III is the reverse of the

connecting sequence, making sure that the
ignition switch is at the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

ERASING DIAGNOSIS CODE

CAUTION

Before connecting or disconnecting the M.U.T.-
III, turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
position.
Connect the M.U.T.-III to the diagnosis connector,
and erase the diagnosis code. The procedure is the
same as "How to Read Diagnosis Code ."

HOW TO USE THE INSPECTION
PROCEDURES

M1001013500345

The causes of many of the problems occurring in electric circuitry are generally the connectors, components,
the ECU, the wiring harnesses between connectors, in that order. These inspection procedures follow this
order. They first try to discover a problem with a connector or a defective component.

AC301964 AC

Relevant circuit(s) of the component which
the Code No. indicates are described.

CURRENT TROUBLE

Indicates that the status is "Active" and the trouble is
currently present. Carry out troubleshooting as
described in the applicable inspection procedure.

PAST TROUBLE

Indicates that the status is "Stored" and the trouble is
historic. Since the trouble may still be present, set
the vehicle to the diagnosis code detection condition
and check that the status changes to "Active". If the
status does not change from "Stored", observe the
applicable inspection procedure with particular
emphasis on connector(s) and wiring harness.

HARNESS CHECK

Check for an open or short circuit in the harness
between the terminals which are faulty according to
the connector measurements. Carry out this inspec-
tion while referring to the Electrical Wiring Manual.
Here, "Check the wiring harness between the power
supply and terminal xx" also includes checking for
blown fuse. For inspection service points when there
is a blown fuse, refer to "Inspection Service Points
for a Blown Fuse

."

MEASURES TO TAKE AFTER REPLAC-
ING THE ECU

If the trouble symptoms have not disappeared even
after replacing the ECU, repeat the inspection proce-
dure from the beginning.
