DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991223: Harness Set

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

• MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)

• MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable

• MB991911: MUT-III Main Harness B (Vehicles without

CAN communication system)

STEP 1. Communication check with other systems.
Q: Is communication with other systems possible using

scan tool MB991958?
YES : Go to Step 8.
NO : Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Measure the voltage at data link connector D-118.

(1) Disconnect data link connector D-118, and measure the

voltage at the harness side.

(2) Measure the voltage between terminal 16 and ground.

• The measured value should be approximately 12 volts

(battery positive voltage).

Q: Does the measured voltage correspond with this range?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check data link connector D-118 for damage.

Q: Is data link connector D-118 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair or replace the connector. Refer to GROUP

00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Scan

tool MB991958 should communicate with the vehicle
system.

STEP 4. Check the wiring harness between data link
connector D-118 (terminal 16) and the fusible link (2).

NOTE: Also check intermediate connector D-28 and junction
block connectors D-211 and D-210. If intermediate connector
D-28, junction block connectors D-211 or D-210 is damaged,
repair or replace the connector as described in GROUP 00E,

.

Q: Is the wiring harness between data link connector D-118

(terminal 16) and the fusible link (2) in good condition?
YES : Scan tool MB991958 should communicate with the

vehicle system.

NO : Repair the wiring harness. Scan tool MB991958

should communicate with the vehicle system.

STEP 5. Measure the resistance at data link connector
D-118.
(1) Disconnect data link connector D-118, and measure the

resistance at the wiring harness side.

(2) Measure the resistance value between terminal 4, 5 and

ground.

• 2 ohms or less

Q: Does the measured resistance value correspond with

this range?
YES : Replace scan tool MB991958. Scan tool MB991958

should communicate with the vehicle system.

NO : Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Check data link connector D-118 for damage.

Q: Is data link connector D-118 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Repair or replace the connector. Refer to GROUP

STEP 7. Check the wiring harness between data link
connector D-118 (terminal 4, 5) and ground.

Q: Is the wiring harness between data link connector D-118

(terminal 4, 5) and ground in good condition?
YES : Scan tool MB991958 should communicate with the
