STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus
line.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect

scan too (M.U.T.-III)

P.54A-123

."

(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?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C,

Diagnosis

P.54C-17

).

STEP 4. Using scan tool MB991958, read the ETACS-ECU
diagnostic trouble code.
Check whether ETACS-ECU DTCs are set.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check for ETACS-ECU DTCs.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Diagnose the ETACS-ECU. Refer to ETACS,

Diagnosis

P.54A-732

.

NO : Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Using scan tool MB991958, read the MFI system
diagnostic trouble code.
Check whether engine control module DTCs are set or not.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check for engine control module DTCs.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Diagnose the MFI system. Refer to GROUP 13B,

Diagnosis

P.13B-50

.

NO : Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Check the parking brake switch.
Check the input signals from the parking brake switch.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check that the brake warning light on the combination

meter goes off when the parking brake lever is released.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Does the brake warning light go off?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Refer to GROUP 36, Diagnosis, Inspection Procedure

2

P.36-5

. Verify that the daytime running light function

does not work normally.

STEP 7. Check headlight assembly (DRL:LH) connector
A-64, headlight assembly (DRL:RH) A-63 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Is headlight assembly (DRL:LH) connector A-64,

headlight assembly (DRL:RH) A-63 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 8.
NO : Repair the damaged parts.

STEP 8. Check the ground circuit to the headlight
assembly (DRL:LH) or headlight assembly (DRL:RH).
Measure the resistance at headlight assembly (DRL:LH)
connector A-64 or headlight assembly (DRL:RH) connector
A-63.
(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring

harness side.

(2) Check the resistance between the headlight assembly

connector and ground.

• Resistance between A-64 headlight assembly (DRL:LH)

connector terminal No.4 and ground

• Resistance between A-63 headlight assembly (DRL:RH)

connector terminal No.4 and ground

OK: The resistance should be 2 ohm or less.

Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?

YES : Go to Step 10.
NO : Go to Step 9.

STEP 9. Check the wiring harness between headlight
assembly (DRL:LH) connector A-64 (terminal 4) or
headlight assembly (DRL:RH) connector A-63 (terminal 4)
and ground.

• Check the ground wires for open circuit.

Q: Is the wiring harness between headlight assembly
