.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (THE MOST
LIKELY CAUSES FOR THIS CASE:)

• Damaged wiring harness or connector

• Parking brake switch defective

• Combination meter defective

.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

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

• MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable

• MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check combination
meter actuator test.

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 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Turn the parking brake switch and brake fluid level switch to

"OFF" position.

(4) Set scan tool MB991958 to the actuator test mode.

• Item 13: Indicator4: ON

• The brake warning light illuminates.

• Item 13: Indicator4: OFF

• The brake warning light goes out.

(5) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Replace the combination meter (Refer to GROUP

54A, Combination meter assembly

P.54A-118

).

STEP 2. Check the parking brake switch.
Refer to

P.36-10

.

Q: Is the parking brake switch normal?

STEP 3. Connector check: D-125 parking brake switch
connector, C-22 intermediate connector and C-03
combination meter connector
Q: Is the check result normal?

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

GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

). Then go to Step 6.

STEP 4. Check the wiring harness for an open circuit
between D-125 parking brake switch connector terminal
No.1 and C-03 combination meter connector terminal No.4.
(1) Disconnect D-125 parking brake switch connector from

C-03 combination meter connector, and measure at the
wiring harness side connector.

(2) Measure the resistance between D-125 parking brake

switch connector terminal No.1 and C-03 combination
meter connector terminal No.4.

OK: Continuity exists (2

Ω or less)

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : A open circuit may be present in the wiring harness

between D-125 parking brake switch connector
terminal No.1 and C-03 combination meter connector
terminal No.4. Repair the wiring harness if necessary,
and then go to Step 6.

STEP 5. Retest the system.
Q: Does the brake warning light illuminate when the

parking brake lever is pull?
YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent

(Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

− How to

Cope with Intermittent Malfunction

P.00-15

).

NO : Replace the combination meter (Refer to GROUP

54A, Combination meter assembly

P.54A-118

).

STEP 6. Retest the system.
Q: Does the brake warning light illuminate when the

parking brake lever is pulled?
YES : The procedure is complete.
NO : Return to Step 1.
