• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991223: Harness Set

• MB992006: Extra Fine Probe

STEP 1. Check the combination meter.
Check whether the combination meter works normally.
Q: Does the combination meter operate normally?

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

P.54A-34

.)

STEP 2. Check steering wheel audio remote control switch
connector C-213 for loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is steering wheel audio remote control switch

connector C-213 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer

to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

.

STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between steering wheel
audio remote control switch connector C-213 (terminal 5)
and ground.

• Check the ground wire for open circuit .

Q: Is the wiring harness between steering wheel audio

remote control switch connector C-213 (terminal 5) and
ground in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : The wiring harness may be damaged or the

connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Repair the wiring harness as necessary.

STEP 4. Check clock spring connectors C-202 and C-204
for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Are clock spring connectors C-202 and C-204 in good

condition?
YES : Go to Step 5.

connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Repair the wiring harness as necessary.

STEP 7. Check combination meter connector C-03 for
loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is combination meter connector C-03 in good

condition?
YES : Go to Step 8.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer

to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

.

STEP 8. Check the wiring harness between combination
meter connector C-03 (terminal 23) and clock spring
connector C-204 (terminal 6).

• Check the power supply lines for open and short circuit.

Q: Is the wiring harness between combination meter

connector C-03 (terminal 23) and clock spring
connector C-204 (terminal 6) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 9.
NO : The wiring harness may be damaged or the

connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
