Diagnostic By Diagnostic Test Mode II
DIAGNOSTIC BY DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE II (INCREASED SENSITIVITY)Required Special Tools:
- MB991958: Scan tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: V.C.I.
- MB991827: USB Cable
- MB991910: Main Harness A
CAUTION: To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
NOTE: When mode II is selected with MB991958, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (SERVICE ENGINE SOON or Check Engine Lamp) will light when the powertrain control module (PCM) first detects the trouble (Note that this is only for emission-related trouble). At the same time, the relevant diagnostic trouble codes will be registered. In respect to the comprehensive component electrical faults (opens/shorts), the time for the diagnostic trouble code to be registered after the fault occurrence is four seconds - one second. Therefore, the confirmation of the trouble symptom and the confirmation after completing repairs can be reduced. To return to the normal mode I after mode II has been selected once, the ignition switch must be turned "OFF" once or mode I must be reselected with the scan tool MB991958. The diagnostic trouble code, system readiness test status and freeze frame data, etc., will be erased when mode I is returned to, so record these before returning to mode I.
