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
- MB991910: MUT-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. Verify the trouble symptom.

Q: Can the encrypted code register mode be set?

YES: Refer to Inspection Procedure 0-9 "ETACS-ECU dose not receive a signal from the lock or unlock switch."

NO: Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the input signal (by using the pulse checking mode of the monitor).

Check the input signals from the following switches:
- Key reminder switch
- Hazard warning light switch

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.




1. Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
2. Operate the scan tool MB991958 as follows:
a. Select "SYSTEM SELECT."
b. Select "SWS."
c. Select "PULSE CHECK."

3. Verify the scan tool MB991958 sounds or not.




4. If the switches (see table), which are applicable for the input signal check, are operated.

Q: When the key reminder switch and the hazard warning light switch are operated, does scan tool MB991958 sound?

YES : Replace the ETACS-ECU. Verify that the encrypted code can be registered in the transmitter.
