HOW TO READ AND ERASE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

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 (Vehicles with CAN communication system)

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: If the battery voltage is low, diagnostic trouble codes will not be set. Check the battery if scan tool MB991958 does not display.

1. Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

3. Select "System select" from the start-up screen.

4. Select "From 2006 MY" of "Model Year". When the "Vehicle Information" is displayed, check the contents.

5. Select "WCM" from "System List", and press the "OK" button.

NOTE: When the "Loading Option Setup" list is displayed, check the applicable item.

6. Select "Diagnostic Trouble Code". to read the DTC.

7. If a DTC is set, it is shown.

8. Choose "Erase DTCs" to erase the DTC.

CHECK OF FREEZE FRAME DATA

The freeze frame data can be checked by using the scan tool.

When detecting fault and storing the DTC, the ECU connected to CAN bus line obtains the data before the determination of the DTC and the data when the DTC is determined, and then stores the ECU status of that time. By analyzing each data from scan tool, the troubleshooting can be performed more efficiently.

The displayed items are as the table below.

DISPLAY ITEM LIST

NOTE: *: If a failure occurs to both the ABS-ECU and ETACS-ECU, 0000 mile or FFFF mile is displayed to the scan tool MB991958.

ID CODES REGISTRATION JUDGMENT TABLE

CAUTION Do not replace the engine control module (ECM) and WCM at the same time. When replacing several ECUs, always replace one ECU at a time, register the necessary IDs in it, and then replace the next ECU.

The transponder (a small transmitter) in the ignition key, WCM, and the ECM have their own ID codes stored in them. When the cases listed in the table below occur, the ID codes must be registered in the WCM or ECM again.

NOTE: Up to eight ignition keys (key ID and keyless entry secret code) can be stored in the memory of WCM.

NOTE: *: Key (the key that can be used to lock/unlock the door or glove box only)

NOTE: *1: When available, key registration should be done beginning with a key that has been registered.
