DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tools:
  • MB992744: Vehicle communication interface-Lite (V.C.I.-Lite)
  • MB992745: V.C.I.-Lite main harness A
  • MB992747: V.C.I.-Lite USB cable short
  • MB992748: V.C.I.-Lite USB cable long
  • MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
    • MB991824: Vehicles 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)
STEP 1. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III), check VIN Information.
cautionTo prevent damage to scan tool (M.U.T.-III), always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool (M.U.T.-III).
(1) Connect scan tool (M.U.T-III). Refer to HOW TO CONNECT THE SCAN TOOL (M.U.T.-III) .
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Set scan tool (M.U.T-III) to the coding mode for VIN Information.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Has VIN (current) been written?
Go to Step 2.
Write VIN. Then go to Step 2.
 
STEP 2. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III), read the OSS diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Read the OSS-DTC.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Is the OSS-DTC stored?
Refer to GROUP 42B, Diagnosis <OSS-ECU> - Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart <OSS-ECU> .
Go to Step 3.
 
STEP 3. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III), read the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) After the DTC has been deleted, read the DTC again.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Is DTC P0513 stored?
