caution If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C, Trouble code diagnosis ).

DTC SET CONDITION
WCM incorporates EEPROM (nonvolatile memory), and that EEPROM stores the TPMS, WCM and immobilizer information. When the data in EEPROM is failed, this code is set.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
The most likely causes for this DTC to set are:

  • Damaged wiring harness and connector
  • Malfunction of WCM

DIAGNOSIS
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

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
Use scan tool to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 2.
Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN Bus Diagnostics table ). On completion, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Diagnostic trouble code check
(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Check if the DTC is set.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is the DTC C1608 set?
Replace the WCM and register the ID codes (Refer to ). Then go to Step 3.
The procedure is complete.

STEP 3. Diagnostic trouble code check
(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Check if the DTC is set.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
