DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

MB992006: Extra fine probe
MB991223: Harness set

STEP 1. Rear dome light operation check.

Check that the rear dome light illuminates and extinguishes normally.

Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 4

Go to Step 2

STEP 2. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE), read the DTC.

(1)

caution

To prevent damage to scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE), always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE).

Connect scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE). Refer to "How to connect Scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE)

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

(3) Check whether the ETACS-ECU related DTC is set.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Is the DTC set?

Troubleshoot the ETACS-ECU (Refer to

Go to Step 3

STEP 3. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE), check data list.

Use the ETACS-ECU data list to check the signals related to the operation of front dome light.

Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Remove the ignition key from the ignition key cylinder.
Open each door.
