Reading Diagnostic Trouble Codes

NOTE: This is the only information provided by the manufacturer for reading trouble codes for this system.

HOW TO READ AND ERASE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

Required Special Tool:
MB991502: Scan Tool (MUT-II)

CAUTION: To prevent damage to scan tool MB991502, always turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991502.

NOTE: If battery voltage is low, diagnostic trouble codes may not be output Be sure to check the battery and charging system before continuing.

NOTE: If battery cable is disconnected or if the engine control module (ECM) connector or powertrain control module (PCM) connector is disconnected, the diagnostic trouble codes will be erased. Do not disconnect the battery cable or ECM (or PCM) connector until the diagnostic trouble codes have been recorded.

NOTE: If a DTC is erased, its "freeze frame" data will be also erased and the readiness test status will be reset. If necessary, store the "freeze frame" data before erasing the DTC.

1. Connect scan tool MB991502 to the data link connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
3. Read the diagnostic trouble codes for MFI.
4. Refer to the DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART.
5. Turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position and then back to "ON" position again.
6. Erase the diagnostic trouble code(s) using MUT-II screen prompts.
7. Confirm that the diagnostic trouble code output is normal.
8. Turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position.
9. Disconnect scan tool MB991502 from the data link connector.

DIAGNOSTICS BY DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE II (INCREASED SENSITIVITY)

Required Special Tool:
MB991502: Scan Tool (MUT-II)

CAUTION: To prevent damage to scan tool MB991502, always turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991502.

NOTE: When mode II is selected with MUT-II, the Service Engine Soon/Malfunction Indicator Lamp will light when the engine control module (ECM) or powertrain control module (PCM) first detects the trouble (Note that this is only for emission related trouble). At the same time, the relevant diagnostic trouble codes will be registered. In respect to the comprehensive component electrical faults (opens/shorts), the time for the diagnostic trouble code to be registered after the fault occurrence is four seconds -> one second. Therefore, the confirmation of the trouble symptom and the confirmation after completing repairs can be reduced. To return to the normal mode I after mode II has been selected once, the ignition switch must be turned "OFF" once or mode I must be reselected with MUT-II The diagnostic trouble code, readiness test status and freeze frame data, etc., Will be erased when mode I is returned to, so record these if necessary.

1. Connect scan tool MB991502 to the data link connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
3. Change the diagnostic test mode of the engine control module to DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE II (INCREASED SENSITIVITY).
4. Road test the vehicle.
5. Read the diagnostic trouble code in the same manner as "READ OUT OF DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE" and repair the malfunctioning part.
6. Turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position.
7. Disconnect scan tool MB991502 from the data link connector.
