DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1.M.U.T.-II/III data list.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to M.U.T.-II/III, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOOK" (OFF) position 
before connecting or disconnecting M.U.T.-II/III.

(1) Connect M.U.T.-II/III as shown in the illustration.

(2) Start the engine.
(3) Set M.U.T.-II/III to data reading mode for following 

item.

• Item 32: Longitudinal G-sensor

OK:
When vehicle is stationary (level): 2.4 

− 

2.6 V
When vehicle is being driven: 1.0 

− 4.0 V

Q: Is the longitudinal G-sensor input normal?

YES : 

This malfunction is intermittent. Refer to 

GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

− 

How to Cope With Intermittent Malfunction 

P.00-5

. 

NO : 

Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the power supply circuit. Voltage 
measurement at longitudinal G-sensor connector 
D-38.

(1) Disconnect connector D-38, and check at the 

harness side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 1 and 

earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 3.

NO : 

Go to Step 4.

STEP 3. Check the earth circuit. Resistance 
measurement  at longitudinal G-sensor 
connector D-38.

(1) Disconnect connector D-38, and check at the 

harness side.

(2) Measure the resistance between terminal 3 and 

earth.

OK: 2 ohms or less

Q: Is the resistance 2 ohms or less.

YES : 

Go to Step 8.

NO : 

Go to Step 6.

STEP 4. Check the following connectors.

•

Longitudinal G-sensor connector D-38

•

Junction block connectors C-211, C-214
Check the connectors for loose, corroded or dam-
aged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the con-
nector.

Q: Are the connectors and terminals in good 

condition?
YES : 

Go to Step 5.

NO : 

Repair it and then go to Step 11.

STEP 5. Check the following harness wire.

•

The wire between longitudinal G-sensor connector 

D-38 (terminal 1) and junction block connector 
C-211 (terminal 2)

Q: Is the harness wire damaged?

YES : 

Repair or replace it and then go to Step 11.

NO : 

Go to Step 11.

STEP 6. Check the following connectors.

•

Longitudinal G-sensor connector D-38

•

Intermediate connector C-124

•

ABS-ECU connector B-118
Check the connectors for loose, corroded or dam-
aged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the con-
nector.

Q: Are the connectors and terminals in good 

condition?
YES : 

Go to Step 7.

NO : 

Repair it and then go to Step 11.

STEP 7. Check the following harness wire.

•

The wire between longitudinal G-sensor connector 

D-38 (terminal 3) and ABS-ECU connector B-118 
(terminal 15)

Q: Is the harness wire damaged?

YES : 

Repair or replace it and then go to Step 11.

NO : 

Go to Step 11.

STEP 8. Check longitudinal G-sensor output 
voltage.

(1) Disconnect connector D-38, and then connect 

special tool harness set (MB991348) between 
terminals of the disconnected connectors.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 2 and 

earth.

OK: 
When the longitudinal G-sensor is placed 
on a level plane: 2.4 

− 2.6 volts

When the longitudinal G-sensor is placed 
with its label positioned as shown: 3.4 

− 

3.6 volts

Q: Is the longitudinal G-sensor output voltage 

normal?
YES : 

Go to Step 9.

NO : 

Replace the longitudinal G-sensor (Refer to
