STEP 3. Using diagnostic tool MB991958, read the for any 
diagnostic trouble code. 
Check if a DTC, which relates to CAN communication-linked 
systems below, is set.

• Combination meter

A/C-related time-out DTC

• Multi center display  <Vehicles with multi center display >

A/C-related time-out DTC

(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check for a DTC related to the relevant system.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Go to Step 5.

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

Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Replace the A/C-ECU. On completion, verify that the 

DTC is not reset.

NO :  A poor connection, open circuit or other intermittent 

malfunction is present in the CAN bus lines between 
the A/C-ECU and the ETACS-ECU (Refer to GROUP 
00, How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction 

P.00-14

).

STEP 5. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check if the DTC is set.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Replace the ETACS-ECU. On completion, verify that 

the DTC is not reset.

NO :  A poor connection, open circuit or other intermittent 

malfunction is present in the CAN bus lines between 
the A/C-ECU and the ETACS-ECU (Refer to GROUP 
00, How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction 

P.00-14

).

 DTC 014  (U1108): Combination Meter Time-out.

CAUTION

If  DTC (U1108) is set in the ETACS-ECU, always 
diagnose the CAN main bus line.

CAUTION

Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the 
communication circuit is normal.

.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

The ETACS-ECU receives combination 
meter-related signal from the combination meter. If 
the ECU cannot receive the signal,  DTC 014 
(U1108) will be set.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

Current trouble

• Connector(s) or wiring harness in the CAN bus 

lines between the combination meter and the 
ETACS-ECU, the power supply system to the 
combination meter, the combination meter itself, 
or the ETACS-ECU may be defective.

• Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-

90

• Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-

80

Past trouble

• If  DTC 014  (U1108) is stored as a past trouble, 

carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis on 
wiring and connector(s) in the CAN bus line 
between the combination meter and the 
ETACS-ECU, and the power supply system to the 
combination meter. For diagnosis procedures, 
refer to "How to cope with past trouble" (Refer to 
GROUP 00, How to treat past trouble 

P.00-16

).

NOTE: You cannot find a past trouble, by the 
MUT-III CAN bus diagnostics even if there is a 
failure in CAN bus lines. In this case, refer to 
GROUP 00, How to Cope with Intermittent Mal-
function 

P.00-14

 and check the CAN bus lines. 

You can narrow down the possible cause of the 
trouble by referring to the DTC, which is set 
regarding the CAN communication-linked ECUs 
(Refer to GROUP 54C, CAN Bus Line Diagnosis 

P.54C-6

).

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• The wiring harness or connectors may have 

loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector

• Malfunction of the combination meter

• The ETACS-ECU may be defective

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991223: Harness Set

• MB991958: DIAGNOSTIC TOOL (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)

• MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable

• MB991910: MUT-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using diagnostic tool MB991958, diagnose the 
CAN bus line.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to diagnostic tool MB991958, always 
turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position 
before connecting or disconnecting diagnostic tool 
MB991958.
(1) Connect diagnostic tool MB991958. Refer to "How to 

connect SWS monitor 

P.54B-13

."

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Diagnose the CAN bus line.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C, 

Diagnosis 

P.54C-15

).
