• Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-

80

• The wiring harness or connectors may have 

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

• Injector failure.

• Open or shorted  injector circuit, harness dam-

age, or connector damage.

• Engine-ECU failed.

• Combination meter power and ground circuits 

may be defective.

• Trip computer/Combination meter malfunction.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• Diagnostic Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991910: Main Harness A

• MB991658: Test Harness
• MB992044: ENGINE ECU Check Harness

STEP 1. Check combination meter connector C-101 for 
loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals 
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is combination meter connector C-101 in good 

condition?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Repair or replace the component(s). Refer to GROUP 

00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. The  

combination meter works normally.

STEP 2. Measure at combination meter connector C-101 in 
order to power supply circuit to combination meter 
(battery power supply).
(1) Disconnect combination meter connector C-101, and 

measure at the wiring harness side.

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

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 1 and ground. 

• The voltage should measure approximately 12 volts 

(battery positive voltage).

Q: Is the measured voltage approximately 12 volts (battery 

positive voltage)?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between combination 
meter connector C-101 (terminal 1) and the fuse No.22.

NOTE: Also check intermediate connector C-29 for loose, cor-
roded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the 
connector. If intermediate connector C-29 is damaged, repair or 
replace. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. 

Q: Is the wiring harness between combination meter 

connector C-101 (terminal 1) and the fuse No.22 in good 
condition?
YES : Retest the system.
NO :  Repair the wiring harness. Check that the  

combination meter works normally.

STEP 4. Measure the voltage at combination meter 
connector C-101 in order to power supply circuit to 
combination meter (IG1 power supply).
(1) Disconnect combination meter connector C-101, and 

measure at the wiring harness side.

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

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 12 and ground. 

• The voltage should measure approximately 12 volts 

(battery positive voltage).

Q: Is the measured voltage approximately 12 volts (battery 

positive voltage)?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check the wiring harness between combination 
meter connector C-101 (terminal 12) and the ignition 
switch (IG1)

NOTE: Also check  junction block connector C-211 and C-215 
for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed 
back in the connector. If inspecting junction block connector 
C-211 or C-215 is damaged, repair or replace. Refer to 
GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. 

Q: Is the wiring harness between combination meter 

connector C-101 (terminal 12) and the ignition switch 
(IG1) in good condition?
YES : Retest the system.
NO :  Repair the wiring harness. Check that the 

combination meter works normally.

STEP 6. Measure the resistance at combination meter 
connector C-101 in order to the ground circuit to the 
combination meter.
(1) Disconnect combination meter connector C-101, and 

measure at the wiring harness side.

(2) Measure the resistance value between terminal 3, 5 and 

ground.

• The resistance should be 2 ohms or less.

Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?

YES : Go to Step 8.
NO :  Go to Step 7.

STEP 7. Check the wiring harness between combination 
meter connector C-101 (terminal 3 and 5) and ground.
Q: Is the wiring harness between combination meter 

connector C-101 (terminal 3 and 5) and ground in good 
condition?
YES :  Retest the system.
NO :  Repair the wiring harness. Check that the  

combination meter works normally.

STEP 8. Retest the system.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : Go to Step 9
NO :  Replace the combination meter.
