2. The multi-centre display performs check and displays the 

check result. Operate the lighting switch or the ignition 
switch. Check whether the multi-centre display screen 
corresponds to that operation. 

CAUTION

The "Compass check" mode  will be displayed on the 
multi-centre display but will not be accessible due to not 
being available on vehicle.

Auto check

1. Activate the service mode start-up screen.
2. Turn the ignition switch to  "ON" position.

.  3. Choose "Auto check" by pressing function button switch 2.

4. Execute "ENTER" by pressing the function button switch 3.
5. The multi-centre display unit checks the communication 

condition, and then shows the check results of 
"Communication check", "Monitor check"  and "Vehicle 
check". Then the multi-centre display ceases CAN 
communication in approximately seven seconds.

.

Release of service mode

Move from the check result screen to the service mode start-up

Fail-safe function of the multi-centre display unit

If abnormal power supply voltage or abnormally high tempera-
ture is detected in the multi-centre display unit, a fail-safe func-
tion will be activated to protect the unit, and then blank the 
screen.

Fail-safe function is activated when:
Power supply voltage is abnormal

• Excessively low voltage: Power supply voltage remains 

9 volts or less for approximately 10 seconds.

• Excessively high voltage: Power supply voltage remains 

17 volts or more for approximately 10 seconds.

Abnormally high temperature is detected in the unit.

• Internal temperature remains 95°C for 60 seconds.

If an abnormal voltage or temperature is detected, the 
multi-centre display unit will sound its buzzer to indicate this 
and activate a message to blank the screen in approximately 
seven seconds.

NOTE: The unit blanks the screen immediately when the power 
supply voltage reaches 18 volts.

Fail-safe function is deactivated when:
Power supply voltage is abnormal

• The fail-safe function will be deactivated if the power 

supply voltage remains 10 volts or more for approxi-
mately five seconds, or the ignition switch is turned to 
the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

• The fail-safe function will be deactivated if the power 

supply voltage remains 17 volts or less for approxi-
mately five seconds or more, or the ignition switch is 
turned to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Abnormally high temperature is detected in the unit.

• The fail-safe function will be deactivated if its internal 

temperature has reduced to 85

°C  or less, or the ignition 

switch is turned to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

M1543007000465

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS

The multi-centre display monitors its input/output sig-
nals (some signals all the time and others under 
specified conditions). When an irregular signal is ini-
tially monitored, the multi-centre display decides that 
a malfunction has occurred and records the occur-
rence as a diagnostic trouble code. There are 9 diag-
nostic items. The diagnostic results can be read with 
a diagnostic tool MB991958 (MUT-III sub assembly). 
Diagnostic trouble codes are kept in memory by 
direct battery feed. The codes are retained in mem-
ory even if the ignition switch is in the "LOCK" (OFF) 

position. Diagnostic trouble codes will, however, be 
erased when a battery terminal or the multi-centre 
display connector is disconnected. In addition, the 
diagnostic trouble code can also be erased by 
diagnostic tool MB991958 (MUT-III sub assembly).

NOTE: If a connector or sensor is disconnected 
when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position, a 
diagnostic trouble code is stored in memory. In this 
case, erase the DTC using the diagnostic tool.

NOTE: The 9 diagnostic items are displayed in 
numeric order.
