CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN)

54C-95

.

FUNCTION

If the scan tool MB991958 cannot communicate with 
the steering wheel sensor, this diagnosis result will 
be set.

.

TROUBLE JUDGEMENT CONDITIONS

If a communication flag is not set for the steering 
wheel sensor, the ETACS-ECU determines that there 
is a failure.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malfunction of the connector [joint connector 

(CAN2) or steering wheel sensor connector 
improperly connected]

• Malfunction of the wiring harness [open circuit 

between the steering wheel sensor and the joint 
connector (CAN2), power supply circuit to the 
steering wheel sensor]

• Malfunction of the steering wheel sensor

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991223: Harness Set

• MB992006: Extra Fine Probe

STEP 1. Check joint connector (CAN2) C-104 and steering 
wheel sensor connector C-209 for loose, corroded or 
damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the 
connector.

CAUTION

The strand end of the twisted wire should be within 10 cm 
(4 inches) from the connector. For details refer to 

P.54C-7

.

Q: Are joint connector (CAN2) C-104 and steering wheel 

sensor connector C-209 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Repair the damaged parts.

STEP 2. Check the wiring harness between joint connector 
(CAN2) C-104 and steering wheel sensor connector C-209 
for open circuit.

CAUTION

Strictly observe the specified wiring harness repair proce-
dure. For details refer to 

P.54C-7

.

(1) Disconnect joint connector (CAN2) C-104 and steering 

wheel sensor connector C-209, and check the wiring 
harness.

(2) Check the wiring harness between joint connector (CAN2) 

C-104 (terminal 7) and steering wheel sensor connector 
C-209 (terminal 3)

OK: Continuity exists (2 

Ω or less)

(3) Check the wiring harness between joint connector (CAN2) 

C-104 (terminal 20) and steering wheel sensor connector 
C-209 (terminal 4)

OK: Continuity exists (2 

Ω or less)

Q: Is the wiring harness between joint connector (CAN2) 

C-104 and steering wheel sensor connector C-209 in 
good condition?
YES : Check the power supply circuit of the steering wheel 

sensor. Refer to GROUP 35C, Troubleshooting 

P.35C-187

.

NO :  Repair the wiring harness between joint connector 

(CAN2) C-104 and steering wheel sensor connector 
C-209.

DIAGNOSTIC ITEM 8: Diagnose when the scan tool cannot receive the data sent by shift lever. 

<TC-SST>

CAUTION

When servicing a CAN bus line, ground yourself by touching a metal object such as an unpainted 

water pipe. If you fail to do so, a component connected to the CAN bus line may be damaged.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991223: Harness Set

• MB992006: Extra Fine Probe

STEP 1. Check joint connector (CAN3) C-127 and shift 
lever connector C-27 for loose, corroded or damaged 
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

CAUTION

The strand end of the twisted wire should be within 10 cm
