TROUBLE JUDGMENT

When the left wiring harness of turn-signal light is 
short circuited, the ETACS-ECU sets DTC B16A3.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

When the short circuit is detected three times con-
secutively, the ETACS-ECU sets the DTC B16A3.

.

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 ETACS-ECU

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB992006: Extra fine probe

• MB991223: Harness set

• MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

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

• MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable

• MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A (Vehicles with 

CAN communication system)

STEP 1. Check headlight assembly (LH) connector A-40 
<front>, side turn-signal light (LH) connector A-12 <side>, 
rear combination light (LH) connector F-25 <rear> for 
loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals 
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Are headlight assembly (LH) connector A-40 <front>, 

side turn-signal light (LH) connector A-12 <side>, rear 
combination light (LH) connector F-25 <rear> in good 
condition?
YES : 
Go to Step 2.
NO  :  Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer 

to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

.

STEP 2. Check ETACS-ECU connectors C-304 and C-311 
for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals 
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Are ETACS-ECU connectors C-304 <front or side> and 

C-311 <rear> in good condition?
YES : 
Go to Step 3.
NO :  Replace the bulb(s) of the light that does not 

illuminate.

STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between headlight 
assembly (LH) connector A-40 (terminal 3) <front>, side 
turn-signal light (LH) connector A-12 (terminal 2) <side>, 
rear combination light (LH) connector F-25 (terminal 2) 
<rear> and ETACS-ECU connector C-304 (terminal 9) 
<front or side> or C-311 (terminal 18) <rear>.
NOTE: Also check intermediate connector D-17 for loose, cor-
roded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the 
connector. If intermediate connector D-17 is damaged, repair or 
replace the connector as described in GROUP 00E, Harness 
Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

.

• Check the communication line for open circuit.

Q: Are the wiring harness between headlight assembly 

(LH) connector A-40 (terminal 3) <front>, side 
turn-signal light (LH) connector A-12 (terminal 2) 
<side>, rear combination light (LH) connector F-25 
(terminal 2) <rear> and ETACS-ECU connector C-304 
(terminal 9) <front or side> or C-311 (terminal 18) <rear> 
in good condition?
YES : 
Go to Step 4.
NO :  The wiring harness may be damaged or the 

connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged 
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. 
Repair the wiring harness as necessary. Verify that 
the headlights illuminate normally.

STEP 4. Using scan tool MB991958, Check whether the 
diagnostic trouble code is reset.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
