HOW TO DIAGNOSE THE CAN BUS LINES

Required Special Tools:

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

• MB991824: Vehicles 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)

1. Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Select "CAN bus diagnosis" from the start-up screen.
4. When the vehicle information is displayed, confirm that it

matches the vehicle being diagnosed.

• If they match, go to Step 8.

• If not, go to Step 5.

5. Select the "view vehicle information" button.
6. Enter the vehicle information and select the "OK" button.
7. When the vehicle information is displayed, confirm again

that it matches the vehicle being diagnosed.

• If they match, go to Step 8.

• If not, go to Step 5.

8. Select the "OK" button.
9. When the optional equipment screen is displayed, choose

the one which the vehicle is fitted with, and then select the
"OK" button.

CHECK OF FREEZE FRAME DATA

The freeze frame data can be checked by using scan
tool MB991958.

When detecting fault and storing the diagnostic trou-
ble code, the ECU connected to CAN bus line
obtains the data before the determination of the diag-
nostic trouble code and the data when the diagnostic
trouble code is determined, and then stores the ECU
status of that time. By analyzing each data from scan
tool MB991958, the troubleshooting can be per-
formed more efficiently. The displayed items are as
the table below.
