TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If there is a problem on the picture display of RV 
meter even though the function of A/C operates nor-
mally, it may be an abnormality on the M-BUS com-
munication line. When there is a problem on the 
function itself, the abnormality of A/C-ECU is consid-
ered to be the cause. 

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malfunction of the RV meter

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991223: Harness Set

• MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

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

• MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable

• MB991911: MUT-III Main Harness B

STEP 1. Check the communication and connection of the 
service function (M-BUS).
(1) Press the adjusting switch with the ignition switch at the 

"LOCK" (OFF) position. Then while keeping the switch on 
the pressed condition, turn the ignition switch to " ACC" 
position.

(2) When the adjusting switch is continuously pressed for more 

than five seconds, the reception sound (pip sound) is heard 
and at the same time the service function is activated to 
display the service mode screen.

(3) Check the communication and connection 

P.54A-238

.

Q: Which of the following M-BUS is indicated? 

" E1 " (Communication error)  : Go to Step 2.
" E2 " (Open circuit or not connected)  : Go to Step 3.
OK :  Go to Step 4.

STEP 2. Check the RV meter and A/C-ECU circuit by 
backprobing. 
(1) Do not disconnect RV meter connector D-08.
(2) ignition switch "ACC" position.
(3) Measure the voltage (waveform) between terminal 9 and 

ground using an oscilloscope by backprobing.

(4) Measure the voltage (waveform) between terminal 10 and 

ground by backprobing.

(5) Measure the voltage (waveform) between terminal 19 and 

ground by backprobing.

Q: Is the measured voltage Hi = 4 to 5 volts and Lo = 0 to 1 

volt? 
YES : Replace the RV meter display.
No :  Go to Step 5.

STEP 3. Check the harness wires between RV meter 
connector D-08 (terminal 9 and 10 and 19) and A/C-ECU 
connector D-23 (terminal 16 and 17 and 6).

Q: Are harness wires between RV meter connector D-08 

(terminal 9 and 10 and 19) and A/C-ECU connector D-23 
(terminal 16 and 17 and 6) in good condition?
YES : There is no action to be taken.
NO :  Repair or replace them. Refer to GROUP 00E, 

Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

.

STEP 4. Using scan tool MB991958, read the A/C 
diagnostic trouble code.

CAUTION

To Prevent to damage to scan toll MB991958, always turn 
the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch "ON" position.
(3) Read the A/C diagnostic trouble code.
Q: Is the A/C diagnostic trouble code set? 

YES : Carry out troubleshooting of the A/C.
NO :  There is no action to be taken.

STEP 5. Check the A/C-ECU by backprobing.

(1) Do not disconnect A/C-ECU connector D-23.
(2) ignition switch "ACC" position.
(3) Measure the voltage (waveform) between terminal 6 and 

ground using an oscilloscope by backprobing.

(4) Measure the voltage (waveform) between terminal 16 and

(5) Measure the voltage (waveform) between terminal 17 and 

ground by backprobing.

Q: Is the measured voltage Hi = 4 to 5 volts and Lo = 0 to 1 

volt?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Replace the A/C-ECU.

STEP 6. Recheck for malfunction.
Q: Is a malfunction eliminated?

YES : If no malfunctions are not found in all steps, an
