TROUBLE JUDGMENT

When the right wiring harness of turn-signal light is 
short circuited, the ETACS-ECU sets DTC B16A5.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

When the short circuit is detected three times con-
secutively, the ETACS-ECU sets the DTC B16A5.

.

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 (RH) connector A-56, 
side turn-signal light (RH) connector A-60 <fender type>, 
door mirror assembly (RH) connector E-28 <door mirror 
type>, rear combination light (RH) connector D-09 for 
loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals 
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Are headlight assembly (RH) connector A-56, side 

turn-signal light (RH) connector A-60 <fender type>, 
door mirror assembly (RH) connector E-28 <door mirror 
type>, rear combination light (RH) connector D-09 in 
good condition?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO  :  Repair the damaged parts.

STEP 2. Check ETACS-ECU connectors C-304, C-311 and 
C-317 <door mirror type> for loose, corroded or damaged 
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Are ETACS-ECU connectors C-304, C-311 and C-317 

<door mirror type> in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair the damaged parts.

STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between headlight 
assembly (RH) connector A-56 (terminal No. 3), side 
turn-signal light (RH) connector A-60 (terminal No. 2) 
<fender>, door mirror assembly (RH) connector E-28 
(terminal No. 2) <door mirror type>, rear combination light 
(RH) connector D-09 (terminal No. 3) and ETACS-ECU 
connector C-304 (terminal No. 16), ETACS-ECU connector 
C-311 (terminal No. 19) or ETACS-ECU connector C-317 
(terminal No. 11).
Check the communication line for short circuit.
NOTE: Also check intermediate connector C-113 <door mirror 
type> for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals 
pushed back in the connector. If intermediate connector C-113 
<door mirror type> is damaged, repair or replace the connector 
as described in GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

.

Q: Are the wiring harness between headlight assembly 

(RH) connector A-56 (terminal No. 3), side turn-signal 
light (RH) connector A-60 (terminal No. 2) <fender>, 
door mirror assembly (RH) connector E-28 (terminal No. 
2) <door mirror type>, rear combination light (RH) 
connector D-09 (terminal No. 3) and ETACS-ECU 
connector C-304 (terminal No. 16), ETACS-ECU 
connector C-311 (terminal No. 19) or ETACS-ECU 
connector C-317 (terminal No. 11) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 4.
