COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

If the activated theft alarm siren sounds even though 
no faulty operation is made, the theft alarm siren may 
not be able to receive the signal from the 
ETACS-ECU via the LIN cutoff control unit.
NOTE: The theft alarm siren may be sounding by 
false alarm. Investigate what kind of situation the 
theft alarm siren sounded under. Check if there was 
any condition that caused false alarm.

.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• theft alarm siren may be defective

• LIN cutoff control unit may be defective

• The ETACS-ECU may be defective

• The wiring harness or connectors may have 

loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• 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. Vehicle status check when theft alarm siren is 
sounding
(1) Since it is suspected that the theft alarm has sounded 

accidentally, investigate whether the vehicle is under the 
situation below. Repair if an abnormality is found.

• The windows and sunroof are open.

• Some moving accessories are fitted in the vehicle.

• The interior equipment has been modified before a mal-

function occurs.

(2) Set the sensitivity level of theft alarm sensor to Level 4 by 

using the customization function.

(3) Check if the theft alarm siren sounds during the status of 

"Ready to be triggered" even though no faulty operation is 
made.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 2
NO :  The diagnosis is complete.

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, read the ETACS-ECU 
diagnostic trouble code. 
Check if DTC is set to the ETACS-ECU.

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.
Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect scan 
tool (M.U.T.-III) 

P.54A-839

."

(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check whether the ETACS-ECU DTC is set.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Diagnose the ETACS-ECU (Refer to 

P.54A-733

).

NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. LIN cutoff control unit check
Check for continuity of the LIN cutoff control unit.(Refer to 

P.54A-879

.)

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Replace LIN cutoff control unit.

STEP 4. Check ETACS-ECU connector C-312, C-301 and 
LIN cutoff control unit C-40 for loose, corroded or 
damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the 
connector
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Repair the defective connector.

STEP 5. Check the Wiring harness between ETACS-ECU 
connector 301 (terminal No. 13) and LIN cutoff control unit
