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

(1)

Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect the
Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III) P.42C-7."

(2)

Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3)

Diagnose the CAN bus line.

(4)

Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q:Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?

YES:

 Go to Step 2.

NO:

 Repair the CAN bus line. (Refer to GROUP 54D,

Diagnosis P.54D-17).

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

Q:Is the DTC set?

YES:

 Troubleshoot the ETACS-ECU. Refer to P.54Ad-8.

NO:

 Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set to the WCM.

(1)

Erase the DTC.

(2)

Turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" (OFF) position to "ON"
position.

(3)

Check if DTC is set.

(4)

Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q:Is the DTC set?

YES:

 Replace WCM and register the ID codes. (Refer to P.

42C-8.)

NO:

 The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer

to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection

WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE (WCM)

42C-63

DIAGNOSIS

Malfunction P.00-15).

Code No.U1417 Implausible coding data

｠

If diagnostic trouble code U1417 is set in WCM, always
diagnose the CAN bus lines. If there is any fault in the CAN
bus  lines,  an  incorrect  diagnostic  trouble  code  may  be
set.  In  this  case,  the  set  diagnostic  trouble  code  is  not
highly reliable.

｠

Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the communication
circuit is normal.

｠

When diagnostic trouble code U1417 is set in WCM, the
diagnostic trouble code may also be set in ETACS-ECU.
When the diagnostic trouble code is set in ETACS-ECU,
carry out the diagnosis of the diagnostic trouble code for
ETACS-ECU first.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
WCM receives the vehicle information stored in the ETACS-ECU
via CAN bus lines.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
WCM communicates with ETACS-ECU via CAN bus lines. This
diagnostic  trouble  code  is  set  when  the  vehicle  information
received from the ETACS-ECU is invalid.

PROBABLE CAUSES

｠

Malfunction of ETACS-ECU

｠

Engine control module malfunction

｠

ETACS-ECUs have been interchanged between two vehicles.

｠

WCM malfunction

｠

External noise interference

｠

WCMs have been interchanged between two vehicles.

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, read the other system
diagnostic trouble code.
Check  if  DTC  is  set  to  the  ETACS-ECU  or  engine  control
module.

Q:Is the DTC set?

YES (DTC is set to ETACS-ECU.):

 Troubleshoot the ETACS.

(Refer to GROUP 54Ad, Diagnosis P.54Ad-8.)

YES (DTC is set to the engine control module.):

Troubleshoot the MFI system. (Refer to GROUP 13Ab,
Diagnosis P.13Ab-44.)

NO:
