). Then go to Step 3.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Read the cruise control system DTC.
(1) Disconnect the negative (

−) battery terminal, to erase the 

DTC of the cruise control system.

(2) Connect the negative (

−) battery terminal.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position, and press the 

"ON/OFF" switch to turn the cruise control system to ON 
(turn on the "CRUISE" indicator light).

− ID Code Registration 

Judgment Table 

P.42C-9

). Then go to Step 3.

NO :  It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent 

(Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunction

• Malfunction of the stoplight switch.

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU.

• Malfunction of the ECM.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

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

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable

• MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

• MB991223: Harness Set

• MB992006: Extra Fine Probe

CAUTION

• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incor-

rect DTC may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose 
the CAN bus lines.

• Whenever the ECM is replaced, ensure that the CAN 

bus lines are normal.

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus 
line.
