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

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.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect the 

Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III) 

P.54A-25

."

(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 54C, 

Diagnosis 

P.54C-14

).

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, read the occupant 
classification-ECU diagnostic trouble code.
Check if DTC is set to the occupant classification-ECU.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Troubleshoot the SRS (Refer to GROUP 52B, 

Diagnosis 

P.52B-297

).

NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set to the combination meter.
(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 the combination meter.
NO :  The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer 

to GROUP 00 

− How to use 

Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunction 

P.00-15

DTC U0164: A/C-ECU CAN timeout

CAUTION

• If DTC U0164 is set, be sure to diagnose the 

CAN bus line.

• When replacing the ECU, always check that 

the communication circuit is normal.

.

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

If the signal from A/C-ECU cannot be received, the 
combination meter sets DTC U0164.

.

JUDGEMENT CRITERIA

With the ignition switch in the ON position, system 
voltage between 10

−16 volts (data from 

ETACS-ECU), power supply fuse is OK, or odometer 
value is 80.5 km (50 miles) or more, and the commu-
nication with A/C-ECU cannot be established for 
2,500 ms or more, the combination meter determines 
that a problem has occurred.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• The CAN bus line may be defective.

• The A/C-ECU may be defective.

• The combination meter may be defective.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

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

• MB991824: Vehicles 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. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus 
line.

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.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect the 

Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III) 

P.54A-25

."

(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 54C, 

Diagnosis 

P.54C-14

).

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, read the A/C 
diagnostic trouble code.
Check if DTC is set to the A/C-ECU.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Troubleshoot the A/C (Refer to GROUP 55, Auto A/C 

Diagnosis 

P.55-9

).

NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set to the combination meter.
(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 the combination meter.
NO :  The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer

DTC U0168: KOS-ECU or WCM CAN timeout

CAUTION

• If DTC U0168 is set, be sure to diagnose the 

CAN bus line.

• When replacing the ECU, always check that 

the communication circuit is normal.

.

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

If the signal from KOS-ECU or WCM cannot be 
received, the combination meter sets DTC U0168.

.

JUDGEMENT CRITERIA

With the ignition switch in the ON position, system 
voltage between 10 

− 16 V (data from ETACS-ECU),  

power supply fuse is OK, or odometer value is 80.5 
km (50 miles) or more, and the communication with 
KOS-ECU or WCM cannot be established for 2,500 
ms or more, the combination meter determines that a 
problem has occurred.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malfunction of CAN bus line may be defective.

• Malfunction of the KOS-ECU may be defective.

• Malfunction of the WCM may be defective.

• Malfunction of combination meter may be defec-

tive.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

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