to GROUP 55, Auto A/C Diagnosis 

P.55-9

).

NO <The diagnostic trouble code is not set.> : Go to 

Step 4.

STEP 4. Using scan tool MB991958, check actuator test.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Conduct the actuator test of the combination meter.

• Item 7: Indicator1

• Item 8: Indicator2

• Item 9: Indicator3

• Item 11: Shift indicator

• Item 13: Indicator4

• Perform the actuator test, and check that display 

lights or warning lights are illuminated normally, or 
multi information display is displayed normally.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Replace the combination meter.

STEP 5. Retest the system.
Check that display lights or warning lights are illuminated nor-
mally, or multi information display is displayed normally.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer 

to GROUP 00

Inspection Procedure 6: The multi information display screen cannot be changed with the operation 
of the multi information meter switch.

CAUTION

Before replacing the combination meter, be sure to check that the power supply circuit, ground cir-
cuit, and communication circuit are normal.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

When the signal from the meter information switch is 
received, the combination meter switches the multi 
information display screen. If the multi information 
display screen does not switch normally, the meter 
information switch, wiring harness, connector(s), or 
combination meter may have a problem.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• The multi information meter switch may be defec-

tive

• The combination meter may be defective

• The wiring harness or connectors may have 

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