DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
M1543007000465
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
The multi-center display (middle grade type) moni-
tors its input/output signals (some signals all the time
and others under specified conditions). When an
irregular signal is initially monitored, the multi-center
display (middle grade type) decides that a malfunc-
tion has occurred and records the occurrence as a
diagnostic trouble code. There are 9 diagnostic
items. The diagnostic results can be read with a scan
tool MB991958 (MUT-III sub assembly). Diagnostic
trouble codes are kept in memory by direct battery
feed. The codes are retained in memory even if the
ignition switch is in the "LOCK" (OFF) position. Diag-
nostic trouble codes will, however, be erased when a
battery terminal or the multi-center display (middle
grade type) connector is disconnected. In addition,
the diagnostic trouble code can also be erased by
scan tool MB991958 (MUT-III sub assembly).
NOTE: If a connector or sensor is disconnected
when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position, a
diagnostic trouble code is stored in memory. In this
case, erase the DTC using the scan tool.
NOTE: The 9 diagnostic items are displayed in
numeric order.
