Inspection Procedure 2




Inspection Procedure 2: Vehicle power does not turn ON. (not possible with both of power supply mode ACC and ON)

CAUTION:
Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the power supply circuit, the ground circuit and the communication circuit are normal.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

When the vehicle power does not turn ON (not possible with both of power supply mode ACC and ON), the battery, CAN bus line, OSS-ECU, OSS-ECU power supply, or ground circuit may have a problem.
NOTE:
OSS-ECU can communicate with the scan tool MB991958 even when the engine switch is in the "OFF" position.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

- Malfunction of battery
- Damaged wiring harness and connectors
- Malfunction of engine switch (poor connector contact, poor engine switch contact)
- Malfunction of the CAN bus line
- Malfunction of OSS-ECU
- ETACS-ECU malfunction

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Battery check

Perform the battery test to check the battery status Battery Test).

Q. Is the check result normal?

YES Go to Step 2.

NO Replace the battery.

STEP 2. Check that the scan tool MB991958 communicates with this system.

Check that the communication with scan tool MB991958 is possible.
NOTE:
If ETACS-ECU is not active, OSS-ECU cannot communicate with the scan tool MB991958.

(1)Perform the ON/OFF operation of any of the door switches for several times, or open any of the doors.

(2)Check that OSS-ECU can communicate with the scan tool MB991958.

Q. Is the check result normal?

YES Go to Step 3.

NO Carry out the troubleshooting of "OSS-ECU power supply or ground circuit malfunction" (Refer to Inspection Procedure 1).

STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus line.

(1)
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to scan tool (MB991958), always turn the power supply mode of the engine switch to the OFF position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool (MB991958).

Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect scan tool (M.U.T.-III) Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes."

(2)After performing the forced power supply output (refer to Programming and Relearning)
"IG-ON".

(3)Diagnose the CAN bus line.

(4)Turn the power supply mode of the engine switch to OFF.

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

YES Go to Step 4.

NO Repair the CAN bus line CAN Bus Diagnostics Chart).

STEP 4. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic trouble code

(1)
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to scan tool (MB991958), always turn the power supply mode of the engine switch to the OFF position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool (MB991958).

Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect scan tool (M.U.T.-III) Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes."

(2)After performing the forced power supply output (refer to forced power supply output procedure Programming and Relearning) "IG-ON".

(3)Check if the DTC is set to OSS-ECU.

(4)Turn the power supply mode of the engine switch to OFF.

Q. Is the DTC set?

YES Diagnose the OSS-ECU. Refer to diagnostic trouble code chart Keyless Operation System (KOS).

NO Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Connector check: Engine switch connector

Q. Is the check result normal?

YES Go to Step 6.

NO Repair the damaged connector.

STEP 6. Engine switch check

(1)Remove the engine switch (Refer to Engine Switch Removal and Installation).

(2)Check continuity when the engine switch is operated to "Press" or "Release" position.





Q. Is the engine switch normal?

YES Go to Step 7.

NO Replace the engine switch.

STEP 7. Check of the troubles

Check that the vehicle power can be turned ON.

Q. Is the check result normal?

YES Intermittent malfunction is suspected How to Cope With Intermittent Malfunctions).

NO Carry out the troubleshooting relevant to the input signal of ETACS-ECU. Symptom Chart.) Then, go to Step 8.

STEP 8. Check of the troubles

Check that the vehicle power can be turned ON.

Q. Is the check result normal?

YES This diagnosis is complete.

NO Replace the OSS-ECU and register the VIN (Refer to Programming and Relearning).
