MB992006: Extra Fine Probe

STEP 1. Check the multivision display operation.
Check if the multivision display work normally and the sound is output.

Q: Is the check result normal?
- YES: Go to Step 2.
- NO: Troubleshoot the MMCS (Refer to TROUBLE SYMPTOM CHART ).
STEP 2. Check the multivision display operation.
Display the A/V Mode screen, and check that the "USB/iPod" item is displayed.

Q: Is the check result normal?
- YES: Go to Step 8.
- NO: Go to Step 3.
STEP 3. Check USB box connector C-54 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: IS hands USB box connector C-54 in good condition?
- YES: Go to Step 4.
- NO: Repair the defective connector.
STEP 4. Check the power supply circuit to the USB box. Measure the voltage at USB box connector C-54.
1. Disconnect USB box connector C-54, and measure the voltage available at the wiring harness side of the connector.
2. Measure the voltage between terminal 1 and ground.
  OK: The voltage should measure approximately 12 volts (battery positive voltage).

Q: Is the measured voltage approximately 12 volts (battery positive voltage)?
- YES: Go to Step 6.
- NO: Go to Step 5.
STEP 5. Check the wiring harness between USB box connector C-54 (terminal 1) and fusible link (36).
- Check the power supply lines (battery power supply) for open circuit and short circuit.
NOTE: Also check ETACS-ECU connector C-307, C-317 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If ETACS-ECU connector C-307, C-317 is damaged, repair or replace the connector as described in HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECTION . .

Q: Is the wiring harness between hands-free module connector C-54 (terminal 1) and fusible link (36) in good condition?
- YES: The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONS ).
- NO: The wiring harness may be damaged or the connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. Repair the wiring harness as necessary.
STEP 6. Check the ground circuit to the USB box. Measure the resistance at hands USB box connector C-54.
1. Disconnect USB box connector C-54, and measure at the wiring harness side.
2. Measure resistance between terminal 17 and ground.
  OK: The resistance should be 2 ohms or less.

Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?
- YES: Go to Step 8.
- NO: Go to Step 7.
STEP 7. Check the wiring harness between USB box connector C-54 (terminal 17) and ground.
- Check the body ground wires for open circuit.
Q: Is the wiring harness between USB box connector C-54 (terminal 17) and ground in good condition?
- YES: The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONS ).
- NO: The wiring harness may be damaged or the connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. Repair the wiring harness as necessary.
STEP 8. Check multivision display connector C-09, C-10 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is multivision display connector C-09, C-10 in good condition?
- YES: Go to Step 9.
- NO: Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer to HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECTION . .
STEP 9. Check the wiring harness between multivision display connector C-10 (terminal 51, 35) and USB box connector C-54 (terminal 8, 22).
- Check the communication line for open circuit and short circuit.
NOTE: Also check intermediate connector C-110 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If intermediate connector C-110 is damaged, repair or replace the connector as described in HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECTION . .

Q: Is the wiring harness between multivision display connector C-10 (terminal 51, 25) and USB box connector C-54 (terminal 8, 22) in good condition?
- YES: Go to Step 10.
- NO: The wiring harness may be damaged or the connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. Repair the wiring harness as necessary.
STEP 10. Check the wiring harness between multivision display connector C-09 (terminal 74, 73, 72) and USB box connector C-54 (terminal 16, 2, 15).
- Check the communication line for open circuit and short circuit.
NOTE: Also check intermediate connector C-110 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If intermediate connector C-110 is damaged, repair or replace the connector as described in HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECTION . .

Q: Is the wiring harness between multivision display connector C-09 (terminal 74, 73, 72) and USB box connector C-54 (terminal 16, 2, 15) in good condition?
