DIAGNOSTIC ITEM 30: Diagnose When The Scan Tool (M.U.T.-IIISE) Cannot Receive The Data Sent By Combination Meter: Diagnosis

Required Special Tools: 

• MB991223: Harness Set
• MB992006: Extra Fine Probe

1. STEP 1. Connector check: joint connector (CAN5) and combination meter connector 
   CAUTION: The strand end of the twist wire should be within 10 cm (3.9 inches) from the connector. For details refer to TEST EQUIPMENT  .

   When checking the joint connector, ensure that its wiring harness side and its short pins are not damaged.

   Q: Is the check result normal? 

   YES:  Go to Step  2.

   NO:  Repair the defective connector. Replace the joint connector as necessary.

2. STEP 2. Resistance measurement at joint connector (CAN5) and combination meter connector. 
   CAUTION: A digital multimeter should be used. For details refer to TEST EQUIPMENT  .
   CAUTION: The test wiring harness should be used. For details refer to TEST EQUIPMENT  .
   1. Disconnect joint connector (CAN5) and the combination meter connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
   2. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
      CAUTION: When measuring the resistance, disconnect the negative battery terminal. For details refer to TEST EQUIPMENT  .
   3. Ensure that the negative battery terminal is disconnected.
   4. Continuity between joint connector (CAN5) terminal No. 10 and combination meter connector terminal No. 14

      OK: The resistance should be 2 ohms or less 

   5. Continuity between joint connector (CAN5) terminal No. 21 and combination meter connector terminal No. 15

      OK: The resistance should be 2 ohms or less 

   CAUTION: Strictly observe the specified wiring harness repair procedure. For details refer to TEST EQUIPMENT  .

   Q: Is the check result normal? 

   YES:  <All the resistances measure 2 ohms or less> Go to Step  3.

   NO:  <Either or all of the resistances measure more than 2 ohms> Repair the wiring harness between joint connector (CAN5) and the combination meter.

3. STEP 3. Resistance measurement at combination meter connector. 
   CAUTION: A digital multimeter should be used. For details refer to TEST EQUIPMENT  .
   1. Remove the combination meter, and measure at the equipment side.
   2. Resistance between combination meter connector terminal Nos.14 and 15

      OK: 120 ± 20 ohms 

   CAUTION: Strictly observe the specified wiring harness repair procedure. For details refer to TEST EQUIPMENT  .

   Q: Is the check result normal? 

   YES:  <Within 120 ± 20 ohms> Power supply to the combination meter may be suspected. Diagnose the combination meter. Refer to SYMPTOM CHART .

   NO:  <Not within 120 ± 20 ohms> Replace the combination meter.
