Inspection Procedure 1: A satellite radio cannot be received: Diagnosis

Required Special Tools: 

• MB991223: Harness Set
• MB992006: Extra Fine Probe
• MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
  • MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)
  • MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable
  • MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

1. STEP 1. Check whether AM or FM broadcast frequency is received. 

   Check whether AM or FM broadcast frequency is received.

   Q: Is AM or FM broadcast frequency received? 

   • YES:  Go to Step 2.
   • NO:  Diagnose the radio and CD player <vehicles with radio and CD player> or the audio visual navigation unit <vehicles with MMCS> (Refer to TROUBLE SYMPTOM CHART <vehicles with radio and CD player> or TROUBLE SYMPTOM CHART <vehicles with MMCS>).
2. STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus line. 
   CAUTION: To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
   1. Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
   2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
   3. Diagnose the CAN bus line.
   4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

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

      • YES <vehicles with radio and CD player>:  Go to Step 3.
      • YES <vehicles with MMCS>:  Go to Step  6.
      • NO <vehicles with radio and CD player or MMCS>:  Repair the CAN bus line. (Refer to DIAGNOSIS ).
