4. STEP 4. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 88: Neutral switch. 
   1. Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector (Refer to HOW TO ERASE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES  ).
   2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
   3. Set scan tool MB991958 to data reading mode for cruise control system (Refer to HOW TO ERASE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES  ).
      • Item 88: Neutral switch.
        • When selector lever is at the "P" and "N" position, the display on scan tool MB991958 should be "ON."
        • When selector lever is other than "P" and "N" position, the display on scan tool MB991958 should be "OFF."

   Q: Is the switch operating properly? 

   1. YES:  Go to Step 5.
   2. NO:  Replace the ECM [Refer to ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) ] < 2.0L ENGINE Non-turbo > or [Refer to ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) ] < 2.4L ENGINE >. When the ECM is replaced, register the encrypted code (Refer to ID registration procedure manual - ID codes registration judgement table) < Vehicle with WCM installed >. Then go to  Step 6.
5. STEP 5. Check the symptoms. 

   Q: When the selector lever is moved to "N" position, is the cruise control cancelled? 

   1. YES:  It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent (Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION ).
   2. NO:  Replace the ECM [Refer to ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) ] < 2.0L ENGINE Non-turbo > or [Refer to ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) ] < 2.4L ENGINE >. When the ECM is replaced, register the encrypted code (Refer to ID registration procedure manual - ID codes registration judgement table) < Vehicle with WCM installed >. Then go to Step 6.
6. STEP 6. Check the symptoms. 

   Q: When the selector lever is moved to "N" position, is the cruise control cancelled? 

   1. YES:  The procedure is complete.
   2. NO:  Return to  Step 1.
