DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tool:
MB991223: Harness Set
STEP 1. Check fog lamp switch connector C-128 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Is fog lamp switch connector C-128 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer
to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection
P.00E-2. Repair the fog lamp switch. If the fog lamp
switch operates normally, a correct signal is sent from
the fog lamp switch.
STEP 2. Check the fog lamp switch.
Remove the fog lamp switch. Refer to GROUP 54A, Fog lamp
P.54A-168. Then check continuity between the switch termi-
nals.
Q: Is the fog lamp switch in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Repair the fog lamp switch. If the fog lamp switch
operates normally, a correct signal is sent from the
fog lamp switch.

STEP 3. Check the ground circuit to the fog lamp switch.
Measure the resistance at fog lamp switch connector
C-128.
(1) Disconnect fog lamp switch connector C-128 and measure
the resistance available at the wiring harness side of the
connector.
(2) Measure the resistance value between terminal 2 and
ground.
The resistance should be 2 ohms or less.
Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?
YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Go to Step 4.
STEP 4. Check the wiring harness between fog lamp
switch connector C-128 (terminal 2) and ground.
Q: Is the wiring harness between fog lamp switch
connector C-128 (terminal 2) and ground in good
condition?
YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.
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. If the fog
lamp switch operates normally, a correct signal is sent
from the fog lamp switch.
STEP 5. Check ETACS-ECU connector C-218 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Is ETACS-ECU connector C-218 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer

connector C-218 (terminal 48).
Q: Is the wiring harness between fog lamp switch
connector C-128 (terminal 1) and ETACS-ECU connector
C-218 (terminal 48) in good condition?
YES : Replace the ETACS-ECU. If the fog lamp switch
operates normally, a correct signal is sent from the
fog lamp switch.
