INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR TROUBLE SYMPTOMS
Inspection procedure 1
Communication with the MUT-II is not possible.Probable cause
If communication with all other systems is not possible, there is a high
possibility that there is a malfunction of the diagnosis line. If communication
with only the A/C is not possible, the cause is probably a malfunction of the
diagnosis line or of the A/C-ECU power supply system (earth).
Malfunction of connector or harness
