DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM (TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT)

CONSULT-III Function (ALL MODE AWD/4WD)

INFOID:0000000003937321

FUNCTION

CONSULT-III can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown following.

SELF-DIAG RESULT MODE

Operation Procedure

1.

Connect “CONSULT-III”.

2.

With engine at idle, touch “SELF-DIAG RESULTS”.
Display shows malfunction experienced since the last erasing operation.

NOTE:
The details for "TIME" are as follows:
• "0": Error currently detected with transfer control unit.
• Except for "0": Error detected in the past and memorized with transfer control unit.

Detects frequency of driving after DTC occurs (frequency of turning ignition switch "ON/OFF").

How to Erase Self-diagnostic Results

1.

Perform applicable inspection of malfunctioning item and then repair or replace.

2.

Start engine and select “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” mode for “ALL MODE AWD/4WD” with CONSULT-III.

3.

Touch “ERASE” on CONSULT-III screen to erase DTC memory.

CAUTION:

If memory cannot be erased, perform applicable diagnosis.

 SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (WITHOUT CONSULT-III)

Description

If the engine starts when there is something wrong with the 4WD system, the 4WD warning lamp turns ON or
flickers in the combination meter. When the system functions properly, the warning lamp turns ON when the
ignition switch is turned to “ON”, and it turns OFF after engine starts. To locate the cause of a problem, start
the self-diagnosis function. The 4WD warning lamp in the combination meter will indicate the problem area by
flickering according to the self-diagnostic results.  Refer to 

DLN-245, "DTC Index"

.

Diagnostic Procedure

1.

Warn up engine.

2.

Turn ignition switch “ON” and “OFF” at least twice, and then turn ignition switch “OFF”.

3.

Move A/T selector lever to “P” position.

4.

Turn 4WD shift switch to “2WD” position.

5.

Turn ignition switch “ON”. (Do not start engine.)

6.

4WD warning lamp ON.
If 4WD warning lamp does not turn ON, refer to 

DLN-249, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

7.

Move A/T selector lever to “R” position.

8.

Turn 4WD shift switch to “2WD”, “4H” and “2WD” in order.

9.

Move A/T selector lever to “P” position.

10. Turn 4WD shift switch to “4H”, “2WD” and “4H” in order.
