RECTIFIERS CHECK
(1) Inspect the (+) heat sink by checking the continuity
between the (+) heat sink and stator coil lead wire
connection terminal using a tester probe.
If there is a continuity at both, the diode is short circuited,
so replace the rectifier.
(2) Inspect the (–) heat sink by checking the continuity
between the (–) heat sink and stator coil lead wire
connection terminal using a tester probe.
If there is a continuity at both, the diode is short circuited,
so replace the rectifier.
(3) Check the diode trio by connecting an ohmmeter to both
ends of each diode and check the continuity of the three
diodes.
If there is a continuity at both ends, or if there is no
continuity, the diode is damaged so replace the recitifier.
BRUSH CHECK
(1) Measure the length of the brush protrusion shown in the
illustration, and replace the brush if the measured value
is below the limit value.
Limit: 2 mm or less
(2) The brush can be removed if the solder of the brush
lead wire is removed.
(3) When installing a new brush, insert the brush into the
holder as shown in the illustration, and then solder the
lead wires.

ACTUATOR TEST REFERENCE TABLE
The following items can be tested by driving the corresponding actuator forcibly using the MUT-II.
Item No.Check itemChecking requirementsNormal value
10Air bleedingSupply current to proportioning
valve in accordance with steering
angle to operate directional valve.No air is to be bled from the
bleeder plug on the torque transfer
differential.
11Oil level checkLet the directional valve operate to
left and right 20 times.To be checked by oil level in
reservoir tank.
12Electric pump operationLet the electric pump operate for 5
seconds.Operation sounds of the electric
pump are to be heard.
13Clutch operation (left)Let the directional valve operate to
supply the maximum pressure to the
left clutch.The operation conditions are to be
checked by the speed difference
between left and right rear wheels
with the wheels raised. For details,
refer to AYC Operation Check on
P.27-34.
14Clutch operation (right)Let the directional valve operate to
supply the maximum pressure to the
right clutch.The operation conditions are to be
checked by the speed difference
between left and right rear wheels
with the wheels raised. For details,
refer to AYC Operation Check on
P.27-34.
15Control OFFTurn off the electric pump relay to
deactivate AYC control.During the test run, some
differences are to be recognized in
running behaviors between when
the system is ON and when it is
OFF.
NOTE
(1) The actuator test is feasible only when the following requirements are all satisfied.

All of inputs from four wheel speed sensors show 20 km/h or lower.

No system failure is registered.

The steering angle is within ±30 deg. from the neutral position.
(2) The actuator test comes to an end when either of the following conditions is met since the forced
actuation is canceled.

Either of inputs from four wheel sensors shows higher than 20 km/h (with exception of Item
No.15 “Control OFF”).

Some trouble with the system is registered.

Forced activation time expires.

MUT-II is removed.

The clear key of MUT-II is operated.

REAR AXLE – On-vehicle Service 27-36
(2) While this function is being disabled by the fail-safe
function, the forced activation of the hydraulic unit
can not be executed.
6. Check to ensure that the hydraulic pressure generated
by the hydraulic unit conforms to the standard value.
Standard value: 1.0 – 1.6 MPa
NOTE
During checking the hydraulic pressure, occasionally
replenish the oil reservoir with fluid so that it does not
become empty.
7. Check the hydraulic pressure of the clutch right side by
repeating the steps (4) through (6). At this time, however,
the special tool must be connected to the R port and
the blind plug or the R port of the removed hydraulic
unit hose assembly must be attached to the L port. Further,
the MUT-II must be operated in the forced activation mode
Item No. 14 (clutch right side operation check mode).
8. If the measured value exceeds the standard value, replace
the hydraulic unit.
9. Connect the hydraulic unit hose assembly to the hydraulic
unit and to the torque transfer differential and tighten
the flare nuts to the specified torque.
Specified torque: 34 Nm
10. Pour the specified fluid in the oil reservoir up to the MAX
mark. Then, bleed the system.
Specified fluid: Dia Queen ATF SP II or equivalent
Fluid amount used: Approx. 1

DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER OIL SEAL
REPLACEMENT
DIFFERENTIAL
1. Remove the drive shaft.
2. Remove the oil seal from the differential carrier.
3. Using the special tool, drive a new oil seal all the way
into position.
4. Coat the oil seal lips and the drive shaft surface in contact
with the oil seal with multi-purpose grease.
5. Replace the drive shaft circlip with a new one and mount
the drive shaft to the differential carrier.
6. Check for correct wheel alignment.
TORQUE TRANSFER MECHANISM
1. Remove the drive shaft.
2. Remove the oil seal from the differential carrier.
3. Using the special tool, drive a new oil seal all the way
into position.
4. Coat the oil seal lips and the drive shaft surface in contact
with the oil seal with the specified grease.
Specified grease: Vaseline
5. Replace the drive shaft circlip with a new one and mount
the drive shaft to the differential carrier.
6. Check for correct wheel alignment.

SRS – SRS-ECU / Air Bag Modules and Clock Spring52B-25
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
ASRS-ECU INSTALLATION
Caution
The SRS may not activate if SRS-ECU is not installed
properly, which could result in serious injury or death
to the vehicle’s driver or front passenger.
BPOST-INSTALLATION INSPECTION
1. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
2. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position.
3. Does the “SRS” warning lamp illuminate for about 7
seconds, and then remain extinguished for at least 5
seconds after turning OFF?
4. If yes, SRS system is functioning properly.
If no, consult page 52B-6.
INSPECTION

Check the SRS-ECU and brackets for dents, cracks or
deformation.

Check connector for damage, and terminals for
deformation.
Caution
If a dent, crack, deformation or rust is discovered,
replace the SRS-ECU with a new one.
NOTE
For checking of the SRS-ECU other than described above,
refer to the section concerning troubleshooting. (Refer
to P.52B-6.)
AIR BAG MODULES AND CLOCK SPRING
Caution
1. Disconnect the battery (–) terminal and wait
for 60 seconds or more before starting work.
Furthermore, the disconnected battery
terminal should be covered with tape to
insulate it. (Refer to P.52B-3.)
2. Never attempt to disassemble or repair the
air bag modules or clock spring.
If faulty, replace it.
3. Do not drop the air bag modules or clock
spring or allow contact with water, grease
or oil.
Replace it if a dent, crack, deformation or
rust is detected.
4. The air bag modules should be stored on
a flat surface and placed so that the pad
surface is facing upward.
Do not place anything on top of it.5. Do not expose the air bag modules to
temperatures over 93C.
6. Both driver’s side and front passenger’s
side air bag modules should be replaced
with new ones once the respective air bags
were deployed. The clock springs should
also be checked and replaced with new ones
if considered abnormal.
7. Wear gloves and safety glasses when
handling air bags that have already
deployed.
8. An undeployed air bag module should only
be disposed of in accordance with the
procedures (Refer to P.52B-32.)
