WORK SUPPORTNBTF0012S06PurposeNBTF0012S0601When there is no problem with transfer and 4WD system, follow-
ing symptoms in ªAUTOº mode may be claimed by a customer.
ITight corner braking symptom after accelerator (throttle) open-
ing (Note 1)
IVibration when accelerating on a low road (snow-covered or
icy road) (Note 2)
It is possible to deal with these symptoms by changing
ªCLUTCH FORCE RELEASE LIMIT VALUEº. However, be
careful when changing the values because it may adversely
affect driving performance.
NOTE:
1) When the accelerator is slightly open (approx. 1/8) or fully
closed after being opened. The tight corner braking symptom
during idle creep driving with accelerator fully closed cannot be

2) A slight shock is felt at a few hertz as if it were being pushed
lightly from behind.

CONSULT-II Setting ProcedureNBTF0012S06021. Turn ignition switch to ªOFFº position.
2. Connect CONSULT-II to data link connector, which is located
in instrument lower panel on driver side.
3. Turn ignition switch to ªONº position.
4. Touch ªSTARTº.
5. Touch ªALL MODE 4WDº.

7. Select WORK ITEM by touching ªCLUTCH/F RLS LIM ADJº.
NOTE:
ªSTART TORQ OFFSET ADJº is displayed, but the transfer does
not have this function.
CLUTCH FORCE RELEASE LIMIT ADJUSTMENTNBTF0012S071.2 kg-m: Tight corner braking symptom is alleviated. However,
vibration may occur when accelerating on a low road (icy road,
etc.).
0.3 kg-m: Initial set value
0.2 kg-m: Do not set to this value because the tight corner braking
symptom will get worse.

IntroductionNBTF0013DESCRIPTIONNBTF0013S01When a malfunction (indicated by the 4WD warning lamp illumination) occurs, collect information first from the
customer about how the malfunction occurs. Then, proceed with the diagnosis presuming it is the cause. Also
inspect the electrical system, paying close attention to other possibilities such as fluid level and leaks.
All-mode 4WD transfer is controlled by transfer control unit and sensors.
If a malfunction occurs in the all-mode 4WD system, the 4WD warning lamp lights up to inform of the system
malfunction. There are two ways to identify the cause of the malfunction.
1) Performing the self-diagnosis. (The 4WD warning lamp will indicate what kind of malfunction has occurred
by flickering.)
2) Performing diagnosis using CONSULT-II.

In general, each customer feels differently about a problem. It is important to fully understand the symptoms
or conditions for a customer complaint.
Make good use of the two sheets provided, ªInformation from Customerº (Refer to TF-41.) and ªDiagnostic

to fully understand the symptoms or conditions for a customer
complaint.
IListen to the customer about how and when the malfunction
occurs, and make good use of it when performing the road test.

Road TestNBTF0017PREPARATION FOR ROAD TESTNBTF0017S01IThe purpose of the test is to determine overall performance of
transfer and analyze causes of problems.
IThe road test consists of the following three parts:
IWhen a malfunction is found in any part of transfer, perform the
road test to locate the malfunction area and repair the malfunc-
tion parts.
1. Check before engine is started
2. Check at idle
3. Cruise test
