SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Operation procedure
1. After turning ignition switch OFF, connect CONSULT-II connec-
tor to data link connector on vehicle.
2. Start engine and drive at approx. 30 km/h(19MPH) for approx. 1
minute.
3. Stop vehicle. With engine at idle, touch "START", "ALL MODE
4WD", and "SELF-DIAG RESULTS" on CONSULT-II screen in
this order.
CAUTION:
"ALL MODE 4WD" may not be displayed on the system
selection screen in the following case: When "START" was
touched just after engine is started or ignition switch is
turned to ON. In this case, repeat procedure from step 1.
4. DTC RESULT is displayed. (If necessary, touch "PRINT" to print self-diagnosis result.)
●If "NO DTC IS DETECTED FURTHER TESTING MAY BE REQUIRED" is displayed. Check 4WD warn-
ing lamp.
5. Check the malfunctioning part indicated by the chart to repair or replace.
6. Start engine and drive at approx. 30km/h(19MPH) for approx. 1minule.
CAUTION:
●Check again to make sure that there is NO FAILURE on other parts.
●If wheel sensor [Short-Circuit] is detected, 4WD warning lamp does not turn off until following
conditions: Vehicle is driven at approx. 30km/h(19MPH) for approx. 1minute, even in normal
conditions.
7. Turn OFF ignition switch to prepare for erasing memory.
8. Start engine. Touch "START," "ALL MODE 4WD," "SELF-DIAG RESULTS," and "ERASE" on CONSULT-II
screen in this order to erase fault memory.
