Memory function
•This function stores DTCs for malfunctions of the input/output signal systems as determined by the failure
detection function. Once a DTC is stored, it is not cleared even if the input/output signal system malfunction
returns to normal when the ignition key is turned to the LOCK position (engine OFF).
•Since DTCs are stored in the non-volatile memory inside the 4WD CM, they are not cleared even if the battery
is disconnected. Therefore, it is necessary to clear the memory when maintenance has been completed. For
clearing DTCs, refer to the procedures in the Workshop Manual.
•When inspecting DTCs using a WDS or equivalent, only one memory stored DTC at a time can be displayed.
Therefore, when multiple DTCs have been stored, it is necessary to inspect for DTCs again after repairing and
clearing the present DTC to ensure that there are no more DTCs present in the memory.
Fail-safe function
•When the failure detection function determines that there is a malfunction, the 4WD warning light illuminates to
alert the driver. At this time, the fail-safe function suspends control or takes other measures to ensure that
driving stability is not lost.
X:Available
*1: Does not illuminate when only the coupling torque request signal from the DSC HU/CM cannot be received.*2: Only integrated DSC control is prohibited when only the coupling torque request signal from the DSC HU/CM
cannot be received.
External tester communication function
•This function allows for the storing and clearing of DTCs due to a communication link between the 4WD CM
and an external tester.
