ELECTRONIC 4WD CONTROL SYSTEM
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICA6E632227100208Outline
•The on-board diagnostic function allows for detecting malfunctions in the input/output signals when the ignition
key is at the ON position.
•The DLC-2, which combines the failure detection and detection maintenance connectors, has been adopted to
improve serviceability. By connecting a WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2, malfunction diagnosis can be carried
out.
•Using a WDS or equivalent DTCs can be retrieved or erased, depending on the screen display, thus improving
serviceability.

Self-diagnostic function
Failure detection function
•The failure detection function detects malfunctions in the input/output signal systems of the 4WD CM and
displays them when the ignition key is at the ON position.
•When the ignition key is turned to the ON position, the 4WD CM system begins operation, and the 4WD
warning light illuminates for 3 seconds while the function checks for open circuits. At the same time the function
monitors the condition of the power supply voltage and checks for internal malfunctions.
•Then, once the system is running, the function checks the operating conditions of the 4WD solenoid and the
differential oil temperature sensor at regular intervals to determine whether there is any malfunction.
•If any malfunction is detected during these diagnostic tests, the warning light illuminates according to the
malfunction to alert the driver. Also, a DTC is output to DLC-2 via the CAN line. Also, at the same time the
failure detection result is sent to the memory and fail-safe functions.

VACUUM PUMP INSPECTION (MZR-CD (RF TURBO))A6E6912187772011. Warn up the engine.
2. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the vacuum pump and connect a vacuum gauge as shown in
the figure, then check the vacuum.• If the pressure is less than the specification,
inspect for the following.
— Malfunction of the vacuum pump
— Shortage of the lubrication oil pressure
Vacuum specification (In 8 seconds) Engine speed 1,270 rpm: 66.6 kPa {500 mmHg, 19.7 inHg} or more
Engine speed 2,450 rpm: 93.3 kPa {700 mmHg, 27.6 inHg} or more

SUSPENSION CONTROL SYSTEMA6E741601013201Outline
•The self-leveling suspension is a system that adjusts the vehicle height according the amount of vehicle load.
This system will raise the rear of a vehicle, lowered due to a load placed on it, to the designated load level
* after
the vehicle has been driven a certain distance.
•The vehicle height adjustment is performed using a gas-pressurized pump function built into the rear shock
absorber.
•For the vehicle height to return to the designated load level, the vehicle must be driven approx. 5—6 km {3.1—
3.7 miles} in city driving conditions. (Distance will vary due to load and road conditions.)
•A load amount of approx. 140—300 kg {308—660 lb} at the rear axle will cause the vehicle height to be raised,
and any weight over that will prevent the vehicle from returning to the designated load level.
*: Designated load level is defined as the level at which the vehicle is with: a full fuel tank; engine coolant and oil at
specified levels; spare tire, jack and tools in designated positions; and four people, weighing 55 kg {121 lb} each,
riding in the vehicle.

Operation
During leveling operation
•During shock absorber expansion, the inlet check valve opens due to negative pressure created in the pump
chamber, and oil is drawn into the pump chamber from the low-pressure chamber. During shock absorber
contraction, oil pressure in the pump chamber forces the outlet check valve to open, and oil in the pump
chamber flows through the pump cylinder into the high-pressure chamber. Due to this expansion and
contraction while driving, rod reaction force increases, and the vehicle height returns to the designated load
level. Also, similar to a regular shock absorber, damping is performed while driving with the damping valve.
.
Leveling operation completed
•When the vehicle height returns to the designated
load level, the volume of oil in the high-pressure
chamber increases and the piston rises. This
causes the pump chamber and the high-pressure
chamber to be connected at the pump rod notch,
and the expansion or contraction is completed.

AIR BAG SYSTEM
Side Air Bag Sensor Handling
•Disconnecting the side air bag sensor connector or removing the side air bag sensor with the ignition
switch at ON position can cause the side air bag sensor to operate and the side air bag module to
deploy, which may seriously injure you. Before disconnecting the side air bag sensor connector or
removing the side air bag sensor, always turn the ignition switch to LOCK position, then disconnect the
negative battery cable and wait for more than 1 minute to allow the backup power supply of the SAS
control module to deplete its stored power.
•If the side air bag sensor is subjected to shock or the sensor is disassembled, the side air bag module
may operate (deploy) suddenly and cause injury, or it may fail to operate normally and cause a serious
accident. Do not subject the side air bag sensor to shock or disassemble the sensor.
•Because a sensor is built into the side air bag sensor, when the side air bag module operates (deploys),
there may be a problem, such as an internal malfunction, even if there is not any external damage or
deformation. If the side air bag sensor is reused, the side air bag module may fail to operate normally
and cause a serious injury. Always replace the side air bag sensor with a new part. The side air bag
sensor cannot be bench-checked or self-checked.
Pre-tensioner Seat Belt Inspection
•Inspecting a pre-tensioner seat belt using an
ohmmeter can deploy the pre-tensioner seat
belt, which can cause serious injury. Do not
use an ohmmeter to inspect the pre-tensioner
seat belt. Always use the on-board diagnostic
to diagnose the pre-tensioner seat belt for
malfunctions.
Component Handling
•Oil, grease, water, etc on components may cause the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts to
fall to deploy in an accident, which may cause serious injury. Do not allow oil, grease, water, etc., on
components.
•Inserting a screwdriver, etc., into the
connector of an air bag module or a pre-
tensioner seat belt may damage the connector
and cause the air bag module or the pre-
tensioner seat belt to deploy improperly,
which may cause serious injury. Do not insert
any foreign objects into the connector.
Component Reuse
•Even if an air bag module or a pre-tensioner seat belt does not deploy in a collision and does not have
any external signs of damage, it may have been damaged internally, which may cause improper
operation. Improper operation may cause serious injury. Always self-check the undamaged air bag
module or pre-tensioner seat belt to determine whether it can be reused.
