4WD CONTROL MODUREA6E632227100205Function
•The 4WD control modure (4WD CM) calculates the optimal amount of torque distribution for the rear wheels
and outputs a corresponding electric current to the electronic control coupling (4WD solenoid). This calculation
is based on the throttle angle, four-wheel speed, engine speed, selector lever position, and other related input
signals, matched with the vehicle driving and road surface conditions.
Functions
Construction
•The 4WD CM is installed to the left of the brake pedal (clutch pedal position).

4WD system control
function•Based on each input signal, the electronic control current sent to the electronic control coupling
(4WD solenoid) is optimally controlled.
Diagnostic system•If the self-diagnostic system detects a malfunction, the 4WD warning light illuminates to alert
the driver, and at the same time the system suspends control or performs other measures to
prevent a loss of driving stability and protect the system.
•The detected malfunction is stored as a DTC in the 4WD CM.

WHEEL HUB BOLT REPLACEMENTA6E6314050002011. Remove the brake caliper component and the disc plate.
2. Remove the wheel hub bolt using the SST as
shown in the figure.
Note
•If the dust cover interferes with the wheel
hub bolt and the wheel hub bolt cannot be
removed, tap the part shown in the figure
with a chisel lightly and bend the process
back to the knuckle side.
3. Install a new wheel hub bolt into the wheel hub
and install a washer and hub nut on the hub bolt.
4. Tighten the hub nut while holding the wheel hub
using a brass bar.

Caution
•Performing the following procedures without first removing the ABS wheel-speed sensor may
possibly cause an open circuit in the harness if it is pulled by mistake. Before performing the
following procedures, remove the ABS wheel-speed sensor (wheel side) and fix it to an
appropriate place where the sensor will not be pulled by mistake while the vehicle is being
serviced.
1. Remove in the order indicated in the table.
2. Install in the reverse order of removal.

Diagnostic procedure
STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1VERIFY DSC, PCM, TCM, AND 4WD SYSTEM
DTCs
•Verify DSC, PCM, TCM, and 4WD system
DTCs using WDS or equivalent.
•Are there any DTCs present?Yes Go to applicable DTC inspection.
No Go to next step.
2VERIFY TIRE AIR PRESSURE
•Inspect tire air pressure.
•Is it within specification?Yes Go to next step.
No Adjust tire air pressure, then go to next step.
3COMPARE WITH SAME MODEL TIRES
•Install tires of the same model.
•Perform simulation driving.
•Does malfunction recur?Yes Go to next step.
No 4WD system is okay.
4COMPARE WITH SAME MODEL VEHICLE
•Install tires of malfunctioning vehicle to
another same model vehicle.
•Perform simulation driving.
•Does malfunction recur?Yes 4WD system is okay.
No Go to next step.
5INSPECT 4WD SOLENOID
•Inspect 4WD solenoid.
(See M–66 4WD SOLENOID INSPECTION)
•Is coupling component solenoid okay?Yes Inspect harness between 4WD solenoid and 4WD CM, then
go to next step.
No Replace coupling component.
6INSPECT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
•Inspect wheel alignment.
•Is it okay?Yes Replace coupling component.
No Inspect wheel alignment, and adjust it if necessary.
2 Tight corner braking
[TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS]
•Because the coupling component locks up easily (similar to direct 4WD), rotational difference between the front
and rear wheels cannot be absorbed and brake-like phenomenon occurs.
•Due to the coupling component construction, slight tight corner braking effect occurs during tight cornering on a
paved road. (4WD system is okay. Compare with another same model vehicle to determine malfunction.)
•Coupling component malfunction
•4WD solenoid malfunction
STEP INSPECTION ACTION

DTCs using WDS or equivalent.
•Are there any DTCs present?Yes Go to applicable DTC inspection.
No Go to next step.
2VERIFY TIRE AIR PRESSURE
•Inspect tire air pressure.
•Is it within specification?Yes Go to next step.
No Adjust tire air pressure, then go to next step.
3INSPECT ABS WHEEL-SPEED SENSOR
•Inspect ABS wheel-speed sensor.
•Is it okay?Yes Go to next step.
No Repair or replace malfunctioning part.
4COMPARE WITH SAME MODEL VEHICLE
•Perform simulation driving with another
same model vehicle.
•Does malfunction recur on the same model
vehicle?Yes 4WD system is okay.
No Go to next step.
5PERFORM SIMULATION DRIVING WITH 4WD
SOLENOID CONNECTOR DISCONNECTED

DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL
OUTLINEA6E692067650201•The construction and operation of DSC is the same as that of the current Mazada6 2WD model, except for the
following:
— Due to the addition the 4WD model, DSC HU/CM uses the foward-G signal from the combine sensor to
control DSC.
—Due to adoption of the 4WD CM, DSC HU/CM sends a coupling torque request, a 4-wheel speed, and DSC
operation condition signal to the 4WD CM through CAN.
—Due to the adoption of TCM, DSC HU/CM sends a 4-wheel speed signal to the TCM through CAN.
