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.

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.
