CAUTION:
1. Light tight-corner braking symptom may occur depending on driving conditions in AUTO mode.
This is not malfunction.
2. Heavy tight-corner braking symptom occurs when vehicle is driven in the following conditions:
LOCK mode, steering wheel is turned fully to either sides, and accelerator pedal was depressed.

4WD WARNING LAMP DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WITH IGNITION ON
1.INSPECTION OF BLOWN FUSE BETWEEN IGNITION SWITCH AND COMBINATION METER
Check blown fuse between ignition switch and combination meter.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2 (No blown fuse)
NG >> Replace the fuse and perform the inspection again.
2.COMBINATION METER POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT INSPECTION
1. Disconnect combination meter connector.
2. Check voltage between the combination meter harness connector M46 terminal No. LHD models: 46 (W/
L) RHD models: 59 (W/L) and body ground.
OK or NG
OK >> Malfunctioning combination meter.
NG >> Check fuse 10A [#11] to combination meter harness and connector.
4WD WARNING LAMP DOES NOT GO OUT SEVERAL SECONDS AFTER ENGINE
STARTED.(4WD MODE INDICATOR LAMP GOES OUT)
1.PERFORM SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Using CONSULT-II perform self-diagnosis.
OK or NG
OK >> No malfunction detected. Perform inspection again.
NG >>
lDetermine the location of the malfunction according to the result of Self-diagnosis using CON-
SULT-II. (Malfunction is present in the 4WD system.)
lCONSULT-II does not display 4WD system-related trouble codes. GO TO 2.
2.4WD CONTROL UNIT CONNECTOR CONNECTION INSPECTION
lCheck 4WD/ABS control unit connector for proper connection.
OK or NG
OK >> Reconnect the 4WD/ABS control unit connector properly and perform inspection again.
NG >> Repair or replace the connector.
HEAVY TIGHT-CORNER BRAKING SYMPTOM OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN IN
AUTO MODE AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED FULLY TO EITHER SIDE AFTER THE
ENGINE IS STARTED
1.PERFORM SELF-DIAGNOSIS.
Using CONSULT-II perform self-diagnosis.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2. (No self-diagnosis malfunction indicated.)
NG >> Determine the location of the malfunction according to the result of Self-diagnosis using CON-
SULT-II. (Malfunction is present in the 4WD system.)
