ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
It is possible to deal with these symptoms by changing “CLUTCH FORCE RELEASE LIMIT VALUE”.
However, be careful when changing the values because it may adversely affect driving performance.
NOTE:
A slight shock is felt at a few hertz as if it were being pushed lightly from behind.
CONSULT-II Setting Procedure
1. Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position.
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CON-
VERTER, malfunctions might be detected in self-diagnosis
depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.
2. Connect CONSULT-II and CONSULT-II CONVERTER to data
link connector.
3. Turn ignition switch to “ON” position.
4. Touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)”.
5. Touch “ALL MODE AWD/4WD”.
If "ALL MODE AWD/4WD" is not indicated, refer to GI-39,
"CONSULT-II Data Link Connector (DLC) Circuit" .
6. Touch “WORK SUPPORT”.
7. Select WORK ITEM by touching “CLUTCH/F RLS LIM ADJ”.
CLUTCH FORCE RELEASE LIMIT ADJUSTMENT
1.2 kg-m: Tight corner braking symptom is alleviated. However, vibration may occur when accelerating on a
low µ road (icy road, etc.).
0.3 kg-m: Initial set value
0.2 kg-m: Do not set to this value because the tight corner braking symptom will get worse.
1. Current CLUTCH FORCE RELEASE LIMIT value “0.3 kgm”
appears under “CONDITION SETTING” on CONSULT-II display.
2. Touch “1.2” on the display.

3. Display changes to “NOW ADJUSTING” in a short time.
4. When clutch force release limit value is set to “1.2 kgm”, current
value “0.3 kgm” shown on display will be replaced by “1.2 kgm”
and “ADJUSTMENT COMPLETE” will appear at the same time.
Clutch force release limit value setting is now complete.

4WD SOLENOID VALVEPFP:00000
Diagnostic ProcedureEDS00183
1. CHECK 4WD SOLENOID VALVE
Refer to TF-95, "
4WD SOLENOID VALVE, CLUTCH PRESSURE
SWITCH AND LINE PRESSURE SWITCH" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Repair or replace 4WD solenoid valve.
2. CHECK POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
2. Disconnect transfer control unit harness connector E142.
3. Check resistance between transfer terminal cord assembly har-
ness connector F56 terminal 6 (L) and transfer control unit har-
ness connector E142 terminal 10 (L/W).
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Check the following.

Transfer dropping resistor
Refer to TF-96, "
TRANSFER DROPPING RESISTOR" .

Continuity between transfer terminal cord assembly harness connector F56 terminal 6 (L) and
transfer dropping resistor harness connector E135 terminal 2 (L).

Continuity between transfer dropping resistor harness connector E135 terminal 1 (L/W) and
transfer control unit harness connector E142 terminal 10 (L/W).
3. CHECK POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
2. Check continuity between transfer terminal cord assembly har-
ness connector F56 terminal 6 (L) and transfer control unit har-
ness connector E142 terminal 19 (L).
Continuity should exist.
OK or NG
