CONSULT-II can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown following.
Trouble Diagnosis with CONSULT-IIEDS0017V
SELF-DIAGNOSIS
CONSULT-II Setting Procedure
1. Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position.
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, 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. Start engine.
4. On CONSULT-II screen, touch “START (NISSAN BASED
VHCL)”.
5. Touch “ALL MODE AWD/4WD” on SELECT SYSTEM screen.
If "ALL MODE AWD/4WD" is not indicated, refer to GI-39,
"CONSULT-II Data Link Connector (DLC) Circuit" .

ting the status suitable for required operation, input/output signals are received from the transfer con-
trol unit and received data is displayed.

Note 1: When a malfunction occurs, it is only displayed and not stored in the memory.
Note 2: When the wait detection switch has been properly fixed, malfunction information is erased from the memory.
Note 3: If 4WD shift switch is left between 4H and 4LO for a while, this indication may be displayed.
(*1): If the malfunction is detected only while driving in reverse, check the continuity of “R” position on A/T PNP switch. When there is
nothing wrong with the electrical system, check the hydraulic system.
(*2): If a revolution sensor malfunction is detected at the same time, check the revolution sensor circuit first.
Note 4: When this malfunction is detected with the ABS warning lamp off, first check for disconnection or shorting in the harness
between the transfer control unit and the ABS control unit.
Note 5: When several systems including CAN communication system indicate malfunctions, perform diagnosis of the CAN communica-
tion first.Shift actuator abnormal

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.
