SPIRAL CABLE
Revision: 2005 July 2005 FX
7. Disconnect the horn switch connector, and then the spiral cable
connector.
CAUTION:

Do not tap or bump the steering wheel.

Also, with the steering linkage disconnected the cable
may snap by turning the steering wheel beyond the lim-
ited number of turns.
8. Remove the wiper washer switch and lighting switch from the spiral cable.
INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

The spiral cable may snap due to steering operation if the
cable is installed in an improper position.

Also, with the steering linkage disconnected the cable may
snap by turning the steering wheel beyond the limited num-
ber of turns. The spiral cable can be turned counterclock-
wise about 2.5 turns from the right end position.

After the work is completed, perform self-diagnosis to make
sure that no malfunction is detected. Refer to SRS-17, "
SRS
Operation Check" .

Power Transfer DiagramADS000RV
System DescriptionADS000RW
DESCRIPTION

Electronic control allows optimal distribution of torque to front/rear wheels to match road conditions.

Makes possible stable driving, with no wheel spin, on snowy roads or other slippery surfaces.

On roads which do not require AWD, it contributes to improved fuel economy by driving in conditions close
to rear-wheel drive.

Sensor inputs determine the vehicle's turning condition, and in response tight cornering/braking are con-
trolled by distributing optimum torque to front wheels.
NOTE:

When driving, if there is a large difference between front and rear wheel speed which continues for a long
time, fluid temperature of drive system parts becomes too high and AWD warning lamp flashes rapidly.
(When AWD warning lamp flashes, vehicle changes to rear-wheel drive conditions.) Also, optional distri-
bution of torque sometimes becomes rigid before lamp flashes rapidly, but it is not malfunction.

If AWD warning lamp is flashing rapidly, stop vehicle and allow it to idle for some time. Flashing will stop
and AWD system will be restored.

When driving, AWD warning lamp may flash slowly if there is a significant difference in diameter of the
tires. At this time, vehicle performance is not fully available and cautious driving is required. (Continues
until engine is turned OFF.)

If the warning lamp flashes slowly during driving but remains OFF after engine is restarted, the system is
normal. If it again flashes slowly after driving for some time, vehicle must be inspected.

When the difference of revolution speed between the front and rear wheel mode the shift occasionally
changes to direct 4-wheel driving conditions automatically. This is not malfunction.

ELECTRIC CONTROLLED COUPLING
Operation Principle
1. AWD control unit supplies command current to electric controlled coupling (AWD solenoid).
2. Control clutch is engaged by electromagnet and torque is detected in control clutch.
3. The cam operates in response to control clutch torque and applies pressure to main clutch.
4. Main clutch transmits torque to front wheels according to pressing power.

Transmission torque to front wheels is determined according
to command current.
AWD CONTROL UNIT

Controls distribution of drive power between rear-wheel drive
(0:100) and AWD (50:50) conditions according to signals from
sensors.

Self-diagnosis can be done with CONSULT-II.

AWD WARNING LAMP
Turns ON when there is a malfunction in AWD system. It indicates that fail-safe mode is engaged and vehicle
change to rear-wheel drive or shifting driving force-AWD (Front-wheels still have some driving torque).
Also turns ON when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check. Turns OFF approximately for 1
seconds after the engine starts if system is normal.
AWD Warning Lamp Indication
System DiagramADS000RX
Condition AWD warning lamp
Lamp check Turns ON when ignition switch is turned ON. Turns OFF
approx. 1 second after engine start.
AWD system malfunction ON
Protection function is activated due to heavy load to electric con-
trolled coupling. (AWD system is not malfunctioning and AWD system
changes to 2WD mode.) Rapid flashing: 2 times/second
(Flashing in approx. 1 minute and then turning OFF.)
Large difference in diameter of front/rear tires Slow flashing: 1 time/2 seconds
(Continuing to flash until turning ignition switch OFF)
Other than above (system normal) OFF
