TROUBLE DIAGNOSISPFP:00004
Fail-Safe FunctionADS000S1
If any malfunction occurs in AWD electrical system, and control unit detects the malfunction, AWD warn-
ing lamp on combination meter turns ON to indicate system malfunction.
When AWD warning lamp is ON, vehicle changes to rear-wheel drive or shifting driving force-AWD (Front-
wheels still have some driving torque).
How to Perform Trouble DiagnosisADS000S2
BASIC CONCEPT
To perform trouble diagnosis, it is the most important to have understanding about vehicle systems (con-
trol and mechanism) thoroughly.
It is also important to clarify customer complaints before inspec-
tion.
First of all, reproduce symptoms, and understand them fully.
Ask customer about his/her complaints carefully. In some cases,
it will be necessary to check symptoms by driving vehicle with
customer.
CAUTION:
Customers are not professional. It is dangerous to make an
easy guess like "maybe the customer means that...," or
"maybe the customer mentions this symptom".
It is essential to check symptoms right from the beginning in
order to repair malfunctions completely.
For intermittent malfunctions, reproduce symptoms based on
interview with customer and past examples. Do not perform
inspection on ad hoc basis. Most intermittent malfunctions are
caused by poor contacts. In this case, it will be effective to shake
suspected harness or connector by hand. When repairing with-
out any symptom diagnosis, you cannot judge if malfunctions
have actually been eliminated.
After completing diagnosis, always erase diagnostic memory.
Refer to TF-23, "
How to Erase Self-Diagnostic Results" .
For intermittent malfunctions, move harness or harness connec-
tor by hand. Then check for poor contact or reproduced open circuit.
