How to Erase Self-diagnostic Results
1. Perform applicable inspection of malfunctioning item and then repair or replace.
2. Start engine and select “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” mode for “ALL MODE AWD/4WD” with CONSULT-II.
3. Touch “ERASE” on CONSULT-II screen to erase DTC memory.
CAUTION:
If memory cannot be erased, perform applicable diagnosis.

CAUTION:

If “CAN communication” is displayed with other DTCs, first perform the trouble diagnosis for CAN communication line.

If “ABS operation signal”, “VDC operation signal" or “TCS operation signal" is displayed, first perform the trouble diag-
nosis for ABS system.

If “Output shaft revolution signal” is displayed, first perform the trouble diagnosis for A/T system.
NOTE:

If "actuator position switch" or “actuator circuit” is displayed, first erase self-diagnostic results. ("Actuator position switch" or “actua-
tor circuit” may be displayed after installing transfer control unit or transfer assembly.)

If “clutch pressure switch” or “line pressure switch” is displayed 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.
ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSIS

In order to make it easier to find the cause of hard-to-duplicate malfunctions, malfunction information is
stored into the control unit as necessary during use by the user. This memory is not erased no matter how
many times the ignition switch is turned ON and OFF.

However, this information is erased by turning ignition switch “OFF” after performing self-diagnostics or by
erasing the memory using the CONSULT-II.
