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.

COMPONENTS FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
CAN CommunicationNDS0009X
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
For details, refer to LAN-32, "
CAN Communication Unit" .
Component parts Function
AWD control unit

Controls driving force distribution by signals from each sensor and switch from rear wheel driving
mode (0:100) to AWD mode (50:50).

2WD mode is available by fail-safe function if malfunction is detected in AWD system.
Wheel sensors Detects wheel speed.
AWD solenoid Controls electric controlled coupling by command current from AWD control unit.
Electric controlled coupling Transmits driving force to front final drive.
AWD warning lamp

Illuminates if malfunction is detected in electrical system of AWD system.

There is 1 blink in 2 seconds if rotation difference of front wheels and rear wheels is large.

There are 2 blinks in 1 second if load is still applied to driving parts.
ABS actuator and electric unit
(control unit) Transmits the following signals via CAN communication to AWD control unit.

Vehicle speed signal

Stop lamp switch signal (brake signal)
ECM Transmits the following signals via CAN communication to AWD control unit.

Accelerator pedal position signal

Engine speed signal
Unified meter and A/C amp. Transmits conditions of parking brake switch via CAN communication to AWD control unit.

FRONT WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
NOTE:
Each OUTPUT terminal transistor is activated at 10 ms intervals. Therefore after switch is turned ON, electri-
cal loads are activated with time delay. But this time delay is so short that it cannot be detected by human
senses.
Operation Mode
Combination switch reading function has operation modes shown below.
1. Normal status
–When BCM is not in sleep status, OUTPUT terminals (1-5) each turn ON-OFF every 10 ms.
2. Sleep status
–When BCM is in sleep status, transistors of OUTPUT 1 and 5 stop the output, and BCM enters low power
mode. Mean while OUTPUT 2, 3, and 4 send out ON signal every 60 ms, and accept input from lighting
switch system.
