Step 2. DTC check, record and clearance
First, referring to “DTC Check”, check DTC and pending
DTC. If DTC exists, print or write down DTC and then
clear malfunction DTC(s) by referring to “DTC
Clearance”. Malfunction DTC indicates malfunction in
the system but it is not possible to know from it whether
the malfunction is occurring now or it occurred in the
past and normal condition has been restored. In order to
know that, check symptom in question according to Step
5 and then recheck DTC according to Step 6.
Diagnosing a trouble based on the DTC in this step only
or failure to clear the DTC in this step may result in an
faulty diagnosis, trouble diagnosis of a normal circuit or
difficulty in troubleshooting which is otherwise
unnecessary.
Step 3 and 4. Visual inspection
As a preliminary step, be sure to perform visual check of
the items that support proper function of the 4WD control
system referring to “Visual Inspection”.
Step 5. Trouble symptom confirmation
Check trouble symptoms based on information obtained
in “Step 1. Customer complaint analysis: ” and “Step 2.
DTC check, record and clearance: ”.
Also, reconfirm DTC according to “DTC Confirmation
Procedure” described in each DTC flow.
Step 6 and 7. Rechecking and record of DTC
Refer to “DTC Check” for checking procedure.
Step 8. 4WD control symptom diagnosis
Check the parts of the system suspected as a possible
cause referring to “4WD Control Symptom Diagnosis”.
Step 9. Troubleshooting for DTC
Based on the DTC indicated in Step 6 / 7 and referring to
“applicable DTC flow”, locate the cause of the trouble,
namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness, connector,
coupling assembly, 4WD control module or other part
and repair or replace faulty parts.
Step 10. Check for intermittent problem
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to
occur (e.g. wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to
“Intermittent and Poor Connection Inspection in Section
00” and related circuit of DTC recorded in Step 2.
Step 11. Final confirmation test
Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and the
vehicle is free from any abnormal conditions. If what has
been repaired is related to the malfunction DTC, clear
the DTC once and check to ensure that no malfunction
DTC is indicated.4WD Position Indicator Operation CheckS6RW0D3204002
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
2) Check that 4WD position indicators turn on for about
2 seconds and then turns off.
If any faulty condition is found, proceed to “4WD
Position Indicator Does Not Come ON at Ignition
Switch ON but Engine Stops” or “4WD Position
Indicator Remains ON Steady at Ignition Switch ON”.
4WD Control System Operation InspectionS6RW0D3204003
NOTE
• It automatically changes into “4WD-auto”
position, when the vehicle speed becomes
specified speed or more at “4WD-lock”
position. It is “4WD-auto” position until
switch will be selected to “4WD-lock”
position at next time.
• When ABS operates while changed of each
position, it is discontinued of change. End
of the ABS operation, and then returned to
the position of before.
1) Inspect switch operation from “4WD-auto” to “2WD”
as follows.
a) Start engine.
b) Push 2WD/4WD switch to “2WD” position.
c) Check that 4WD AUTO indicator and 4WD
LOCK indicator not come ON.
2) Inspect switch operation from “2WD” to “4WD-auto”
as follows.
a) Start engine.
b) Push 2WD/4WD switch to “AUTO” position.
c) Check that 4WD AUTO indicator comes ON
steady and 4WD LOCK indicator not come ON.
3) Inspect switch operation from “4WD-auto” to “4WD-
lock” as follows.
a) Start engine.
b) Push 2WD/4WD switch to “LOCK” position, and
keep it for 3 seconds or more.
c) Check that 4WD AUTO indicator not come ON
and 4WD LOCK indicator comes ON steady.
4) Inspect switch operation from “4WD-lock” to “4WD-
auto” as follows.
a) Start engine.
b) Push 2WD/4WD switch to “AUTO” position.
c) Check that 4WD AUTO indicator comes ON
steady and 4WD LOCK indicator not come ON.
