Check RAS Static/Dynamic CharacteristicsNGS000F3
1. CHECK (1): RAS ACTUATOR STROKE
Perform CONSULT-II “ACTIVE TEST”, and then check the actuator
stroke when turning the steering wheel clockwise or counterclock-
wise by 180° or more.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 3.
2. CHECK (2): RAS ACTUATOR STROKE
Perform CONSULT-II “ACTIVE TEST“. When turning the steering
wheel in neutral position (A), the rear wheel turns clockwise/counter-
clockwise periodically. At that time, check actuator stroke (B).
OK or NG
OK >> RAS static/dynamic characteristics inspection is com-
pleted.
NG >> GO TO 3.
3. CHECK RAS MOTOR
Check RAS motor itself separated from other parts. Refer to STC-50, "
RAS MOTOR" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> RAS motor malfunction. Check the stroke again after replacing.
4. CHECK REAR WHEEL STEERING ANGLE SENSOR
Check rear wheel steering angle sensor separated from other parts. Refer to STC-50, "
REAR WHEEL
STEERING ANGLE SENSOR" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 5.
NG >> Rear wheel steering angle sensor malfunction. Check the stroke again after replacing.
5. CHECK RAS CONTROL UNIT

TROUBLE DIAGNOSISPFP:00004
Fail-Safe FunctionNDS000DF

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 DiagnosisNDS000DG
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-22, "
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.

CONSULT-II SETTING PROCEDURE
Refer to GI-38, "CONSULT-II Start Procedure" .
SELF-DIAG RESULT MODE
Operation Procedure
1. Perform “CONSULT-II Start Procedure”. Refer to GI-38, "CONSULT-II Start Procedure" .
2. Start engine and drive at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approx. 1 minute.
3. Stop vehicle. With engine at idle, touch “SELF-DIAG RESULTS”.
Display shows malfunction experienced since the last erasing
operation.
NOTE:

The details for “TIME” are as follow:
–“0”: Error currently detected with AWD control unit.
–Except for “0”: Error detected in the past and memorized
with AWD control unit.
Detects frequency of driving after DTC occurs (frequency
of turning ignition switch “ON/OFF”).
Display Item List
CAUTION:

If “CAN COMM CIRCUIT [U1000]” is displayed with other DTCs, first perform the trouble diagnosis for CAN communica-
tion line.

Make sure that ABS warning lamp turns OFF by driving for a minute at vehicle speed of 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more after
turning ignition switch “OFF” if AWD warning lamp turns ON with system malfunction of “ABS SYSTEM [C1203]”. AWD
warning lamp may not turn OFF if it is normal unless ignition switch turns OFF at once and engine restarts after that.
How to Erase Self-Diagnostic Results
