7. Repeat steps above as necessary to check the other seat belts.
SEAT BELT RETRACTOR ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
Emergency Locking Retractors (ELR) and Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR)
NOTE:
All seat belt retractors are of the Emergency Locki ng Retractors (ELR) type. In an emergency (sudden stop)
the retractor will lock and prevent the webbing from extending any further. All 3-point type seat belt retractors
except the driver's seat belt also have an Automati c Locking Retractors (ALR) mode. The ALR mode (also
called child restraint mode) is used when installing child seats. The ALR mode is activated when the seat belt
is fully extended. When the webbing is then retracted part ially, the ALR mode automatically locks the seat belt
in a specific position so the webbi ng cannot be extended any further. To c ancel the ALR mode, allow the seat
belt to fully wind back into the retractor.
Check the seat belt retractors using the following test(s ) to determine if a retractor assembly is operating prop-
erly.
Stationary Inspection for ELR Function
Grasp the shoulder webbing and pull forward quickly. The retractor should lock and prevent the belt from
extending further.
Stationary Inspection for ALR Function
1. Pull out entire length of seat belt from retractor until a click is heard.
2. Retract the webbing partially. A clicking noise should be heard as the webbing retracts indicating that the
retractor is in the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode.
3. Grasp the seat belt and try to pull out the retracto r. The webbing must lock and not extend any further. If
necessary replace the retractor assembly.
4. Allow the entire length of the webbing to retract to cancel the automatic locking mode.
Moving Inspection for ELR Function
WARNING:
Perform the following test in a safe, open area clear of other vehicles and obstructions (for example, a
large, empty parking lot). Road surface must be p aved and dry. DO NOT perform the following test on
wet or gravel roads or on public streets and highways. This could result in an accident and serious
personal injury. The driver and passenger must be prepared to brace themselves in the event the
retractor does not lock.
1. Fasten driver's seat belt. Buckle a passenger in to the seat for the belt that is to be tested.
2. Proceed to the designated safe area.
3. Drive the vehicle at approximately 16 km/h ( 10 MPH). Notify any passengers of a pending sudden stop.
The driver and passenger must be prepared to brace t hemselves in the event the retractor does not lock.
Apply brakes firmly and make a very hard stop.
During stop, seat belts should lock and not be extended. If the seat belt retractor assembly does not lock, per-
form the retractor off-vehicle inspection.
SEAT BELT RETRACTOR OFF-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. Remove the seat belt retractor assembly.

COMPONENTS FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
CAN CommunicationINFOID:0000000001327434
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication li ne 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-43, "
CAN System Specification Chart".

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.

onds.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 6.
NG >> Perform trouble diagnosis for combination meter. Refer to DI-15, "
Trouble Diagnosis".
6.SYMPTOM CHECK

Steering Wheel Is Turned Fu lly to Either Side after the Engine Is Started
INFOID:0000000001327452
NOTE:
Light tight-corner braking symptom may occur depending on driving conditions. This is not malfunc-
tion.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
1.CHECK SYSTEM FOR CAN COMMUNICATION LINE
Perform self-diagnosis. Refer to TF-21, "
CONSULT-III Function (ALL MODE AWD/4WD)".
Is the
“CAN COMM CIRCUIT [U1000]” displayed?
YES >> Perform trouble diagnosis for CAN communication line. Refer to TF-28, "DTC U1000 CAN COMM
CIRCUIT".
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SIGNAL CIRCUIT
Perform self-diagnosis for ECM. Refer to EC-55, "
Emission-Related Diagnostic Information" (VQ35DE mod-
els) or EC-633, "
Emission-related Diagnostic Information" (VK45DE models).
Is any malfunction detec ted by self-diagnosis?
YES >> Check the malfunctioning system.
NO >> GO TO 3.
3.CHECK SYSTEM FOR AWD SOLENOID
Perform trouble diagnosis for AWD solenoid system. Refer to TF-25, "
DTC C1204 4WD SOLENOID".
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> Repair or replace damaged parts.
4.CHECK ELECTRIC CONTROLLED COUPLING
