 Before replacing AWD control unit, perform AWD control unit
input/output signal inspection and make sure whether AWD
control unit functions properly or not. Refer to TF-20, "

Service Notice or PrecautionINFOID:0000000001327425
 Do not reuse transfer fluid, once it has been drained.
 Check the fluid level or replace the fluid only with the vehicle parked on level ground.
 During removal or installation, keep inside of transfer clear of dust or dirt.
 Replace all tires at the same time. Always use tires of the proper size and the same brand and pattern. Fit-
ting improper size and unusual wear tires applies excessive force to vehicle mechanism and can cause lon-
gitudinal vibration.
 Disassembly should be done in a clean work area, it is preferable to work in dustproof area.
 Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the tr ansfer. It is important to prevent the internal
parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
 All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or
reassembly.
 Check for the correct installation status prior to remo val or disassembly. If matching marks are required, be
certain they do not interfere with t he function of the parts when applied.
 Check appearance of the disassembled parts for dam age, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them
with a new ones if necessary.
 Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time when the transfer is disassembled.
 In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If tight-
ening sequence is specified, use it.
 Observe the specified torque when assembling.
 Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow-dry them.
 Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
 Clean innerparts with lint-free cloth or towels. Do not use cotton work gloves and rags to prevent adhering
fibers.

AWD SYSTEM
Power Transfer DiagramINFOID:0000000001327431
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001327432
DESCRIPTION
 Electronic control allows optimal distribution of torque to front/rear wheels to match road conditions.
 Makes possible stable driving, with no wheel sp in, on snowy roads or other slippery surfaces.
 On roads which do not require AWD, it contributes to improved fuel economy by driving in conditions close to
rear-wheel drive.
 Sensor inputs determine the vehicle's turning conditi on, and in response tight cornering/braking are con-
trolled by distributing optimum torque to front wheels.
NOTE:
 When driving, if there is a large difference between front and rear wheel speed which continues for a long
time, fluid temperature of drive system parts becom es too high and AWD warning lamp flashes rapidly.
(When AWD warning lamp flashes, vehicle changes to r ear-wheel drive conditions.) Also, optional distribu-
tion of torque sometimes becomes rigid before lamp flashes rapidly, but it is not malfunction.
 If AWD warning lamp is flashing rapidly, stop vehicle and allow it to idle for some time. Flashing will stop and AWD system will be restored.
 When driving, AWD warning lamp may flash slowly if ther e is a significant difference in diameter of the tires.
At this time, vehicle performance is not fully avail able and cautious driving is required. (Continues until
engine is turned OFF.)
 If the warning lamp flashes slowly during driving but remains OFF after engine is restarted, the system is
normal. If it again flashes slowly after driving for some time, vehicle must be inspected.
 When the difference of revolution speed between the front and rear wheel mode the shift occasionally
changes to direct 4-wheel driving conditions automatically. This is not malfunction.

AWD SYSTEM
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 accordingto 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 sen-
sors.
 Self-diagnosis can be done with CONSULT-III.
AWD WARNING LAMP
Turns ON when there is a malfunction in AWD system. It indicates that fail-safe mode is engaged and vehicle
change to rear-wheel drive or shifting driving force- AWD (Front-wheels still have some driving torque).
Also turns ON when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check. Turns OFF approximately for 1
seconds after the engine starts if system is normal.

ALUMINUM WHEEL
1. Check tires for wear and improper inflation.
2. Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage. If deformed, remove wheel and check wheel runout.
a. Remove tire from aluminum wheel and mount on a tire balance machine.
b. Set dial indicator as shown in the illustration.
c. If the total runout value exceeds the limit, replace aluminum wheel.
STEEL WHEEL (FOR EMERGENCY USE)
1. Check tires for wear and improper inflation.
2. Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage. If deformed, remove wheel and check wheelrunout.
a. Remove tire from steel wheel and mount wheel on a tire balance machine.
b. Set two dial indicators as shown in the illustration.
c. Set each dial indicator to “0”.
d. Rotate wheel and check dial indicators at several points around the circumference of the wheel.
e. Calculate runout at each point as shown below.
f. Select maximum positive runout value and the maximum nega- tive value. Add the two values to determine total runout.
CAUTION:
In case a positive or negative val ue is not available, use the
maximum value (negative or positive) for total runout.
g. If the total runout value exceeds the limit, replace steel wheel.

d. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install two balance weight sheets in line with each other as shown in
the figure.
CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weig ht sheet on top of another.
3. Start tire balance machine again.
4. Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the tire balance machine indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Do not install more than two balance weights.
5. Start tire balance machine. Make sure that inner and outer resid- ual unbalance values are 5 g (0.2 oz) each or below.
6. If either residual unbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.2 oz), repeat installation procedures.
Tire RotationINFOID:0000000001327575
1. Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals. Refer to MA-5, "Introduction of Peri-
odic Maintenance".
2. Do not include the spare tire when rotating the tires.
3. When installing the wheel, tighten wheel nuts to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
 When installing wheels, tighten th em diagonally by dividing the work two to three times in order
to prevent the wheels from developing any distortion.
 Be careful not to tighten wheel nut at torque exceeding the criteria for preventing strain of disc
rotor.
4. Perform the ID registration, after tire rotation. Refer to WT-19, "
ID Registration Procedure".

Transmitter Wake Up OperationINFOID:0000000001327583
W I T H A C T I VAT I O N T O O L
1. With the transmitter activation tool (J-45295) pushed against the
front-left transmitter, press the button for 5 seconds.
 When ignition switch ON, as the low tire pressure warninglamp blinks per the following diagram, the respective transmit-
ter then must be woken up.
2. Register the ID of wheel that low tire pressure warning lamp flashes. When wake up of registered wheel
has been completed, turn signal lamp flashes two times.
3. After completing wake up all transmitters, make sure low tire pressure warning lamp goes out.
Self-DiagnosisINFOID:0000000001327584
DESCRIPTION
During driving, the low tire pressure warning syste m receives the signal transmitted from the transmitter
installed in each wheel, and gives alarms when the tire pressure becomes low. The control unit (BCM) of this
system has pressure judgment and trouble diagnosis functions.
FUNCTION
When the low tire pressure warning system detects low inflation pressure or another unusual symptom, the
warning lamps in the combination meter comes on. To start the self-diagnostic results mode, ground terminal
of the tire pressure warning check connector. The malf unction location is indicated by the warning lamp flash-
ing and the buzzer sounds.
