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.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
SELF-DIAG RESULT MODE
Drive at 30 km/h or more for approximately 1 minute before performing the self-diagnosis.
Display Item List
CAUTION:
 If “CAN COMM CIRCUIT [U1000]” is displayed with other DTCs, first perform the trouble diagnosis for CAN communication
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 turn- ing 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
Before erasing DTC memory, start the engine and drive at 30 km/h or more for approximately 1 minute.
Checkthat ABS warning lamp turns OFF.
NOTE:
Make sure that ABS warning lamp turns OFF by driv ing 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 malfunc-
tion of “ABS SYSTE M [C1203]”. AWD warning lamp may not turn OFF if it is normal unless ignition
switch turns OFF at once and engine restarts after that.
