CAUTION:
 If CAN communication is displayed wi th other DTCs, first perform the trouble diagnosis for CAN communication line.
 If ABS operation signal, VDC operation signal or TCS operation signal is displayed, first perform the trouble diagnosis for ABS system.
 If Output shaft revolution signal is displayed, first perform the trouble diagnosis for A/T system.
NOTE:
 If actuator position switch or actuator circuit is displayed, first erase self-diagnostic results. (Actuator position switch o r actuator circuit
may be displayed after installing transfer control unit or transfer assembly.)
 If clutch pressure switch or line pressure switch is displayed only while driving in reverse, check the continuity of R positi on on trans-
mission range switch. When there is no malfunction found in the electrical system, check the hydraulic system.
