U1010 CONTROL UNIT (CAN)
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005912150
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication
line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication s peed 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 CA N 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 communicate data but selectively reads required data only.

DTC DETECTION LOGIC
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1.DTC REPRODUCTION PROCEDURE
With CONSULT-III
1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
2. Perform transfer control unit self-diagnosis. Refer to DLN-18, "CONSULT-III Function (ALL MODE AWD/
4WD)".
Is DTC U1010 detected?
YES >> Proceed to diagnosis procedure. Refer to DLN-80, "Diagnosis Procedure".
NO >> Inspection End.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000005912152
1.CHECK TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT CONNECTOR
Check transfer control unit connectors for disconnection and deformation.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Replace transfer control unit. Refer to DLN-130, "Removal and Installation".
NO >> Repair or replace parts as necessary.

If 4WD warning lamp turns ON, perform self-diagnosis. Refer to
DLN-18, "CONSULT-III Function (ALL MODE AWD/4WD)".
NOTE:
 Light tight-corner braking symptom may occur depending on driving conditions in AUTO mode. This is not a
malfunction.
 Heavy tight-corner braking symptom occurs when vehicle is driven in the following conditions: 4WD shift
switch is 4H or 4LO, steering wheel is turned fully to either side.
