CONSULT-III FunctionINFOID:0000000006222226
FUNCTION
CONSULT-III can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes as follows.
*: The following diagnosis information is erased by erasing.
DTC
ECU IDENTIFICATION
Transfer control unit part number can be read.
SELF DIAGNOSTIC RESULT
Refer to DLN-29, "DTC Index".
When "0" is displayed on self-diagnosis result.
 The system is presently malfunctioning.
When except "0" is displayed on self-diagnosis result. System malfunction in the past is detec ted, but the system is presently normal.
NOTE:
Each time when ignition switch is turned OFF to ON, numerical number increases in 1 →2→ 3...110 →111 .
When the operation number of times exceeds 111, the number do not increase and “111” is displayed until
self-diagnosis is erased
*.
*: For “U1000” and “U1010”, the maximum value is “39”.

Fail-SafeINFOID:0000000006222228
 If any malfunction occurs in 4WD electrical system, and control unit detects the malfunction, 4WD warning
lamp on combination meter turns ON to indicate system malfunction.
 When 4WD warning lamp is ON, vehicle changes to rear-wheel drive or shifts to 4-wheel drive (front-wheels
still have some driving torque).
