DTC 91-1: SH-AWD Control Unit Programming Error

NOTE:
  • Before you troubleshoot, review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION  ).
  • DTC 91-1 is stored when the SH-AWD system update is not completed.
  • Do not turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode while updating the SH-AWD system. If you do, the SH-AWD system can be damaged.
  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
  2. Do the SH-AWD system update procedure (see SH-AWD® CONTROL UNIT UPDATE  ).
  3. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    Is DTC 91-1 indicated? 

    YES  - Substitute a known-good SH-AWD control unit (see SH-AWD® CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT  ), and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good SH-AWD control unit, replace the original SH-AWD control unit (see SH-AWD® CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT  ).

    NO  - Update is complete.
