  4. Set the wheel to the neutral position, and carry out the special function test No. 4 "Control OFF".
  5. Rotate the left-front tire counterclockwise by your hand, and check that the right-front tire makes reverse rotation against the left-front tire.

    NOTE: Time limit for the special function test No. 5 "Front coupling operation check" is 1 minute.
  8. Rotate the left-front tire counterclockwise by your hand, and check that the right-front tire rotates to the same direction, viewed from the left-front tire.

    Carry out the check above. Then when the tire operates as mentioned, it is judged that the AWC-ECU control and electronic control coupling (front) are normal. If the tire does not operate as mentioned, replace the transfer assembly. (Refer to TRANSFER ASSEMBLY < AWD >  < CVT > or TRANSFER ASSEMBLY < A/T >.)
