Electronic Control Coupling Solenoid (Front) Check (Vehicles With S-AWC)

Disconnect the electronic control coupling solenoid connector, and measure the resistance value between the connector terminals on the electronic control coupling side. If the measured resistance value is out of the standard value range, replace the transfer assembly (Refer to TRANSFER ASSEMBLY (AWD) (CVT) or TRANSFER ASSEMBLY (A/T)).
Standard value: 1.8 - 4.0?
Measure the resistance value between the connector terminal No. 1 on the electronic control coupling side and the body ground. If the continuity exists, replace the transfer assembly (Refer to TRANSFER ASSEMBLY (AWD) (CVT) or TRANSFER ASSEMBLY (A/T)).
