Diagnostic Procedure

  1. STEP 1. Scan tool (M.U.T.-III) CAN bus diagnostics 

    Use Scan tool (M.U.T.-III) to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

    Q: Is the check result normal? 

    YES  : Go to Step  2.

    NO  : Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to - Diagnosis, CAN BUS DIAGNOSTICS TABLE ). On completion, go to Step  2.

  2. STEP 2. Voltage measurement at the AWC-ECU connector 
    1. Disconnect the AWC-ECU connector.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
    3. Measure the voltage between the AWC-ECU wiring harness side connector terminals BATT, IG1 (Ignition switch "ON") and the body ground.

      OK: System voltage 

    Q: Is the check result normal? 

    YES  : Go to Step  3.

    NO  : Repair the connector(s) or terminal(s) or wiring harness.

  3. STEP 3. Resistance measurement at the AWC-ECU connector 
    1. Disconnect the AWC-ECU connector.
    2. Measure the resistance between the AWC-ECU wiring harness side connector terminals No. GND1 and the body ground.

      OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less) 

    Q: Is the check result normal? 

    YES  : Go to Step  4.

    NO  : Repair the connector(s) or terminal(s) or wiring harness.

  4. STEP 4. Retest the system. 

    Q: Does the malfunction occur again? 

    YES  : Replace AWC-ECU (Refer to AWC-ECU <VEHICLES WITH S-AWC> ). Then go to Step  5.

    NO  : The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to - How to Use Troubleshooting/HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONS ).

  5. STEP 5. Retest the system. 

    Q: Does the malfunction occur again? 

    YES  : Diagnose again from Step  1.

    NO  : This diagnosis is complete.
