Diagnostic Procedure

With CONSULT-II 

1. Start engine.
2. Select "DATA MONITOR" mode for "ALL MODE AWD/4WD" with CONSULT-II.
3. Read out the value of "WAIT DETCT SW".
   VEHICLE SPEED CONDITION
   
   

   Condition		Display value
   Vehicle stopped Engine running For A/T models, A/T selector lever "N" position with brake pedal depressed. For M/T models, M/T shift lever neutral position with clutch and brake pedal depressed.	4WD shift switch: 4H and 4LO	ON
   	4WD shift switch: 2WD	OFF

   Connector	Terminal	Condition		Voltage (Approx.)
   M152	17 - Ground	Vehicle stopped Engine running For A/T models, A/T selector lever "N" position with brake pedal depressed. For M/T models, M/T shift lever neutral position with clutch and brake pedal depressed.	4WD shift switch: 4H and 4LO	0V
   			4WD shift switch: 2WD	Battery voltage

OK or NG 

1. OK: GO TO  5.
2. NG: GO TO 2.

1. Turn ignition switch "OFF". (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)
2. Disconnect transfer control unit harness connector and the wait detection switch harness connector.
3. Check continuity between transfer control unit harness connector M152 terminal 17 and wait detection switch harness connector F59 terminal 10.

   Continuity should exist  .

   Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

OK or NG 

1. OK: GO TO 3.
2. NG: Repair or replace damaged parts.

Check transfer control unit input/output signal. Refer to , "TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL REFERENCE VALUES ".

OK or NG 

1. OK: GO TO 6.
2. NG: Check transfer control unit pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector. If any items are damaged, repair or replace damaged parts.

Perform the self-diagnosis, after driving a vehicle for a while.

OK or NG 

1. OK: Inspection End.
2. NG: Replace transfer control unit. Refer to , "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ".
