1. Run the vehicle to warm up the transfer unit sufficiently.
2. Stop the engine, and remove the drain plug to drain the transfer
fluid.
CAUTION:
When draining fluid, protect exhaust tube flange with cover.
3. Apply sealant to drain plug. Install drain plug on transfer and
tighten to the specified torque. Refer to TF-45, "
COMPO-
NENTS" .

Use Genuine Silicone RTV or equivalent. Refer to GI-47,
"Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants" .
CAUTION:
Remove old sealant adhering to mounting surfaces. Also
remove any moisture, oil, or foreign material adhering to application and mounting surfaces.
FILLING
1. Remove filler plug and add transfer fluid until fluid level reaches
the specified limit near filler plug mounting hole.
CAUTION:
Carefully fill the fluid. (Fill up for approx. 3 minutes.)
2. Leave the vehicle for 3 minutes, and check the fluid level again.
3. Set a new gasket onto filler plug and install it on transfer and
tighten to the specified torque. Refer to TF-45, "
COMPO-
NENTS" .
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.
InspectionNDS000DA
FLUID LEAKAGE AND FLUID LEVEL
1. Check if fluid is leaking from transfer or around it.
2. Check fluid level from filler plug mounting hole as shown in the
figure.
CAUTION:
Never start engine while checking fluid level.
3. Before installing filler plug, set a new gasket. Install filler plug on
transfer and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to TF-45,
"COMPONENTS" .
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.

COMPONENTS FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
CAN CommunicationNDS000DE
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
For details, refer to LAN-50, "
CAN System Specification Chart" .
Component parts Function
AWD control unit

Controls driving force distribution by signals from each sensor and switch from rear wheel driving
mode (0:100) to AWD mode (50:50).

2WD mode is available by fail-safe function if malfunction is detected in AWD system.
Wheel sensors Detects wheel speed.
AWD solenoid Controls electric controlled coupling by command current from AWD control unit.
Electric controlled coupling Transmits driving force to front final drive.
AWD warning lamp

Illuminates if malfunction is detected in electrical system of AWD system.

There is 1 blink in 2 seconds if rotation difference of front wheels and rear wheels is large.

There are 2 blinks in 1 second if load is still applied to driving parts.
ABS actuator and electric unit
(control unit)Transmits the following signals via CAN communication to AWD control unit.

Vehicle speed signal

Stop lamp switch signal (brake signal)
ECMTransmits the following signals via CAN communication to AWD control unit.

Accelerator pedal position signal

Engine speed signal
Unified meter and A/C amp. Transmits conditions of parking brake switch via CAN communication to AWD control unit.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR SYSTEM
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
4. CHECK AWD SOLENOID
1. Turn ignition switch “OFF”.
2. Disconnect transfer assembly harness connector.
3. Check resistance between transfer assembly harness connector
F43 terminals 1 and 2.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 5.
NG >> AWD solenoid is malfunctioning. Replace electric con-
trolled coupling. Refer to TF-45, "
Disassembly and
Assembly" .
5. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN AWD CONTROL UNIT AND AWD SOLENOID
1. Turn ignition switch “OFF”.
2. Disconnect AWD control unit harness connector and transfer assembly harness connector.
3. Check continuity between the following terminals.
–AWD control unit harness connector F109 terminal 1 and trans-
fer assembly harness connector F43 terminal 1.
–AWD control unit harness connector F109 terminal 2 and trans-
fer assembly harness connector F43 terminal 2.
Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 6.
NG >> Repair or replace damaged parts.
6. CHECK AWD CONTROL UNIT
Check AWD control unit input/output signal. Refer to TF-20, "
AWD Control Unit Input/Output Signal Reference
Va l u e s" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 7.
NG >> Check AWD control unit pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector. If
any items are damaged, repair or replace damaged parts.
7. CHECK DTC
Perform the self-diagnosis, after driving a vehicle for a while.
OK or NG
OK >>INSPECTION END
NG >> Replace AWD control unit.
COMPONENT INSPECTION
1. Turn ignition switch “OFF”.
2. Disconnect transfer assembly harness connector. 1 - 2 : Approx. 2.45Ω

While Driving, AWD Warning Lamp Flashes Rapidly (When Flashing in Approx.
1 Minute and Then Turning OFF)
NDS000DY
NOTE:
Rapid flashing: 2 times/second
This symptom protects drivetrain parts when a heavy load is applied to the electric controlled coupling and
multiple disc clutch temperature increases. Also, optional distribution of torque sometimes becomes rigid
before lamp flashes rapidly. Both cases are not malfunction.
When this symptom occurs, stop vehicle and allow it to idle for some times. Flashing will stop and system will
be restored.
While Driving, AWD Warning Lamp Flashes Slowly (When Continuing to Flash
until Turning Ignition Switch OFF)
NDS000DZ
NOTE:
Slow flashing: 1 time/2 seconds
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
1. CHECK TIRE
Check the following.

Tire pressure

Wear condition

Longitudinal tire size (There is no difference between longitudinal tires.)
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Drive at vehicle speed of 20 km/h (12 MPH) or more for 5 seconds or more after repairing or
replacing damaged parts. (Initialize improper size tire information.)
