TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS — INTRODUCTION

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS — INTRODUCTIONPFP:00000
IntroductionEDS0017W
DESCRIPTION
When a malfunction (indicated by the 4WD warning lamp illumination) occurs, collect information first from the
customer about how the malfunction occurs. Then, proceed with the diagnosis presuming it is the cause. Also
inspect the electrical system, paying close attention to other possibilities such as fluid level and leaks.
All-mode 4WD transfer is controlled by transfer control unit and sensors.
If a malfunction occurs in the all-mode 4WD system, the 4WD warning lamp lights up to inform of the system
malfunction. There are two ways to identify the cause of the malfunction.
1. Performing the self-diagnosis. (The 4WD warning lamp will indicate what kind of malfunction has occurred
by flickering.)
2. Performing diagnosis using CONSULT-II.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS — BASIC INSPECTIONPFP:00000
Listen to Customer ComplaintsEDS0017Y

Each customer feels differently about a problem. It is important to fully understand the symptoms or condi-
tions for a customer complaint.

Listen to the customer about how and when the malfunction occurs, and make good use of it when per-
forming the road test.
Transfer Fluid CheckEDS0017Z

Check fluid for leaks and fluid level. Refer to TF-47, "Transfer Fluid Check" .
Road TestEDS00180
PREPARATION FOR ROAD TEST

The purpose of the test is to determine overall performance of
transfer and analyze causes of problems.

When a malfunction is found in any part of transfer, perform the
road test to locate the malfunction area and repair the malfunc-
tion parts.

The road test consists of the following three parts:
1. Check before engine is started
2. Check at idle
3. Cruise test

Perform road test and place checks for NG items on the diag-
nostic worksheet. Refer to TF-44, "
Diagnostic Worksheet" .
