4WD CONTROL MODUREA6E632227100205Function
•The 4WD control modure (4WD CM) calculates the optimal amount of torque distribution for the rear wheels
and outputs a corresponding electric current to the electronic control coupling (4WD solenoid). This calculation
is based on the throttle angle, four-wheel speed, engine speed, selector lever position, and other related input
signals, matched with the vehicle driving and road surface conditions.
Functions
Construction
•The 4WD CM is installed to the left of the brake pedal (clutch pedal position).
Block diagram
.
Function name Contents
4WD system control
function•Based on each input signal, the electronic control current sent to the electronic control coupling
(4WD solenoid) is optimally controlled.
Diagnostic system•If the self-diagnostic system detects a malfunction, the 4WD warning light illuminates to alert
the driver, and at the same time the system suspends control or performs other measures to
prevent a loss of driving stability and protect the system.
•The detected malfunction is stored as a DTC in the 4WD CM.
