ACTUATOR TEST REFERENCE TABLE
The following items can be tested by driving the corresponding actuator forcibly using the MUT-II.
Item No.Check itemChecking requirementsNormal value
10Air bleedingSupply current to proportioning
valve in accordance with steering
angle to operate directional valve.No air is to be bled from the
bleeder plug on the torque transfer
differential.
11Oil level checkLet the directional valve operate to
left and right 20 times.To be checked by oil level in
reservoir tank.
12Electric pump operationLet the electric pump operate for 5
seconds.Operation sounds of the electric
pump are to be heard.
13Clutch operation (left)Let the directional valve operate to
supply the maximum pressure to the
left clutch.The operation conditions are to be
checked by the speed difference
between left and right rear wheels
with the wheels raised. For details,
refer to AYC Operation Check on
P.27-34.
14Clutch operation (right)Let the directional valve operate to
supply the maximum pressure to the
right clutch.The operation conditions are to be
checked by the speed difference
between left and right rear wheels
with the wheels raised. For details,
refer to AYC Operation Check on
P.27-34.
15Control OFFTurn off the electric pump relay to
deactivate AYC control.During the test run, some
differences are to be recognized in
running behaviors between when
the system is ON and when it is
OFF.
NOTE
(1) The actuator test is feasible only when the following requirements are all satisfied.

All of inputs from four wheel speed sensors show 20 km/h or lower.

No system failure is registered.

The steering angle is within ±30 deg. from the neutral position.
(2) The actuator test comes to an end when either of the following conditions is met since the forced
actuation is canceled.

Either of inputs from four wheel sensors shows higher than 20 km/h (with exception of Item
No.15 “Control OFF”).

Some trouble with the system is registered.

Forced activation time expires.

MUT-II is removed.

The clear key of MUT-II is operated.

Open-circuited harnessRepair harness.
Improperly mounted wheel speed sensorCorrect sensor installation.
Missing or collapsed ABS rotor toothReplace ABS rotor.
Caution
Since the wheel speed sensor cable follows the movement of the front or rear suspension, it
may be open-circuited only when the vehicle is run on rough roads and not on ordinary road.
The wheel speed sensor output voltage waveform should therefore be checked also by rocking
the sensor harness so that driving on rough roads may be simulated.
ACTION WHEN BATTERY RUNS OUT
When the engine is started using a booster cable where the
battery has completely run down and you attempt to start
the vehicle without waiting for the battery to recover a certain
charge, the engine can misfire and you just cannot start to
move it. In such cases, charge the battery sufficiently; or,
remove the AYC fusible link from the engine compartment
relay box to make AYC inactive before attempting to start
the vehicle. When the fusible link is removed, the AYC warning
lamp lights up. After the battery has been recharged, fit the
fusible link back again and start the engine to ensure that
the AYC warning lamp is off.AYC fusible link
