While driving, AWD warning lamp flashes
rapidly. (When flashing in approx. 1 minute
and then turning OFF.)
Rapid flashing: 2 times/secondWhile drivingProtection function is activated due to
heavy load to electric controlled cou-

ing. Also, optional distribution of torque
sometimes becomes rigid before lamp
flashes rapidly, but it is not malfunction.)TF-36

5. CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL WITH UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP.
With CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch “ON”. (Do not start engine.)
2. Select “DATA MONITOR” mode for “METER A/C AMP” with CONSULT-II.
3. Start the engine, and then make sure that “4WD W/L” display
turns from "ON" to "OFF" after several seconds.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 6.
NG >> Perform trouble diagnoses for combination meter. Refer
to DI-13, "
How to Proceed With Trouble Diagnosis" .
6. CHECK SYMPTOM
Check again.
OK or NG
OK >>INSPECTION END
NG >> Replace unified meter control unit assembly. Refer to DI-26, "
Disassembly and Assembly for
Combination Meter" .

ADS000TZ
NOTE:
Light tight-corner braking symptom may occur depending on driving conditions. This is not malfunc-
tion.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
1. CHECK SYSTEM FOR CAN COMMUNICATION LINE
Perform self-diagnosis. Refer to TF-21, "
SELF-DIAG RESULT MODE" .
Is the
“CAN COMM CIRCUIT [U1000]” displayed?
YES >> Perform trouble diagnoses for CAN communication line. Refer to TF-31, "CAN Communication
Line" .
NO >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SIGNAL CIRCUIT
Perform self-diagnosis for ECM. Refer to EC-54, "
Emission-Related Diagnostic Information" (VQ35DE mod-
els) or EC-704, "
Emission-related Diagnostic Information" (VK45DE models).
Is any malfunction detected by self-diagnosis?
YES >> Check the malfunctioning system.
NO >> GO TO 3.
