TROUBLE DIAGNOSISPFP:00004
Fail-Safe FunctionNDS0009Y

If any malfunction occurs in AWD electrical system, and control unit detects the malfunction, AWD warn-
ing lamp on combination meter turns ON to indicate system malfunction.

When AWD warning lamp is ON, vehicle changes to rear-wheel drive or shifting driving force-AWD (Front-
wheels still have some driving torque).
How to Perform Trouble DiagnosisNDS0009Z
BASIC CONCEPT

To perform trouble diagnosis, it is the most important to have understanding about vehicle systems (con-
trol and mechanism) thoroughly.

It is also important to clarify customer complaints before inspec-
tion.
First of all, reproduce symptoms, and understand them fully.
Ask customer about his/her complaints carefully. In some cases,
it will be necessary to check symptoms by driving vehicle with
customer.
CAUTION:
Customers are not professional. It is dangerous to make an
easy guess like “maybe the customer means that...,” or
“maybe the customer mentions this symptom”.

It is essential to check symptoms right from the beginning in
order to repair malfunctions completely.
For intermittent malfunctions, reproduce symptoms based on
interview with customer and past examples. Do not perform
inspection on ad hoc basis. Most intermittent malfunctions are
caused by poor contacts. In this case, it will be effective to shake
suspected harness or connector by hand. When repairing with-
out any symptom diagnosis, you cannot judge if malfunctions
have actually been eliminated.

After completing diagnosis, always erase diagnostic memory.
Refer to TF-23, "
How to Erase Self-Diagnostic Results" .

For intermittent malfunctions, move harness or harness connec-
tor by hand. Then check for poor contact or reproduced open circuit.

ment of clutch is not possible.)
While driving, AWD warning lamp flashes
rapidly. (When flashing in approx. 1 minute
and then turning OFF.)
Rapid flashing: 2 times/second While driving Protection function is activated due to
heavy load to electric controlled cou-
pling. (AWD system is not malfunction-
ing. Also, optional distribution of torque
sometimes becomes rigid before lamp
flashes rapidly, but it is not malfunction.) TF-37
While driving, AWD warning lamp flashes
slowly. (When continuing to flash until turn-
ing ignition switch OFF)
Slow flashing: 1 time/2 seconds
While driving

Vehicle speed: 20 km/h
(12 MPH) or more Tire size is different between front and

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 diagnosis for combination meter. Refer to DI-16, "
Trouble Diagnosis" .
6. SYMPTOM CHECK
Check again.
OK or NG
OK >> INSPECTION END
NG >> Replace unified meter control unit assembly. Refer to DI-25, "

Heavy Tight-Corner Braking Symptom Occurs When The Vehicle Is Driven and
The Steering Wheel Is Turned Fully to Either Side after The Engine Is Started
NDS000AF
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-22, "
SELF-DIAG RESULT MODE" .
Is the
“CAN COMM CIRCUIT [U1000]” displayed?
YES >> Perform trouble diagnosis for CAN communication line. Refer to TF-32, "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-716, "
Emission-related Diagnostic Information" (VK45DE models).
Is any malfunction detected by self-diagnosis?
YES >> Check the malfunctioning system.
NO >> GO TO 3.
