For right stroke, connect positive probe to the RAS motor con-
nector terminal 1. For left stroke, connect it to the terminal 2.
5. Install rear wheel steering angle sensor with O-ring to the RAS
actuator assembly. Temporarily tighten the mounting bolts in the specified torque that the sensor can be
moved by hand.
6. Turn and adjust the rear wheel steering angle sensor so as to make each sensor signal of “DATA MONI-
TOR” mode to the following standard with CONSULT-II.

in this procedure.
7. Tighten rear wheel steering angle sensor mounting bolts.
8. Perform “ERASE” with CONSULT-II, and then erase the error memory of rear wheel steering angle sen-
sor. Refer to STC-29, "

AWD SYSTEM
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
AWD SYSTEMPFP:41650
Power Transfer DiagramNDS000DB
System DescriptionNDS000DC
DESCRIPTION

Electronic control allows optimal distribution of torque to front/rear wheels to match road conditions.

Makes possible stable driving, with no wheel spin, on snowy roads or other slippery surfaces.

On roads which do not require AWD, it contributes to improved fuel economy by driving in conditions close
to rear-wheel drive.

Sensor inputs determine the vehicle's turning condition, and in response tight cornering/braking are con-
trolled by distributing optimum torque to front wheels.
NOTE:

When driving, if there is a large difference between front and rear wheel speed which continues for a long
time, fluid temperature of drive system parts becomes too high and AWD warning lamp flashes rapidly.
(When AWD warning lamp flashes, vehicle changes to rear-wheel drive conditions.) Also, optional distri-
bution of torque sometimes becomes rigid before lamp flashes rapidly, but it is not malfunction.

If AWD warning lamp is flashing rapidly, stop vehicle and allow it to idle for some time. Flashing will stop
and AWD system will be restored.

When driving, AWD warning lamp may flash slowly if there is a significant difference in diameter of the
tires. At this time, vehicle performance is not fully available and cautious driving is required. (Continues
until engine is turned OFF.)

If the warning lamp flashes slowly during driving but remains OFF after engine is restarted, the system is
normal. If it again flashes slowly after driving for some time, vehicle must be inspected.

When the difference of revolution speed between the front and rear wheel the shift occasionally changes
to direct 4-wheel driving conditions automatically. This is not malfunction.

ELECTRIC CONTROLLED COUPLING
Operation Principle
1. AWD control unit supplies command current to electric controlled coupling (AWD solenoid).
2. Control clutch is engaged by electromagnet and torque is detected in control clutch.
3. The cam operates in response to control clutch torque and applies pressure to main clutch.
4. Main clutch transmits torque to front wheels according to pressing power.

Transmission torque to front wheels is determined according
to command current.
AWD CONTROL UNIT

Controls distribution of drive power between rear-wheel drive
(0:100) and AWD (50:50) conditions according to signals from
sensors.

Self-diagnosis can be done with CONSULT-II.

AWD WARNING LAMP
Turns ON when there is a malfunction in AWD system. It indicates that fail-safe mode is engaged and vehicle
change to rear-wheel drive or shifting driving force-AWD (Front-wheels still have some driving torque).
Also turns ON when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check. Turns OFF approximately for 1
seconds after the engine starts if system is normal.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSISPFP:00004
Fail-Safe FunctionNDS000DF

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 DiagnosisNDS000DG
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-22, "
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.

Do not include the spare tire when rotating tires.
CAUTION:

When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by divid-
ing the work two to three times in order to prevent the
wheels from developing any distortion.

Be careful not to tighten wheel nut at torque exceeding
the criteria for preventing strain of disc rotor.
