ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
It is possible to deal with these symptoms by changing “CLUTCH FORCE RELEASE LIMIT VALUE”.
However, be careful when changing the values because it may adversely affect driving performance.
NOTE:
A slight shock is felt at a few hertz as if it were being pushed lightly from behind.
CONSULT-II Setting Procedure
1. Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position.
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CON-
VERTER, malfunctions might be detected in self-diagnosis
depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.
2. Connect CONSULT-II and CONSULT-II CONVERTER to data
link connector.
3. Turn ignition switch to “ON” position.
4. Touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)”.
5. Touch “ALL MODE AWD/4WD”.
If "ALL MODE AWD/4WD" is not indicated, refer to GI-39,
"CONSULT-II Data Link Connector (DLC) Circuit" .
6. Touch “WORK SUPPORT”.
7. Select WORK ITEM by touching “CLUTCH/F RLS LIM ADJ”.
CLUTCH FORCE RELEASE LIMIT ADJUSTMENT
1.2 kg-m: Tight corner braking symptom is alleviated. However, vibration may occur when accelerating on a
low µ road (icy road, etc.).
0.3 kg-m: Initial set value
0.2 kg-m: Do not set to this value because the tight corner braking symptom will get worse.
1. Current CLUTCH FORCE RELEASE LIMIT value “0.3 kgm”
appears under “CONDITION SETTING” on CONSULT-II display.
2. Touch “1.2” on the display.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS — INTRODUCTION
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS — INTRODUCTIONPFP:00000
IntroductionEDS0017W
DESCRIPTION
When a malfunction (indicated by the 4WD warning lamp illumination) occurs, collect information first from the
customer about how the malfunction occurs. Then, proceed with the diagnosis presuming it is the cause. Also
inspect the electrical system, paying close attention to other possibilities such as fluid level and leaks.
All-mode 4WD transfer is controlled by transfer control unit and sensors.
If a malfunction occurs in the all-mode 4WD system, the 4WD warning lamp lights up to inform of the system
malfunction. There are two ways to identify the cause of the malfunction.
1. Performing the self-diagnosis. (The 4WD warning lamp will indicate what kind of malfunction has occurred
by flickering.)
2. Performing diagnosis using CONSULT-II.
