Clutch Force Release Limit Adjustment
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.
3. Display changes to “NOW ADJUSTING” in a short time.
4. When clutch force release limit value is set to “1.2 kgm”, current
value “0.3 kgm ” shown on display will be replaced by “1.2 kgm”
and “ADJUSTMENT COMPLETE ” will appear at the same time.
Clutch force release limit value setting is now complete.
Self-diagnostic ProcedureEDS002HL
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (WITH CONSULT-II)
Refer to TF-45, "SELF-DIAG RESULT MODE" .
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (WITHOUT CONSULT-II)
Description
If the engine starts when there is something wrong with the 4WD system, the 4WD warning lamp turns ON or
flickers in the combination meter. When the system functions properly, the warning lamp turns ON when the
ignition switch is turned to “ON”, and it turns OFF after engine starts. To locate the cause of a problem, start
the self-diagnosis function. The 4WD warning lamp in the combination meter will indicate the problem area by
flickering according to the self-diagnostic results. As for the details of the 4WD warning lamp flickering pat-
terns, refer to TF-51, "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
1.2 kg-m : Tight corner braking symptom is allevi-
ated. 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.
