No. Symptom Description
1 Frequent front wheel slip Front wheels slip frequently during acceleration on low-friction road.
2
Tight corner braking effectBrakes seem to be applied during tight cornering while driving very
slowly on paved road.
3 Abnormal noise and/or vibration from
coupling unitThere is abnormal noise and/or vibration from coupling unit during
driving.
1 Frequent front wheel slip
[TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS]
•Tire traction performance is extremely poor for given road friction. (4WD system is normal.)
•Improper wheel alignment (4WD system is normal.)
•Rear differential oil temperature is extremely high (Fail-safe condition)
•Differential oil temperature sensor malfunction (Fail-safe condition)
•Compare slip frequency with another vehicle of the same model (under the same road conditions and tire traction
performance).
•Replace tires with others of the same model and perform test under the same road conditions to determine if the
malfunction was caused by tire traction performance.
•Coupling component malfunction
•4WD solenoid malfunction

2 Tight corner braking
[TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS]
•Because the coupling component locks up easily (similar to direct 4WD), rotational difference between the front

•Due to the coupling component construction, slight tight corner braking effect occurs during tight cornering on a
paved road. (4WD system is okay. Compare with another same model vehicle to determine malfunction.)
