APPROX. ONE MINUTE, THEN DOES NOT ILLUMINATE.)
lWhile driving, 4WD warning lamp flashes rapidly. (When it flashes for Approx. One minute, then does not
illuminate.)
Rapid flashing: 2 times/second
This phenomenon protects drivetrain parts when a heavy load is applied to the electronically controlled
coupling and multiple disc clutch temperature increases. It is not a malfunction.
When the difference of revolution speed by or with the front and rear wheel with AUTO mode, the shift
switch occasionally changes to LOCK mode automatically. This is not a malfunction.
When the difference of revolution speed between the front and rear wheel with AUTO mode, the shift
switch occasionally changes to LOCK mode automatically. This is not a malfunction.
WHILE DRIVING, 4WD WARNING LAMP FLASHES SLOWLY. (WHEN IT CONTINUES TO ILLU-
MINATE UNTIL ENGINE TURNS OFF.)
1. Check using the data monitor function of the CONSULT-II.
lPerform inspection with the data monitor function of the CONSULT-II.
lCheck if the value of IMPROPER SIZE TIRE MONITOR is 8 mm (0.31 in) or more.
lStop the engine. Restart the engine and drive the vehicle at 20 km/h (12 MPH) or faster for approxi-
mately 200 seconds. Confirm the 4WD warning lamp flashes slowly.
(Check if the value of IMPROPER SIZE TIRE MONITOR is 8 mm (0.31 in) or more.)
When the tire size is normal, the value of IMPROPER SIZE TIRE MONITOR will change from 8 mm
(0.31 in) or more to 0 to 4 mm (0 to 0.16 in) (normal condition) after the vehicle is driven 20 km/h (12
MPH) or faster for approximately 5 seconds.
