Code No.C1610: AWC Power Supply Electronic Relay Malfunction




OPERATION


A relay is incorporated in AWC-ECU, and the power is supplied to the actuator via this relay.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS


This diagnosis code is set when the actuator power supply voltage is less than 6 V while the actuator power supply relay in the AWC-ECU is ON.

PROBABLE CAUSES




DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. Measure the resistance at the AWC-ECU connector.


(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Resistance between AWC-ECU connector terminal FSL+, FSL- and body earth.
OK: No continuity

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.
Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the wiring harness between electronic control coupling solenoid (front) connector and AWC-ECU connector terminal FSL+, FSL-.


Check the power supply, earth line for short circuit (for short to the power supply).

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.
Repair the defective connector or the wiring harness. Then go to Step 7.

STEP 3. Check of the electronic control coupling solenoid (front)


Refer to .

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 4.
Replace the transfer assembly (Refer to ). Then go to Step 7.

STEP 4. Measure the resistance at the AWC-ECU connector.


(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Resistance between AWC-ECU connector terminal SOL+, SOL- and body earth.
OK: No continuity

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6.
Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check the wiring harness between electronic control coupling solenoid (centre) connector and AWC-ECU connector terminal SOL+, SOL-.


Check the power supply, earth line for short circuit (for short to the power supply).

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6.
Repair the defective connector or the wiring harness. Then go to Step 7.

STEP 6. Check of the electronic control coupling solenoid (centre)


Refer to GROUP 27C - On-vehicle Service.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 7.
Replace the electronic control coupling (centre) (Refer to GROUP 27C - Electronic control coupling). Then go to Step 7.

STEP 7. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.


Q. Is diagnosis code No.C1610 set?

Replace the AWC-ECU (Refer to ). Then go to Step 8.
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction).

STEP 8. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.


Q. Is diagnosis code No.C1610 set?

Return to Step 1.
This diagnosis is complete.
