INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1: Communication Between M.U.T.-III and AWC-ECU Cannot be Established
COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
If M.U.T.-III cannot communicate with the electronically controlled AWC system, the CAN
bus lines may have a problem. If the electronically controller AWC system is not in operation
(in case of no AWC operation), the AWC-ECU power supply circuit system or AWC-ECU may have a
problem.
PROBABLE CAUSES
- Damaged wiring harness and connectors
- AWC-ECU malfunction
|
STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics
|
|
Use M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Go to Step 2.
|
|
|
|
Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C -
Diagnosis, Can Bus Diagnostics
Table ). On completion, go to Step 2.
|
|
|
|
STEP 2. Voltage measurement at the AWC-ECU connector
|
|
(1)Disconnect the AWC-ECU connector.
|
|
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
|
|
(3)Measure the voltage between the AWC-ECU wiring harness side connector terminals
4WDF, IG16 (Ignition switch "ON") and the body earth. OK: System voltage
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Go to Step 3.
|
|
|
|
Repair the connector(s) or terminal(s) or wiring harness.
|
|
|
|
STEP 3. Resistance measurement at the AWC-ECU connector
|
|
(1)Disconnect the AWC-ECU connector.
|
|
(2)Measure the resistance between the AWC-ECU wiring harness side connector terminals
No. GND1 and the body earth. OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω
or less)
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Go to Step 4.
|
|
|
|
Repair the connector(s) or terminal(s) or wiring harness.
|
|
|
|
STEP 4. Retest the system.
|
|
Q.
Does the malfunction occur again?
|
|
Replace AWC-ECU (Refer to ). Then go to Step 5
.
|
|
|
|
The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 -
How
to Use Troubleshooting/How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions).
|
|
|
|
STEP 5. Retest the system.
|
|
Q.
Does the malfunction occur again?
|
|
Diagnose again from Step 1.
|
|
|
|
This diagnosis is complete.
