Code No.61: ASTC-ECU system
OPERATION
If the ASTC (active skid and traction control) system is
activated, the ASTC-ECU sends a signal to the transfer-ECU. The transfer-ECU
illuminates the relevant wheel of the 4WD indicator light according to the
signal.
DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS
If there is a communication error
with the ASTC-ECU (i.e. simultaneous open circuit in all signal lines), code
No.61 is set.
PROBABLE CAUSES
- Damaged harness wires and connectors
- Malfunction of the ASTC system
- Malfunction of the transfer-ECU
|
STEP 1. Check the ASTC system.
|
|
Refer to GROUP 35C - Troubleshooting,
Inspection Chart for Diagnosis Code .
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Go to Step 2.
|
|
|
|
Repair
or replace the ASTC system component(s).
|
|
|
|
STEP 2. Measure the voltage at transfer-ECU connector
D-124.
|
|
(1)Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
|
|
(2)Measure the voltage between transfer-ECU connector D-124
terminal No.6, 8, 10, 19 and earth. OK: 1 V or
less

(terminal No.6, No.8, No.10 and No.19) and ASTC-ECU connector D-223
(terminal No.73, No.71, No.72 and No.79).
|
|
Check the output line for open
circuit.

the wiring harness.
|
|
|
|
STEP 5. Connector check: D-124 transfer-ECU connector.
|
|
Check for the contact with terminals.
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Go to Step 6.
|
|
|
|
Repair
the defective connector.
|
|
|
|
STEP 6. Replace the transfer-ECU.
|
|
(1)Replace the transfer-ECU.
|
|
(2)Test drive the vehicle.
|
|
(3)Check if the diagnosis code is set.
|
|
