OK: Normal condition are displayed.

Q. Are the check result normal?

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the drive mode-selector.


Refer to .

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.
Replace the drive mode-selector (Refer to ).

STEP 3. Resistance measurement at the drive mode-selector connector (earth terminal).


(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Measure the resistance between the drive mode-selector connector (earth terminal) and body earth.
(3)OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.
Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check of open circuit in earth line between the drive mode-selector connector and body earth.


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 5. Check of short to power supply, short to earth, and open circuit in 2H line between transfer-ECU and drive mode-selector connector.


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 6. Check of short to power supply, short to earth, and open circuit in 4HLc line between transfer-ECU and drive mode-selector connector.


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 7.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 7. Check of short to power supply, short to earth, and open circuit in 4LLc line between transfer-ECU and drive mode-selector connector.


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 8.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 8. Check of short to power supply, short to earth, and open circuit in 4H line between transfer-ECU and drive mode-selector connector.


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 9.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 9. Retest the system


Check that the drive mode-selector functions work normally.

Q. Is the check result normal?

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
Replace the transfer-ECU (Refer to ).
