DTC Troubleshooting
Step Action Yes No
1
Was “4WD control system check” performed?
Go to Step 2.
2
Rear drive coupling air temperature sensor signal circuit and rear drive coupling air temperature sensor ground circuit check
1)Disconnect “L14” and rear drive coupling air temperature sensor connectors with ignition “OFF”.
2)Check for proper connection to 4WD control module and rear drive coupling air temperature sensor.
3)If connections are OK, check the following points.
•Resistance of “A1” and “A2” circuits: less than 1 Ω
•Resistance between “A1” circuit and ground: infinity
•Resistance between “A1” circuit terminal and other terminal at rear drive coupling air temperature sensor connector: infinity
•Voltage of “A1” circuit: approx. 0 V (When ignition is “ON”)
Is check result OK?
Go to Step 3.
Repair or replace defective wire harness.
