VTM-4 Control Unit Replacement

NOTE:
^ There are two different VTM-4 control units available. LX and EX are non-VSA models, and EX-L models are equipped with VSA. If a VTM-4 control unit for a non VSA model is installed in a model with VSA, DTC 45 will be set.
^ The VTM-4 control unit must be initialized after replacement, otherwise the 4WD system will not function.

1. Remove the jack cover and jack.
2. Remove the fuel filler door latch from the body by turning it 90 degrees.





3. Loosen the three nuts (A).
4. Disconnect the VTM-4 control unit connectors (B).
