Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR CONDITION
•  Inspect the differential oil temperature sensor.
•  Is the differential oil temperature sensor normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace differential oil temperature sensor, then go to Step 7.
2
INSPECT 4WD CM TO DIFFERENTIAL OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
•  Switch the ignition off.
•  Disconnect 4WD CM connector.
•  Disconnect differential oil temperature sensor connector.
•  Inspect for continuity between 4WD CM terminal A and differential oil temperature sensor terminal A.
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify if there is a common connector between 4WD control module terminal A and differential oil temperature sensor terminal A.
If there is a common connector:
•  Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.
•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.
Go to Step 7.
3
INSPECT 4WD CM TO DIFFERENTIAL OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR FOR SHORT TO POWER
•  Verify that the 4WD CM connector and differential oil temperature sensor connector are disconnected.
•  Inspect voltage between 4WD CM terminal A and body ground.
•  Is voltage B+?
Yes
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify if there is a common connector between 4WD control module terminal A and differential oil temperature sensor terminal A.
If there is a common connector:
•  Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to power supply.
•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to power supply.
Go to Step 7.
No
Go to the next step.
4
INSPECT 4WD CM TO DIFFERENTIAL OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR FOR SHORT TO GROUND
•  Verify that the 4WD CM connector and differential oil temperature sensor connector are disconnected.
•  Inspect for continuity between 4WD CM terminal A and body ground.
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
If there is a common connector:
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify if there is a common connector between 4WD control module terminal A and differential oil temperature sensor terminal A.
•  Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.
•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.
Go to Step 7.
No
Go to the next step.
5
INSPECT 4WD CM TO DIFFERENTIAL OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
•  Verify that the 4WD CM connector and differential oil temperature sensor connector are disconnected.
•  Inspect for continuity between 4WD CM terminal C and differential oil temperature sensor terminal B.
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify if there is a common connector between 4WD control module terminal C and differential oil temperature sensor terminal B.
If there is a common connector:
•  Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.
•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.
Go to Step 7.
6
INSPECT 4WD CM TO DIFFERENTIAL OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR FOR SHORT TO POWER
•  Verify that the 4WD CM connector and differential oil temperature sensor connector are disconnected.
•  Inspect voltage between 4WD CM terminal C and body ground.
•  Is voltage B+?
Yes
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify if there is a common connector between 4WD control module terminal C and differential oil temperature sensor terminal B.
If there is a common connector:
•  Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to power supply.
•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to power supply.
Go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
7
VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED
•  Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
•  Clear DTC from memory.
•  Drive vehicle.
•  Using the M-MDS, perform the 4WD control module DTC inspection.
•  Is the same DTC present?
Yes
Replace 4WD CM, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
8
VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE
•  Is there any other DTC present?
Yes
Go to applicable DTC inspection.
No
Troubleshooting completed.
