NO.2 TIGHT CORNER BRAKING


id030300800500

2
Tight corner braking
DESCRIPTION
Brakes seem to be applied during tight cornering while driving very slowly on paved road.
POSSIBLECAUSE
•  Because the coupling component locks up easily (similar to direct 4WD), rotational difference between the front and rear wheels cannot be absorbed and brake-like phenomenon occurs.
•  Due to the coupling component construction, slight tight corner braking effect occurs during tight cornering on a paved road. (4WD system is okay. Compare with another same model vehicle to determine malfunction.)
•  Coupling component malfunction
•  4WD solenoid malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
VERIFY DSC/RSC, PCM, TCM, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND 4WD SYSTEM DTCS
•  Verify DSC/RSC, PCM, TCM, instrument cluster and 4WD system DTCs using the M-MDS.
•  Are there any DTCs present?
Yes
Go to applicable DTC inspection.
No
Go to next step.
2
VERIFY TIRE AIR PRESSURE
•  Inspect tire air pressure.
•  Is it within specification?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Adjust tire air pressure, then go to next step.
3
INSPECT ABS WHEEL-SPEED SENSOR
•  Inspect ABS wheel-speed sensor.
•  Is it normal?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Repair or replace malfunctioning part.
4
COMPARE WITH SAME MODEL VEHICLE
•  Perform simulation driving with another same model vehicle.
•  Does malfunction recur on the same model vehicle?
Yes
4WD system is normal.
No
Go to next step.
5
PERFORM SIMULATION DRIVING WITH 4WD SOLENOID CONNECTOR DISCONNECTED
•  Switch the ignition to OFF.
•  Disconnect 4WD solenoid connector.
•  Perform simulation driving. (Clear DTC after simulation driving.)
•  Does malfunction recur?
Yes
Replace coupling component.
No
Go to next step.
6
INSPECT 4WD SOLENOID
•  Inspect 4WD solenoid.
•  Is it normal?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Replace coupling component.
7
INSPECT HARNESS BETWEEN 4WD SOLENOID AND 4WD CM
•  Is it normal?
Yes
Replace 4WD CM.
No
Repair or replace malfunctioning parts.
