Actuator Test Reference Table




ACTUATOR TEST TABLE

Scan tool can be used to forcibly activate the electronic control coupling and indicators (AWD indicator and LOCK indicator) in the combination meter according to the following items.
NOTE:

- If AWD-ECU is deactivated by the fail-safe function, no actuator test can be performed.
- As for the item No. 01, the chassis dynamometer is used to check the AWD torque. A simple AWD status check method, however, can be applied by checking whether a tight corner braking phenomenon appears during driving.

CAUTION:
When the item No. 01 is checked, the speed difference between front and rear wheels must be 5 km/h (3 mph) or lower. If the speed difference exceeds 5 km/h (3mph), AWD-ECU changes from the actuator test mode to the normal control mode.
