Electronic Control Coupling (Front) Operation Check [Vehicles with S-AWC]




ELECTRONIC CONTROL COUPLING (FRONT) OPERATION CHECK [VEHICLES WITH S-AWC]

1. Raise the vehicle.





2. For easy identification of tire rotation, mark the front and rear tires as shown in the figure.
3. Set the shift position to the P-position, and turn ON the ignition switch.
4. Set the wheel to the neutral position, and carry out the special function test No. 4 "Control OFF".
5. Rotate the left-front tire counterclockwise by your hand, and check that the right-front tire makes reverse rotation against the left-front tire.
6. Set the shift position to the N-position, and turn ON the ignition switch.
7. Set the wheel to the neutral position, and carry out the special function test No. 5 "Front coupling operation check".
NOTE:
Time limit for the special function test No. 5 "Front coupling operation check" is 1 minute.

8. Rotate the left-front tire counterclockwise by your hand, and check that the right-front tire rotates to the same direction, viewed from the left-front tire.
Carry out the check above. Then when the tire operates as mentioned, it is judged that the AWC-ECU control and electronic control coupling (front) are normal. If the tire does not operate as mentioned, replace the transfer assembly. (Refer to Transfer Assembly Removal and Installation [Vehicles with S-AWC].)
