DTC Detecting Condition and Trouble Area

DTC Confirmation Procedure

1) Clear DTC using scan tool.
2) Select transfer switch to “4L-lock” position and keep its position for 1 min.
3) Check DTC.

3

Center differential lock switch check
1) Check center differential lock switch referring to 

“Transfer Assembly Inspection: Motor-Shift Type 
(Transfer with Shift Actuator)”.

Is switch in good condition?

Substitute a known-
good 4WD control 
module and recheck.

Replace center 
differential lock switch.

4

Wire harness check
1) Disconnect connector from 4WD control module 

connector “E91” with ignition switch OFF.

2) Check for proper connection to “E91-14” terminal of 

4WD control module connector.

3) If OK, measure resistance between “RED/GRN” terminal 

of center differential lock switch connector and “E91-14” 
terminal of 4WD control module connector.

Is it 1 

Ω

 or less?

Substitute a known-
good 4WD control 
module and recheck.

“RED/GRN” wire is 
open or high resistance.

1

Was “4WD control system check” performed?

Go to Step 2.

Go to “4WD Control 
System Check: Motor-
Shift Type (Transfer with 
Shift Actuator)”.

2

Center differential lock switch circuit check
1) Disconnect center differential lock switch connector with 

ignition switch OFF.

2) Check for proper connection to terminal of center 

differential lock switch connector.

3) If connection is OK, measure voltage between “RED/

GRN” terminal of center differential lock switch 
connector and vehicle body ground with ignition switch 
ON.

Is it 10 – 14 V?

Go to Step 3.

Go to Step 4.

Center differential lock switch check
1) Check center differential lock switch referring to 

“Transfer Assembly Inspection: Motor-Shift Type 
(Transfer with Shift Actuator)”.

Is switch in good condition?

Substitute a known-
good 4WD control 
module and recheck.

Replace center 
differential lock switch.

4

Wire harness check
1) Disconnect connector from 4WD control module 

connector “E91” with ignition switch OFF.

2) Check for proper connection to “E91-14” terminal of 

4WD control module connector.

3) If OK, measure resistance between “RED/GRN” terminal 

of center differential lock switch connector and “E91-14” 
terminal of 4WD control module connector.

Is it 1 M

 or more?

Substitute a known-
good 4WD control 
module and recheck.

“RED/GRN” wire is 
shorted to ground 
circuit.

4WD control module power circuit check
1) Disconnect 4WD control module connector with ignition 

switch OFF.

2) Check for proper connection to “E91” terminal of 4WD 

control module connector.

intermittent trouble. 
Check for intermittent 
referring to “Intermittent

Inspection in Section 
00”. If wire and 
connections are OK, 
substitute a known-
good 4WD control 
module and recheck.
