Real Time AWD System Symptom Troubleshooting - HDS does not communicate (AWD (With CAN Gateway)) (2017 2018 2019)

HDS does not communicate 

  1. HDS communication check

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -2. Check that the HDS communicates with the vehicle.

    Does the HDS communicate with the vehicle?

    YES 

    The HDS communication is OK. Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting .

  2. AWD system communication check

    -1. Check the Main Menu of the REAL TIME AWD with the HDS.

    Does the HDS show the Main Menu of the REAL TIME AWD?

    YES 

    The real time AWD system communication is OK. Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time.

    NO 

    Go to step 3.

  3. Fuse check

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Check the following fuse.

    Fuse No. A20 (20 A)
    Location Under-hood fuse/relay box
    Fuse No. D7 (10 A)
    Location Under-dash fuse/relay box

    Is the fuse OK?

    YES 

    The fuses is OK. Reinstall the fuses, then go to step 4.

    NO 

    Replace the fuse (s). If the fuse (s) blows again, repair a short to ground in the No. A20 (20 A) fuse circuit and/or the No. D7 (10 A) fuse circuit, and recheck.

  4. Rear differential pump motor operation check

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -2. Check the operation sound of the rear differential pump motor on the rear differential with a stethoscope or a flat-tipped screwdriver (at the rear differential pump motor) when the engine started.

    NOTE:  The rear differential pump motor operates within several seconds after the engine is started.

    Rear differential pump motor operation sound heard?

    YES 

    Go to step 9.

    NO 

    Go to step 5.

  5. Rear differential fluid pressure sensor check

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Disconnect the following connector.

    Rear differential fluid pressure sensor 3P connector

    -3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -4. Check the Main Menu of the REAL TIME AWD with the HDS.

    Does the HDS show the Main Menu of the REAL TIME AWD?

    YES 

    Replace the rear differential fluid pressure sensor .

    NO 

    The rear differential fluid pressure sensor is OK. Go to step 6.

  6. Open wire check (IG1 METER line)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Disconnect the following connector.

    AWD control unit 24P connector

    -3. Start the engine.

    -4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode (idling)
      Rear differential fluid pressure sensor 3P connector: disconnected
      AWD control unit 24P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 AWD control unit 24P connector No. 12 
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there battery voltage?

    YES 

    The IG1 METER wire is OK. Go to step 7.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the IG1 METER wire between the AWD control unit and the No, D7 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.

  7. Open wire check (GND line)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      Rear differential fluid pressure sensor 3P connector: disconnected
      AWD control unit 24P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 AWD control unit 24P connector No. 8 
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The GND wire is OK. Go to step 8.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the GND wire between the AWD control unit and ground (G503).

  8. Shorted wire check (SVCC line)

    -1. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      Rear differential fluid pressure sensor 3P connector: disconnected
      AWD control unit 24P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 AWD control unit 24P connector No. 20 
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Repair a short to ground in the SVCC wire between the AWD control unit and the rear differential fluid pressure sensor.

    NO 

    The SVCC wire is OK. Go to step 9.

  9. Open wire check (F-CAN B H, F-CAN B L lines)

    -1. Disconnect the following connector.

    CAN gateway 12P connector

    -2. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2 individually.

    F-CAN B H wire 

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      Rear differential fluid pressure sensor 3P connector: disconnected
      AWD control unit 24P connector: disconnected
