Diagnostic Procedure
- STEP 1. Scan tool CAN bus diagnostics
Using the scan tool, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to TROUBLESHOOTING ). After repairing the CAN bus line, go to Step 2.
- STEP 2. DTC recheck after repairing the CAN bus line
- Erase the DTC.
- Turn the ignition switch from the LOCK (OFF) position to the ON position, and then wait for 4 seconds.
- Check if the DTC is set.
Q: Is DTC No. C1619 set?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : This diagnosis is complete.
- STEP 3. Connector check:
Check the connectors below for improper engagement, terminal damage or terminal drawn in the connector case.
- C-46 AWC-ECU connector
- F-17 AYC proportioning valve connector
- D-11 intermediate connector, F-11 intermediate connector
- No. 9 body ground
Q: Are the connectors and terminals in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair the faulty connector(s) or terminal(s). Then go to Step 8.
- STEP 4. Harness check
- Check the wiring harness among C-46 AWC-ECU connector (terminal No. 2), D-11 intermediate connector (terminal No. 1), F-11 intermediate connector (terminal No. 4), and F-17 AYC proportioning valve connector (terminal No. 3) for any problems.
- Check the wiring harness among F-17 AYC proportioning valve connector (terminal No. 2), F-11 intermediate connector (terminal No. 3), and No. 9 body ground for any problems.
Q: Is the harness in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Repair the problem in the wiring harness. Then go to Step 8.
- STEP 5. Resistance measurement between AYC proportioning valve solenoid connector (equipment side) terminals
Disconnect the F-17 AYC proportioning valve connector and measure the resistance between connector terminals on the equipment side.

Standard value: 3.7 ± 0.3 Ω
Q: Is the measured resistance value within the standard value range?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Replace the hydraulic unit. (Refer to HYDRAULIC UNIT .) Then go to Step 8.
- STEP 6. Scan tool service data
Check the following service data. (Refer to TROUBLE SYMPTOM CHART .)
- Item 93: Specified current for AYC proportioning valve
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Replace the AWC-ECU (Refer to AWC-ECU ). Then, go to Step 8.
- STEP 7. Check whether the DTC is reset.
- Erase the DTC.
- Turn the ignition switch from the LOCK (OFF) position to the ON position, and then wait for 4 seconds.
- Check if the DTC is set.
Q: Is DTC No. C1619 set?
YES : Replace the AWC-ECU (Refer to AWC-ECU ). Then go to Step 8.
NO : An intermittent malfunction is suspected. (Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION .)
- STEP 8. Check whether the DTC is reset.
- Erase the DTC.
- Turn the ignition switch from the LOCK (OFF) position to the ON position, and then wait for 4 seconds.
- Check if the DTC is set.
Q: Is DTC No. C1619 set?
YES : Diagnose again from Step 1.
NO : This diagnosis is complete.
