Diagnostic Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- STEP 1. Measure the resistance at the AWC-ECU connector.
- Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
- Resistance between AWC-ECU connector terminal FSL+, FSL- and body ground
OK: No continuity
Q: Is the check result normal?
- YES: Go to Step 3.
- NO: Go to Step 2.
- STEP 2. Check the wiring harness between electronic control coupling solenoid (front) connector and AWC-ECU connector terminal FSL+, FSL-.
Check the power supply, ground line for short circuit (for short to the power supply).
Q: Is the check result normal?
- YES: Go to Step 3.
- NO: Repair the defective connector or the wiring harness. Then go to Step 7.
- STEP 3. Check of the electronic control coupling solenoid (front)
Refer to ELECTRONIC CONTROL COUPLING SOLENOID (FRONT) CHECK < VEHICLES WITH S-AWC > .
Q: Is the check result normal?
- YES: Go to Step 4.
- NO: Replace the transfer assembly (Refer to TRANSFER ASSEMBLY < AWD > < CVT > or TRANSFER ASSEMBLY < A/T >). Then go to Step 7.
- STEP 4. Measure the resistance at the AWC-ECU connector.
- Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
- Resistance between AWC-ECU connector terminal SOL+, SOL- and body ground
OK: No continuity
Q: Is the check result normal?
- YES: Go to Step 6.
- NO: Go to Step 5.
- STEP 5. Check the wiring harness between electronic control coupling solenoid (center) connector and AWC-ECU connector terminal SOL+, SOL-.
Check the power supply, ground line for short circuit (for short to the power supply).
Q: Is the check result normal?
- YES: Go to Step 6.
- NO: Repair the defective connector or the wiring harness. Then go to Step 7.
- STEP 6. Check of the electronic control coupling solenoid (center)
Refer to ON-VEHICLE SERVICE .
Q: Is the check result normal?
- YES: Go to Step 7.
- NO: Replace the electronic control coupling (center) (Refer to ELECTRONIC CONTROL COUPLING ). Then go to Step 7.
- STEP 7. Check whether the DTC is stored again.
Q: Is DTC No. C1610 stored?
- YES: Replace the AWC-ECU (Refer to AWD-ECU ). Then go to Step 8.
- NO: Intermittent malfunction (Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION ).
- STEP 8. Check whether the DTC is stored again.
Q: Is DTC No. C1610 stored?
- YES: Return to Step 1.
- NO: This diagnosis is complete.
