      OK or NG 

      OK: GO TO 2.

      NG: Check the following. If any items are damaged, repair or replace damaged parts.

      • 40A fusible link (No. j, located in the fuse and fusible link box).
      • 10A fuses [No. 18 located in fuse block (J/B)] and No. 59 (located in the fuse and relay box).
      • Harness for short or open between battery and transfer control unit harness connector M153 terminals 47.
      • Harness for short or open between ignition switch and transfer control unit harness connector M153 terminal 29.
      • Harness for short or open between battery and transfer shut off relay harness connector E155 terminal 1 and 3.
      • Harness for short or open between transfer shut off relay harness connector E155 terminal 2 and transfer control unit harness connector M153 terminal 30.
      • Harness for short or open between transfer shut off relay harness connector E155 terminal 5 and transfer control unit harness connector M152 terminals 16 and 22.
      • Battery and ignition switch.
      • Transfer shut off relay. Refer to "COMPONENT INSPECTION ".
  2. CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT
    1. Turn ignition switch "OFF". (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)
    2. Disconnect transfer control unit harness connector.
    3. Check continuity between transfer control unit harness connector M152 terminals 3, 6, M153 terminal 45 and ground.

      Continuity should exist  .

  3. CHECK TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT

    Check transfer control unit input/output signal. Refer to "REFERENCE VALUE ".

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO 4.

    NG: Check transfer control unit pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector. If any items are damaged, repair or replace damaged parts.

  4. CHECK DTC

    Perform the self-diagnosis, after driving a vehicle for a while.

    OK or NG 

    OK: Inspection End.
