Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the SH-AWD control unit. If it does not, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting (see DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ).
Clear the DTC(s) by following the screen prompts on the HDS.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
NOTE: If the DTC that was cleared is related to another system, that system's DTC must be repaired, or the SH-AWD DTC will return.
