Diagnosis System

Active torque control 4WD system data can be read in the Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3) of the vehicle. When the system seems to be malfunctioning, use the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to check for malfunctions and perform repairs. Therefore when there seems to be a problem with the active torque control 4WD, use the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) or SST to check and troubleshoot it.

SST 09843-18040 

1. The ECU uses CAN (ISO11898-1) and ISO9141-2 for communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO9141-2 format. Verify the conditions listed in the table below.

   CANH (6) - CANL (14)	HIGH-level CAN bus line	Ignition switch OFF(1)	54 to 69 Ω
   CANH (6) - BAT (16)	HIGH-level CAN bus line	Ignition switch OFF(1)	1 MΩ or higher
   CANH (6) - CG (4)	HIGH-level CAN bus line	Ignition switch OFF(1)	200 Ω or higher
   CANL (14) - BAT (16)	LOW-level CAN bus line	Ignition switch OFF(1)	1 MΩ or higher
   CANL (14) -CG (4)	LOW-level CAN bus line	Ignition switch OFF(1)	200 Ω or higher
   (1) Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle as is for at least 1 minute and do not operate the ignition switch, other switches or the doors.

   If the result is not as specified, the DLC3 may have a malfunction. Repair or replace the harness and connector.

   HINT:

   Connect the cable of the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to the DLC3, turn the ignition switch ON and attempt to use the tester. If the display indicates that a communication error has occurred, there is a problem either with the vehicle or with the tester.

   • If communication is normal when the tester is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 of the original vehicle.
   • If communication is still not possible when the tester is connected to another vehicle, the problem may be in the tester itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the tester's instruction manual.

1. When a problem occurs in the active torque control 4WD system, the 4WD indicator light on the combination meter comes ON to inform the driver of the problem.
