DTC P17A4: Automatic Disconnecting Differential Motor Limit Switch Circuit [08/2019 - ]: Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Toyota 4Runner, 2023 Toyota 4Runner, 2022 Toyota 4Runner, 2021 Toyota 4Runner, and 2020 Toyota 4Runner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (4 WHEEL DRIVE CONTROL ECU - A.D.D. ACTUATOR (DIFFERENTIAL VACUUM ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY))
- Disconnect the F47 4 wheel drive control ECU connector.
- Disconnect the D1 A.D.D. actuator (differential vacuum actuator assembly) connector.
- Disconnect the A6 skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid) connector.
- Disconnect the F51 ECM connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition F47-8 (DL1) - D1-6 (DL1) Always Below 1 Ω F47-7 (DL2) - D1-5 (DL2) Always Below 1 Ω F47-2 (ADD) - D1-3 (ADD) Always Below 1 Ω D1-4 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω F47-8 (DL1) or D1-6 (DL1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher F47-7 (DL2) or D1-5 (DL2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher F47-2 (ADD) or D1-3 (ADD) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result:
OK
See step 2
- CHECK 4 WHEEL DRIVE CONTROL ECU (ECU OUTPUT VOLTAGE)
- Disconnect the D1 A.D.D. actuator (differential vacuum actuator assembly) connector.

(to A.D.D. Actuator (Differential Vacuum Actuator Assembly)) - Disconnect the A6 skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid) connector.
- Disconnect the F51 ECM connector.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition D1-6 (DL1) - Body ground Ignition switch ON 10 to 14 V D1-5 (DL2) - Body ground Ignition switch ON 10 to 14 V D1-3 (ADD) - Body ground Ignition switch ON 10 to 14 V Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
OK
REPLACE A.D.D. ACTUATOR (DIFFERENTIAL VACUUM ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY). Refer to REMOVAL [08/2015 - ]
Result:
NG
REPLACE 4 WHEEL DRIVE CONTROL ECU. Refer to REMOVAL [08/2019 - ]
- Disconnect the D1 A.D.D. actuator (differential vacuum actuator assembly) connector.
