Lexus ES: Linear Solenoid Circuit (C1298)
DESCRIPTION
The 4WD ECU assembly receives signals from each sensor to control clutch fluid pressure for limiting the center differential operation, which distributes torque according to the driving conditions.

PROCEDURE
| 1. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (4WD ECU ASSEMBLY - TRANSMISSION COUPLING ASSEMBLY) |
| (a) Disconnect the G131 4WD ECU assembly connector. |
|
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| G131-2 (SLC+) - G131-1 (SLC-) | 20°C (68°F) | 2.2 to 2.6 Ω |
| G131-2 (SLC+) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| G131-1 (SLC-) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| OK | .gif) | REPLACE 4WD ECU ASSEMBLY |

| 2. | INSPECT TRANSMISSION COUPLING ASSEMBLY |
| (a) Disconnect the c1 4WD linear solenoid (transmission coupling assembly) connector. |
|
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (BSF) - 2 (SLC) | 20°C (68°F) | 2.2 to 2.6 Ω |
| 1 (BSF) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| 2 (SLC) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| OK | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
| NG | | REPLACE TRANSMISSION COUPLING ASSEMBLY |
