CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
PROCEDURE
| 1. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (IG1 TERMINAL) |
| (a) Disconnect the G131 4WD ECU assembly connector. |
|
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| G131-3 (IG1) - Body ground | Engine switch on (IG) | 11 to 14 V |
| NG | .gif) | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |

| 2. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (GND TERMINAL) |
(a) Turn the engine switch off.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| G131-4 (GND) - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
| 3. | RECONFIRM DTC |
(a) Clear the DTC.
Chassis > Four Wheel Drive > Clear DTCs(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(c) Check that no DTCs other than DTC C120C have been output.
Chassis > Four Wheel Drive > Trouble Codes| Result | Proceed to |
