Inspection Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Toyota Tundra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
When replacing the VSC actuator assembly, perform zero point calibration (See CALIBRATION
).
HINT:
If the transfer shift actuator cannot change from 2WD to 4WD or 4WD to 2WD, inspect and repair the touch select 2-4 and high-low system first.
- INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU (EXI2 TERMINAL)
- Disconnect the A17 ECU connector.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Measure the voltage according to the value (s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION TABLETester Connection Condition Specified Condition A17-6 (EXI2) - Body ground 4WD (A.D.D. detection switch ON) Below 1.5 V A17-6 (EXI2) - Body ground 2WD (A.D.D. detection switch OFF) 10 to 14 V
NG: Go to step 2
OK: REPLACE VSC ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY (See REMOVAL )
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SKID CONTROL ECU - 4WD CONTROL ECU)
- Confirm that the skid control ECU connector and 4WD control ECU connector are properly connected.
- Disconnect the A17 and A25 ECU connectors.
- Inspect both the connector case and the terminal for deformation and corrosion.
OK: No deformation or corrosion.
- Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION TABLETester Connection Condition Specified Condition A17-6 (EXI2) - A25-15 (ADD) Always Below 1 Ω A17-6 (EXI2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go To Next Step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (4WD CONTROL ECU - BODY GROUND)
- Confirm that the 4WD control ECU connector and A.D.D. actuator connectors are properly connected.
- Disconnect the A25 ECU connector.
- Inspect the connector case and the terminal for deformation and corrosion.
OK: No deformation or corrosion.
- Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION TABLETester Connection Condition Specified Condition A25-15 (ADD) - Body ground 4WD (A.D.D. detection switch ON) Below 1 Ω 2WD (A.D.D. detection switch OFF) 10 kΩ or higher
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go To Next Step
- RECONFIRM DTC
- Clear the DTC (s) (See DTC CHECK/CLEAR ).
- Start the engine.
- Check if the same DTC (s) is output (See DTC CHECK/CLEAR
).
Result
RESULT TABLEResult Proceed to DTC is output A DTC is not output B
B: USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK (See HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING )
A: REPLACE 4WD CONTROL ECU (See REMOVAL )
