Inspection Procedure

NOTE: When replacing the master cylinder solenoid, perform zero point calibration (See CALIBRATION  ).
  1. INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU (EXI TERMINAL) 
    1. Disconnect the skid control ECU connector.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
    3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard voltage 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      S37-27 (EXI) - Body ground Center diff. locked (Center diff. lock switch ON) Below 1.5 V
      S37-27 (EXI) - Body ground Center diff. free (Center diff. lock switch OFF) 10 to 14 V

    OK: REPLACE MASTER CYLINDER SOLENOID

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. INSPECT 4WD CONTROL ECU 

    NG: REPLACE 4WD CONTROL ECU 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (4WD CONTROL ECU - CENTER DIFFERENTIAL LOCK SWITCH) 
    1. Disconnect the 4WD control ECU connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance
