Coupling Component Removal/Installation: Notes

Oil and Chemical Type 

Sealant
Type: TB1217C or equivalent
CAUTION:
  • If the characteristic value of a new coupling component is not input to the AWD control module or the characteristic value is input incorrectly after replacing the coupling component, it could result in the following conditions.
    • The system does not operate normally.
    • A problem with durability of the coupling component occurs.
    • After replacing the coupling component, read out the characteristic value of a new coupling component and write it to the AWD control module. (See COUPLING COMPONENT CALIBRATION DATA WRITING .)
    • Read out the characteristic value of the coupling component from the label or mark shown in the figure.

NOTE:
  • The AWD control module stores the characteristic value of the coupling component before replacement.
  • If the characteristic value of a new coupling component is not written, the AWD control module does not store the value.
  1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION .)
  2. Drain the rear differential oil into a container.
  3. Remove the following parts.
