bus lines.

• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that 

the CAN bus lines are normal.

.

OPERATION

• AWC-ECU controls the driving mode by the infor-

mation from AWC switch.

• AWC-ECU sends AWC control mode to the com-

bination meter via ETACS-ECU.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

If the AWC switch is stuck on, the code is set.

.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• AWC switch malfunction
• Damaged harness wires and connectors
• Malfunction of AWC-ECU

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
