AWD WARNING LAMP BLINKS QUICKLY

AWD WARNING LAMP BLINKS QUICKLY

Description

INFOID:0000000010288320

While driving, AWD warning lamp blinks 2 times in 1 second and it turns OFF after 1 minute.
• This symptom protects drive train parts when a heavy load is applied to the electric controlled coupling and

multiple disc clutch temperature increases. Also, optional distribution of torque sometimes becomes rigid
before lamp blinks quickly. Both cases are not malfunction.

• When this symptom occurs, stop vehicle and allow it to idle for some times. Blinking will stop and system will

be restored.

replacing damaged parts. (Initialize improper size tire information.)

2.

CHECK INPUT SIGNAL OF TIRE DIAMETER

With CONSULT

1.

Start engine.

2.

Drive at 20 km/h (12 MPH) or more for approx. 200 seconds.

3.

Check “DIS-TIRE MONI” of AWD control unit CONSULT “DATA MONITOR”.

Does the item on “DATA MONITOR” indicate “0 - 4 mm”?

YES

>> INSPECTION END

NO

>> GO TO 3.

3.

TERMINAL INSPECTION

Check AWD control unit harness connector for disconnection.
Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> Replace AWD control unit. Refer to 

DLN-153, "Exploded View"
