Pattern Select Switch Snow Mode Circuit: Procedure
- DRIVING TEST
HINT:
The driving test should be performed on a paved road (nonskid road).
- Start the engine.
- Turn the SNOW switch off (normal drive mode).
- Confirm vehicle response by driving from a parked position to fully depressing the accelerator pedal.
- Turn the SNOW switch on and perform the same check as above.
When driving the vehicle with the SNOW switch on and off, check that there is a difference in acceleration.
OK
There is a difference in acceleration.
NG → See step 2
OK → See step 5
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION SWITCH ASSEMBLY - BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the connector of combination switch.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Specified Condition N59-4 (GND) - Body ground Below 1 Ω TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Front view of wire harness connector
(to Combination Switch Assembly)
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT COMBINATION SWITCH ASSEMBLY
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition 2 - 4 Press continuously combination switch
(SNOW)Below 10 Ω ↑ Release combination switch
(SNOW)10 kΩ or higher TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Component without harness connected
(Combination Switch Assembly)
NG → See step 6
OK: Go to next step
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION SWITCH ASSEMBLY - ECM)
- Connect the connector of combination switch.
- Disconnect the ECM connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition A21-22 (SNWI) - Body ground Press continuously combination switch
(SNOW)Below 10 Ω ↑ Release combination switch
(SNOW)10 kΩ or higher TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Rear view of wire harness connector
(to ECM)
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK → See step 5
- Connect the connector of combination switch.
- PROCEED TO NEXT SUSPECTED AREA SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE. Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE [12/2011 - ]
- REPLACE COMBINATION SWITCH ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL [12/2011 - ]
