Diagnostic Procedure
- CHECK WAIT DETECTION SWITCH SIGNAL
With CONSULT-II
- Start engine.
- Select "DATA MONITOR" mode for "ALL MODE AWD/4WD" with CONSULT-II.
- Read out the value of "WAIT DETCT SW".
DISPLAY VALUE CONDITIONCondition Display value - Vehicle stopped
- Engine running
- A/T selector lever "N" position
- Brake pedal depressed
4WD shift switch: 2WD, AUTO or 4H OFF 4WD shift switch: 4H to 4LO (While actuator motor is operating.) OFF --> ON 4WD shift switch: 4LO to 4H (While actuator motor is operating.) ON --> OFF 4WD shift switch: 4LO ON Without CONSULT-II
- Start engine.
- Check voltage between transfer control unit harness connector terminal and ground.
TERMINAL VOLTAGE REFERENCEConnector Terminal Condition Voltage (Approx.) E143 43-Ground - Vehicle stopped
- Engine running
- A/T selector lever "N" position
- Brake pedal depressed
4WD shift switch: 2WD, AUTO or 4H Battery voltage 4WD shift switch: 4H to 4LO (While actuator motor is operating.) Battery voltage --> 0V 4WD shift switch: 4LO to 4H (While actuator motor is operating.) 0V --> Battery voltage 4WD shift switch: 4LO 0V Courtesy of NISSAN MOTOR CO., U.S.A.
OK or NG
OK: GO TO 5.
NG: GO TO 2.
- CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT AND WAIT DETECTION SWITCH
- Turn ignition switch "OFF". (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)
- Disconnect transfer control unit harness connector and the wait detection switch harness connector.
- Check continuity between transfer control unit harness connector E143 terminal 43 and wait detection switch harness connector F59 terminal 10.
Continuity should exist .
Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
OK or NG
OK: GO TO 3.
NG: Repair or replace damaged parts.
- CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT
- Turn ignition switch "OFF". (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)
- Disconnect wait detection switch harness connector.
- Check continuity between wait detection switch harness connector F59 terminal 11 and ground.
Continuity should exist .
Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
OK or NG
OK: GO TO 4.
NG: Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
- CHECK WAIT DETECTION SWITCH
- Turn ignition switch "OFF". (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)
- Disconnect wait detection switch harness connector.
- Remove wait detection switch. Refer to "LOCATION OF ELECTRICAL PARTS ".
- Push and release wait detection switch and check continuity between wait detection switch terminals 10 and 11.
TERMINAL CONTINUITY REFERENCETerminal Condition Continuity 10 - 11 Push wait detection switch Yes Release wait detection switch No OK or NG
OK: GO TO 5.
NG: Replace wait detection switch. Refer to "LOCATION OF ELECTRICAL PARTS ".
- CHECK TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT
Check transfer control unit input/output signal. Refer to "TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL REFERENCE VALUES ".
OK or NG
OK: GO TO 6.
NG: Check transfer control unit pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector. If any items are damaged, repair or replace damaged parts.
- CHECK DTC
Perform the self-diagnosis, after driving a vehicle for a while.
OK or NG
OK: Inspection End.
NG: Replace transfer control unit. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ".
