Title: MF1A (TRANSFER / 4WD / AWD): ACTIVE TORQUE CONTROL 4WD SYSTEM: AWD Warning Light Remains ON; 2017 - 2020 MY Sienna [08/2016 -        ]

AWD Warning Light Remains ON

DESCRIPTION

The 4WD ECU assembly is connected to the combination meter assembly via the CAN communication system. If any of the following conditions are detected, the multi-information display indicates a malfunction in the active torque control 4WD system.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

HINT:

Check the condition of each related circuit connector before troubleshooting (See page 2016 - 2020 MY Sienna [12/2015 -        ]; INTRODUCTION: HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT ECU CONTROLLED SYSTEMS: ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE ).

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK FOR DTC (CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND ACTIVE TORQUE CONTROL 4WD SYSTEM)

(a) Check if CAN communication system DTCs are output (See page 2017 MY Sienna [08/2016 - 11/2017]; NETWORKING: CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM: DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM 2018 MY Sienna [11/2017 - 08/2018]; NETWORKING: CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM: DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM 2019 - 2020 MY Sienna [08/2018 -        ]; NETWORKING: CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM: DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM ).

(b) Check if the active torque control 4WD system DTC is output (See page 2016 - 2017 MY Sienna [12/2015 - 11/2017]; MF1A (TRANSFER / 4WD / AWD): ACTIVE TORQUE CONTROL 4WD SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR 2018 - 2020 MY Sienna [11/2017 -        ]; MF1A (TRANSFER / 4WD / AWD): ACTIVE TORQUE CONTROL 4WD SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).

Result

Result

Proceed to

Neither CAN communication system DTC nor active torque control 4WD system DTC is output

A

CAN communication DTC is output

B

Active torque control 4WD system DTC is output

C

HINT:

When DTCs indicating a CAN communication system malfunction are output, repair the CAN communication system before repairing each corresponding sensor.

B

REPAIR CIRCUIT INDICATOR BY OUTPUT CODE (CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM)

(See page 2017 MY Sienna [08/2016 - 11/2017]; NETWORKING: CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM: DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART 2018 MY Sienna [11/2017 - 08/2018]; NETWORKING: CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM: DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART 2019 - 2020 MY Sienna [08/2018 -        ]; NETWORKING: CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM: DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART )
