CALIBRATION

NOTICE:

  • When the 4WD ECU assembly is replaced, before removing the 4WD ECU assembly, it is necessary to perform ECU Data Save to save the original 4WD ECU assembly information.
  • When the 4WD ECU assembly is replaced, it is necessary to perform the following in order: ECU Data Initialization and ECU Data Write.
  • When the rear 4WD linear solenoid (electro magnetic control coupling sub-assembly) is replaced, it is necessary to perform the following in order: ECU Data Initialization and ECU Data Write (when replacing rear 4WD linear solenoid (electro magnetic control coupling sub-assembly)).
  • When the front 4WD linear solenoid (transfer assembly) or rear 4WD linear solenoid (rear differential carrier assembly) is replaced, it is necessary to perform the following in order: ECU Data Initialization and Disconnect System Function Check.
  • When the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag ECU assembly) is replaced, it is necessary to perform ECU Data Initialization.

DISCONNECT SYSTEM FUNCTION CHECK

HINT:

Perform this work with 4 or more people as the tires need to be rotated by hand when working.

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(f) According to the display on the Techstream, complete work.

CAUTION:

Do not hold the inside of the wheel when rotating the tire, as doing so could pinch your fingers.

NOTICE:

If disconnect switching fails, perform the same procedure. If it fails again, inspect the part.
