1. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
4. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC 42-1 indicated?

YES - Go to step 5.

NO - Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time.

5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
6. Disconnect the rear differential oil temperature sensor 2P connector and SH-AWD connector A (26P).
7. Check for continuity between rear differential oil temperature sensor 2P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2.





Is there continuity?

YES - Repair short in the wire between rear differential oil temperature sensor 2P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2.

NO - Go to step 8.

8. Connect the rear differential oil temperature sensor 2P connector.
9. Measure resistance between SH-AWD control unit connector terminals A9 and A23.





Is there 520 Ohms to 3.5 k Ohms with the rear differential fluid at normal temperature?

YES - Substitute a known-good SH-AWD control unit and recheck.

NO - Replace the rear differential oil temperature sensor.
