Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Introduction

DESCRIPTION
When a malfunction (indicated by the 4WD warning lamp illumination) occurs, collect information first from the customer about how the malfunction occurs. Then, proceed with the diagnosis presuming it is the cause. Also, inspect the electrical system, paying close attention to other possibilities such as fluid level and leaks.
All-mode 4WD transfer is controlled by transfer control unit and sensors.
If a malfunction occurs in the all-mode 4WD system, the 4WD warning lamp lights up to inform of the system malfunction. There are two ways to identify the cause of the malfunction.

1. Performing the self-diagnosis. (The 4WD warning lamp will indicate what kind of malfunction has occurred by flickering.)
2. Performing diagnosis using CONSULT-II.
