3. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
4. Start the engine.
5. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC 77-1 indicated?

YES - Go to step 6.

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

6. Check for DTCs in the PGM-FI system with the HDS.

Are any PGM-FI system DTCs indicated?

YES - Go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.

NO - Update the SH-AWD control unit if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good SH-AWD control unit and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with the updated SH-AWD control unit, troubleshooting is complete. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good SH-AWD control unit, replace the original SH-AWD control unit.
