Are inspection results normal?
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Replace wait detection switch.

5. CHECK TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT
Check transfer control unit input/output signal. Refer to DLN-79, "Reference Value". Reference Value
Are inspection results normal?
YES >> GO TO 6.
NO >> Check transfer control unit pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector. If any items are damaged, repair or replace damaged parts.

6. CHECK DTC
Drive the vehicle and then perform self-diagnosis.
Are inspection results normal?
YES >> Inspection End.
NO >> Replace transfer control unit.

Component Inspection
1. Turn ignition switch OFF. (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)
2. Disconnect wait detection switch harness connector.
3. Remove wait detection switch.








4. Push and release wait detection switch and check continuity between wait detection switch terminals 10 and 11.
5. If the inspection results are abnormal replace the wait detection switch.
