1. Problem verification (with engine idling):

  1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
  2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

Real Time AWD Control Unit - Diagnostics

Is DTC C1851-19 or C1851-1E indicated?

YES

The failure is duplicated. Go to step 3.

NO

Go to step 2.

2. Problem verification (with rear differential pump motor running):

  1. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
  2. Select the ADJUSTMENT in the AWD WITH INTELLIGENT CONTROL with the HDS.
  3. With the engine running, do the AIR BLEEDING in the ADJUSTMENT with the HDS.
  4. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC C1851-19 or C1851-1E indicated?

YES

The failure is duplicated. Go to step 3.

NO

Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the Freeze data/on-board snapshot.

3. Determine possible failure area (short to power in MH, ML lines, others):

  1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
  2. Disconnect the following connector.

Rear differential pump motor 2P connector

  1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
  2. Wait for 10 seconds.
  3. Measure the voltage between the following test points 1 and 2 individually (see table).
