DESCRIPTION

Connecting terminals TC and CG of the DLC3 causes the 4WD ECU assembly to display a DTC on the multi-information display.

Tech Tips

When each warning light remains blinking, a short to ground in the wiring of terminal TC of the DLC3 or an internal short to ground in each ECU is suspected.
