FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
If the following malfunctions occur, the 4WD ECU assembly will stop the function of the dynamic torque control AWD system or partly change the function to control the system.
If a malfunction occurs in the sensor signal or actuator, the flow of electricity to the 4WD linear solenoid of the transmission coupling assembly is prohibited. As a result, the system enters front wheel drive condition.
When a component of the system malfunctions and the fail-safe function activates, the component operation is prohibited. However, if the system is controlling the component and the fail-safe function activates, the system operation is gradually stopped to prevent sudden changes in the vehicle condition.
When system control is not possible, a warning message is displayed to stop system operation.
