Fail-Safe
If any malfunction occurs in AWD electrical system, and control unit detects the malfunction, AWD warning on information display (combination meter) is displayed to indicate system malfunction. And then AWD control unit controls becomes the fail-safe mode depending on DTC.
| DTC | Vehicle condition |
|
AWD control changes to front-wheel drive immediately, then AWD control stops, and the vehicle becomes front-wheel drive. |

AWD control changes to front-wheel drive immediately, then AWD control stops, and the vehicle becomes front-wheel drive. |
|
No impact to vehicle behavior. |
Protection Function
AWD system activates its protection function (shuts down AWD system temporarily) if AWD system detects high load continuously or the front wheel tire size differs from the rear tire size. (AWD system is automatically restored if AWD system no longer detects any overload or the tire size difference is eliminated.)
| DTC | AWD warning (on information display) | Error area and root cause | Contents of protection function |
| — | Refer to DLN-16, "INFORMATION DISPLAY (COMBINATION METER) : AWD Warning". | Rear final drive assembly in protection mode. It is not malfunction.
(Internal temperature rise of electronic controlled coupling) |
Shuts down AWD system temporarily (Front wheel drive) |
| — | Malfunction in each tire or different tire diameter |
