Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: Automatic Disconnecting Differential Motor Limit Switch Circuit (P17A4)

Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Vf2cm Transfer / Touch Select 2-4 And High-low System / Automatic Disconnecting Differential Motor Limit Switch Circuit (P17A4)

DESCRIPTION

When the A.D.D. actuator switches between 2WD and 4WD, the DL1 and DL2 terminals of the limit switch and ADD terminal of the A.D.D. position switch change to one of the following ON/OFF combinations listed in the table below.

Automatic Disconnecting Differential Motor Limit Switch Circuit

  • Diagnosis Condition: Directly after the ignition switch is turned to ON, or while switching between 2WD and H4 (A.D.D. shift motor operating) with the ignition switch turned to ON
  • Malfunction Status: The ON/OFF combination of DL1, DL2 and ADD does not match the pattern
  • Malfunction Time: 0 seconds
  • Other: 1 trip detection logic
  • Wire harness and connector
  • 4 wheel drive control ECU
  • A.D.D. actuator (differential vacuum actuator assembly)
