WIRING DIAGRAM

Refer to DTC P17C7 (See page PROCEDURE ).

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR

(a) Disconnect the 4 wheel drive control ECU connector.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
F13-5 (DT) - F13-25 (DGND)	Always	120 to 240 kΩ

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
F13-5 (DT) or F13-25 (DGND) - Body ground	Ignition switch ON	Below 1 V

REPLACE 4 WHEEL DRIVE CONTROL ECU

2.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (4 WHEEL DRIVE CONTROL ECU - OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR)

(a) Disconnect the F13 4 wheel drive control ECU connector.

(b) Disconnect the F38 oil temperature sensor connector.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
F13-5 (DT) - F38-1 (DT)	Always	Below 1 Ω
F13-25 (DGND) - F38-2 (DGND)	Always	Below 1 Ω

(d) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
F13-5 (DT) or F38-1 (DT) - Body ground	Ignition switch ON	Below 1 V
F13-25 (DGND) or F38-2 (DGND) - Body ground	Ignition switch ON	Below 1 V
