Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Differential / Differential System(w/ Rear Differential Lock) / Rear Differential Lock Solenoid Circuit Low (P17C0)

DESCRIPTION

This DTC is output when a malfunction is detected due to a short to ground occurring in the differential lock coil drive circuit of the rear differential.

DTC No.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
P17C0	Rear Differential Lock Solenoid Circuit Low	Diagnosis Condition: Directly after ignition switch is turned to ON, or when rear differential is switched between free and locked (differential lock coil operating) with ignition switch turned to ON Malfunction Status: Short to ground in differential lock coil drive circuit Malfunction Time: 0.05 seconds or more Other: 1 trip detection logic	Wire harness and connector 4 wheel drive control ECU Differential lock coil

WIRING DIAGRAM

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK DIFFERENTIAL LOCK COIL

(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
F12-1 (SL+) or F12-5 (SL-) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

REPLACE 4 WHEEL DRIVE CONTROL ECU

2.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (4 WHEEL DRIVE CONTROL ECU - DIFFERENTIAL LOCK COIL)

(a) Disconnect the F12 4 wheel drive control ECU connector.

(b) Disconnect the D28 differential lock coil connector.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
F12-1 (SL+) or D28-2 (SL+) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
F12-5 (SL-) or D28-1 (SL-) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

REPLACE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK COIL

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
