Inspection procedure
Check can communication system
- Check if the can communication system dtc is output (see page ca-34).
Result 
- Check skid control ecu connector
- Check if the skid control ecu connector is securely connected.
Ok: the connector is securely connected.
- Check wire harness (skid control ecu - body ground)
- Disconnect the a19 ecu connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.
Standard resistance 
- Inspect downhill assist control switch
- Remove the downhill assist control switch.
- Measure the resistance of the switch.
Standard resistance 
- Check wire harness (control switch - skid control ecu and body ground)
- Disconnect the a19 ecu connector.
- Disconnect the e31 switch connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
Standard resistance 
- Check combination meter
- Check the combination meter (see page me-15).

All-wheel drive lock
switch (awd models)
All-wheel drive lock mode can be used when a large amount of
drive power needs to be applied to all the wheels, such as when
the vehicle gets stuck in mud and you need to free it.
Press the switch.

Low battery positive voltage
Description
When there is an abnormality in the power supply circuit of the brake
actuator (skid control ecu), the skid
control ecu sets a dtc and the operation is prohibited by the fail-safe
function. This dtc is set when the
voltage supplied to terminal ig1 is outside the dtc detection ...
