SH-AWD Control Unit Initialization






SH-AWD Control Unit Initialization

Whenever the SH-AWD control unit is replaced, it must initialized.

1. With the ignition switch in LOCK (0), connect the HDS to the DLC (A) behind the driver's dashboard lower cover.






2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the SH-AWD control unit. If it doesn't, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting Testing and Inspection.

4. From the mode menu, select SH-AWD, select MISCELLANEOUS TEST, then select INITIALIZATION with the HDS, and follow the screen prompts.

NOTE: See the HDS help menu for specific instructions.
