AWD Control Module Removal/Installation: Notes

CAUTION:

When performing configuration, it is necessary to read the coupling component calibration data from the AWD control module before replacing it. Connect the M-MDS to the vehicle and perform vehicle identification before removing the AWD control module. The coupling component calibration data is temporarily stored in the M-MDS.
If the configuration was not performed after replacing with a new AWD control module, the following conditions can be considered as occurring because the coupling component calibration data was not recorded in the AWD control module.

NOTE:

The AWD control module prior to replacement stores the coupling component calibration data.
If coupling component calibration data from the AWD control module prior to replacement cannot be read, perform the coupling component calibration data writing. (See COUPLING COMPONENT CALIBRATION DATA WRITING .)

When replacing the AWD control module, perform the configuration. (See AWD CONTROL MODULE CONFIGURATION .)
Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION .)
Remove the rear seat cushion. (See REAR SEAT CUSHION REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
Remove the trunk covering. (See TRUNK COVERING REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
Remove the trunk board. (See TRUNK BOARD REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
Remove in the order indicated in the table.
Install in the reverse order of removal.

NOTE:

If configuration cannot be performed by reading/writing of the coupling component calibration data, perform the coupling component calibration data writing. (See COUPLING COMPONENT CALIBRATION DATA WRITING .)
