Operation Description
POWER TRANSFER DIAGRAM

ELECTRIC CONTROLLED COUPLING
-
The AWD control unit supplies command current to electric controlled coupling (AWD solenoid).

-
The control clutch is engaged by electromagnet and torque is detected in control clutch.
-
The cam operates in response to control clutch torque and applies pressure to main clutch.
-
The main clutch transmits torque to front wheels according to pressing power.

DTC Description
DTC DETECTION LOGICThe heated oxygen sensor 2 has a much longer switching time between rich and lean than the air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1. The oxygen storage capacity of the three way catalyst 1 causes the longer switching time. To judge the malfunctions of heated oxygen sensor 2, ECM monitors whether the switching response of the sensor's voltage is faster than specified during various driving conditions such as fuel cut...
