  • When the 4WD relay is on and the voltage at the IG1 terminal is 9.5 V or more, the 4WD relay monitor remains off for 1 second or more.
  • When the 4WD relay is on and the voltage at the IG1 terminal is less than 9.5 V, 1 second or more elapses without the 4WD relay monitor turning on.
  • When the 4WD relay is off, the 4WD relay monitor remains on for 1 second or more immediately after the ignition switch is turned to ON.
  • Wire harness or connector
  • 4WD ECU assembly
