C1684

C1684, C1685 4WAS MAIN CONTROL UNIT COMMUNICATION

Description
^ 4WAS front control unit and 4WAS main control unit transmit/receive information to/from each other for optimum control of the 4WAS system with the specified 4WAS system line (4WAS communication line) between 4WAS front control unit and 4WAS main control unit.
^ Be careful to repair wirings because 4WAS system specified line adopts twisted-pair wires. Refer to STC-176, "Precautions for Harness Repair". With 4WAS

DTC Logic
