(6) Check the voltage between the terminals of the Diff.
lock ECU when switching the Diff. lock control
switch with the speedometer, registering approx. 8
km/h (5 mph) or more.
(7) Check that the indicator lights blink when center Diff. lock release mode is set.
Diff. lock is released for both the front wheels and
rear wheels at this time.
(8) Return the Diff. lock control switch to OFF.
(9) Stop the engine and lower the vehicle.
2. INSPECT DIFF. LOCK SYSTEM CIRCUIT
(a) Inspect the system circuit with connector disconnected. Disconnect the connector from the Diff. lock ECU and in-
spect the connector on the wire harness side, as shown
in the chart.

HINT:
When a signal enters the ECU to LOCK the front dif ferential and
set the rear differential to FREE (when battery positive voltage
is inputted to terminal 6 (RF) of ECU and about 0 V is inputted
to terminal 12 (R)), or a signal to FREE both the front and rear
differentials, the indicator lights keep blinking until the ignition
switch is turned off (Fail−safe function).
If the circuit is not as specified, check and repair or replace the
trouble part shown in the table above.
(b) Inspect the battery positive voltage Battery positive voltage: 10 − 14.5 V
(c) Inspect the system circuit with connector connected (1) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(2) Keep the center Diff. lock condition.
(3) Remove the Diff. lock ECU.
(4) Using a voltmeter, measure the voltage when thedifferential lock control switch is in the position, as
shown below.

3. INSPECT DIFF. LOCK ACTUATOR
(a) Jack up the vehicle.
(b) Use the heater main relay and connect it, as shown below.
NOTICE:
Connect the terminals being careful not to touch the neigh-
boring terminals or metallic parts of relay housing.
(c) Rotate the tire and check that differential lock has oc- curred.
If operation is not as specified, replace the actuator.

If continuity is not as specified, replace the switch.
5. INSPECT DIFF. LOCK POSITION SWITCH
(a) Front and Rear:
Inspect the diff. lock position switch.
(1) Check that there is continuity between terminalswhen the switch is pushed (differential connected
position).
(2) Check that there is no continuity when the switch is
free (differential disconnected position).
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
(b) Inspect the center diff. indicator switch.
6. INSPECT VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR AND INDICATOR

INSTALLATION
1. INSTALL FRONT ACTUATOR
(a) Check that the outermost rack tooth of the shift fork is
virtually above the center line of the actuator installation
hole.
(b) Using a dry cell battery, alig n the matchmark on the pinion
with the center line of the actuator.
NOTICE:
If the pinion of the actuator is not in the specified
place, the actuator is difficult to be installed.
Do not supply the battery positive voltage between
terminals.
If the matchmark comes to the extension limit of the
rotation, do not electrify moreover.
(c) Install a new O−ring to the actuator.
(d) Apply a light coat of gear oil on the O −ring.
(e) Apply MP grease to the gear part of the actuator.
(f) Install the actuator to the differential with the 2 nuts and bolt, so that the outermost rack tooth of the shift fork will
fit matchmark of the pinion of the actuator.
HINT:
Do not damage the O −ring of the actuator.
Torque: 26 N·m (270 kgf·cm, 20 ft·lbf)
