22. INSTALL OIL SEAL
(a) Using SST and a hammer, install a new oil seal, as shown.
SST 09214−76011
Oil seal drive in depth: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
(b) Apply MP grease to the oil seal lip.
23. INSTALL COMPANION FLANGE
(a) Install the companion flange with SST. SST 09550 −30010 (09951 −03010, 09953 −03010,
09954 −03010, 09955 −03030, 09956−03020)
(b) Install the plate washer and a new nut.
HINT:
Coat the threads of a new nut with gear oil.
(c) Using SST to hold the flange, tighten the nut. SST 09330−00021
Torque: 245 N·m (2,500 kgf·cm, 181 ft·lbf)
24. ADJUST DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the preload of the backlash
between the drive pinion and ring gear. Preload (at starting):
New bearing
1.3 − 2.0 N·m (13 − 20 kgf·cm, 11.3 − 17.4 in.·lbf)
Reused bearing
0.7 − 1.0 N·m (7 − 10 kgf·cm, 6.1 − 8.7 in.·lbf)
If the preload is greater than the specification, replace the bear-
ing spacer.
If the preload is less than the specification, retighten the nut a
little at a time 13 N·m (130 kgf·cm, 9 ft·lbf) until the specified pre-
load is reached. Maximum torque: 441 N·m (4,500 kgf·cm, 326 ft·lbf)
If the maximum torque is exceeded while retightening the nut,
replace the bearing spacer and repeat the preload procedure.
Do not back off the pinion nut to reduce the preload.

DIFFERENTIAL LOCKING SYSTEM
ON−VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL LOCK SYSTEM
(a) Inspect the indicator lights.
Check that the indicator lights (front side and rear side)
light up for approx. 1 second when the ignition switch is
turned ON.
(b) Inspect the differential lock operation. (1) Jack up the vehicle then start the engine.
(2) Put the transfer shift lever on the L position.
(3) When the Diff. lock control switch is set to the RR
position, the indicator light (rear side) is turned on.
Differential lock is applied to the rear wheel at this
time.
HINT:
If the gears of the differential lock system are not meshed, the
indicator light remains blinking, so rotate the tires to mesh the
gear.
(4) When the Diff. lock control switch is at the OFF posi-
tion, the indicator light goes off.
Differential lock is released for the rear wheel at this
time.
(5) When the Diff. lock control switch is set to the FR/ RR position, the indicator lights (front side and rear
side) are turned on.
Differential lock is applied to both the front wheels
and rear wheels at this time.

(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.

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.
