14. w/o DIFFERENTIAL LOCK:
INSTALL ADJUSTING NUTS
Install the 2 adjusting nuts on the carrier, making sure the nuts
are threaded properly.
15. w/o DIFFERENTIAL LOCK: INSTALL BEARING CAPS
Align the matchmarks on the cap and carrier. Screw in the 2
bearing cap bolts 2 or 3 turns and press down the bearing cap
by hand.
HINT:
If the bearing cap does not fit tightly on the carrier , the adjusting
nuts are not threaded properly.
Reinstall the adjusting nuts if necessary.
16. w/o DIFFERENTIAL LOCK: ADJUST SIDE BEARING PRELOAD
(a) Torque the 4 bearing cap bolts to the specified torque, then loosen them to the point where the adjusting nuts
can be turned by SST.
SST 09504−00011
Torque:78 N·m (800 kgf·cm, 58 ft·lbf)
(b) Fully tighten the 4 bearing cap bolts by hand.
(c) Using the SST, torque the adjusting nut on the ring gear side until the ring has a backlash of about 0.2 mm (0.008
in.).
(d) With turning the ring gear, use the SST to fully tighten the
adjusting nut on the drive pinion side. After the bearings
as settled, loosen the adjusting nut on the drive pinion
side.
(e) Place a dial indicator on the top of the adjusting nut on the ring gear side.
(f) Adjust the side bearing for zero preload by tightening the
other adjusting nut until the pointer on the indicator be-
gins to move.

nuts equal amounts. For example, loosen the nut on the left
side one notch and torque the nut on the right side one notch.

(j) Recheck the ring gear backlash. Backlash: 0.15 − 0.20 mm (0.0059−0.0079 in.)
17. MEASURE TOTAL PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the preload.
Total preload (at starting):
Drive pinion preload plus
w/o Differential lock
0.4 − 0.6 N·m (4 − 6 kgf·cm, 3.5 − 5.2 in.·lbf)
w/ Differential lock
0.3− 0.7 N·m (3 − 7 kgf·cm, 2.6 − 6.1 in.·lbf)
18. INSPECT TOOTH CONTACT BETWEEN RING GEAR AND DRIVE PINION
(a) Coat 3 or 4 teeth at 3 different positions on the ring gear
with red lead.
(b) Turn the companion flange, pin both directions to inspect the ring gear for proper tooth contact.

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.

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.
