4. INSPECT DIFF. LOCK CONTROL SWITCH
Inspect the switch continuity between terminals, as shown.
Switch PositionTerminalsSpecified Condition
OFF1 − 2No continuity
1 − 4No continuity
RR1 − 2No continuity
1 − 4Continuity
FR RR1 − 2Continuity
1 − 4Continuity
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
LIGHT
(a) Inspect the vehicle speed sensor (See page BE−34).
(b) Inspect the indicator light.

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)

STEERING WHEEL
INSPECTION
1. CHECK STEERING WHEEL FREEPLAY
(a) With the vehicle stopped and tires pointed straight ahead,
rock the steering wheel gently back and forth with light fin-
ger pressure.
(b) Freeplay should not exceed the maximum. Maximum freeplay: 40 mm (1.58 in.)
If the freeplay exceeds the maximum, adjust it in the following
procedure.
2. ADJUST STEERING GEAR
(a) Point the front wheels straight ahead.
(b) Loosen the adjusting screw lock nut.
(c) Turn the cross shaft adjusting screw clockwise to de- crease steering wheel freeplay and counterclockwise to
increase it.
HINT:
Turn the adjusting screw in small increments and check the
freeplay between each adjustment.
(d) Turn the steering wheel half way around in both direc- tions.
(e) Check that the freeplay is correct and steering is smooth and without rough spots.
(f) Torque the adjusting screw lock nut (See page SR−41).
3. CHECK STEERING EFFORT
(a) Center the steering wheel.
(b) Remove the steering wheel pad (See page SR−11).
(c) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(d) Measure the steering effort in both directions.
