Right turn2 − 3Continuity
If continuity is not as specified, replace the switch.
2. INSPECT HAZARD WARNING SWITCH CONTINUITY

Switch OFF7 − 10Continuity
Switch ON4 − 5 − 6 − 9

If continuity is not as specified, replace the switch.
3. INSPECT TURN SIGNAL FLASHER OPERATION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
2 and the negative (−) lead to terminal 3.
(b) Connect the 2 turn signal light bulbs parallel to each other
to terminals 1 and 3, check that the bulbs flash.
HINT:
The turn signal lights should flash 60 or 120 times per minute.
If one of the front or rear turn signal lights has an open circuit,
the number of flashing will be more than 140 per minute.
If operation is not as specified, replace the flasher.

10. Center Differential Control Clutch:
HYDRAULIC TEST
(a) Preparation.
(1) Warm up the ATF.
(2) Remove the test plug and connect SST (See page AX−18 for the location to connect SST).
SST SST 09992−00094 (09992−00111)
CAUTION:
Perform the test at normal operating ATF temperature 50 − 80°C (122 − 176°F)
The line pressure test should always be carried out in pairs. One should observe the conditions
of wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is performing the test.
(b) Measure the center differential clutch control pressure.
(1) Start the vehicle and open the accelerator open 50 % or more and check that the center differen-
tial clutch control pressure is in the range from more than 294 kPa (3.0 kgf/cm
2, 42 psi).
(2) Fully close the accelerator and check that the SST registers 9.8 kPa (0.1 kgf/cm
2, 1.4 psi) or less.
CAUTION:
Confirm safety of the road before checking.
Take care to avoid slip when you start the vehicle on a paved road.
Check the pressure at normal driving ATF temperature 50 − 80°C (122 − 176°F).
Reference:
To measure center differential control pressure to be measured with the solenoid opened by applying voltage
to it, refer to the following:
Prepare a sub−assembly for checking as follows:
Prepare a supply connector (Part No. 90980−10629, or 90980−11143)
Connect a harness of 2 − 3 m (6.6 − 9.8 ft) to terminal 1 of the connector.
Place a bulb of 24W in between the harness.
Connect a harness of 2 − 3 m (6.6 − 9.8 ft) to terminal 3 of the connector.
Connect the inspection’s sub−harness assembly to the solenoid connector of the transfer.
Connect terminal 1 of the sub−harness to the battery’s positive (+) terminal, and terminal 3 of the sub−
harness to the battery’s negative (−) terminal.
Measure the center differential control pressure at idling and when performing the stall test (When 1st
gear).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check shift solenoid valve SLD.
Check solenoid resistance:
PREPARATION:
(a) Jack up the vehicle.
(b) Remove the oil pan.
(c) Disconnect the connector.
CHECK:
Measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of the sole-
noid connector.
OK:
Resistance: 5.1 − 5.5 Ω
Check solenoid operation:
CHECK:
Connect positive lead with an 8 − 10 W bulb to terminal 1 of
the solenoid connector and nagative lead to terminal 2, then
check the movement of the valve.
OK:
When battery positive voltage is appliedValve moves in → direction in illumina-
tion (on the left)
When battery positive voltage is cut offValve moves in ← direction in illumina-
tion (on the right)

ABS Warning Light Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
If the ECU detects trouble, it lights the ABS warning light while at the same time prohibiting ABS control. At
this time, the ECU records a DTC in memory. After removing the short pin of the DLC1, connect terminals
Tc and E1 of the DLC1 to make the ABS warning light blink and output the DTC.
WIRING DIAGRAM
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Troubleshooting in accordance with the chart below for each trouble symptom.
ABS warning light does not light upGo to step 1
ABS warning light remains onGo to step 3
1 Check ABS warning light.
See combination meter troubleshooting on page BE−2.
NG Replace bulb or combination meter assembly.
