Thermal Switch Operation l2WD)
During 4WD operation, pressure-regulated fluid is in contact with the clutch piston and the thermal switch.
lf the temperature of the fluid in the differential goes too high, the thermal switch pushes open the relief valve R. This
causes the pressure in the clutch piston to drop, and 4WD mode is disengaged.
THERMAL SWITCHRELIEF VALVE
Reliet Valve Operation
When the fluid pressure goes higher than the relief valve spring force, check valve R opens. Pressure applied at the clutch
piston is held constant. This feature adds stability by preventing the rear wheel drive system from experiencing excessive
to rque.

Note these items during disassembly:' lf an intact airbag assembly has been removed from a scrapped vehicle or has been found defective or damaged dur-ing transit, storage or service. it should be deployed (see section 24),a Before removing the gearbox, remove the driver.s airbag assembly and steering wheel.. After installing the gearbox, check the wheel alignment and adjust if necessary.
SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations, precautions, and procedures an the SRssection (24) before performing repairs or servrce.

Troubleshooting
General Troubleshootin g
Check the following before you begin:
. Has the suspension been modified in a way that would affect steering?
. Are tire sizes, tire variety and air pressure correct?
. ls the steering wheel original equipment or equivalent?
. ls the power steering pump belt properly adjusted?
. ls steering fluid reservoir filled to proper level?
. ls the engine idle speed correct and steady?
Hard Steering (Check the power assist, see page 17-12. lf the force is over 29 N (3.0 kgl 6.6 lbfl, proceed with this troubleshooting.i

Troubleshooting
Noise and Vibration
NOTE: Pump noise in first 2 - 3 minutes after starting in cold weather is normal.
Humming
Rattle or chattering
Humming due to pulsation of fluid is normal, particularly when the wheel isturned with the vehicle stooDed.
lf equipped with automatic trans-mission, the hum could be thetorque converter or pump noase.
Confirm by temporarily removingthe pump belt.
Feed hose (high-pressure) touch-ing the frame.Beposition the feed hose.
Loose steering shaft connector,tie-rod, or balljoint.Check and tighten, or replaceparts as necessary,
Column shaft wobbling.Roplace the column assembly.
Check the rack guide for properadjustment (see page 17-15).Adjust, if necessary.
Rattling sound and feeling when turning the steering wheel right and left with th€engine OFF is normal.
Pump noise, though not loud, from the valve body unit can be heard when turn-ing the steering wheel to full lock in either direction. This is normal. Do not holdthe steering wheel at full lock lor more than five seconds when inspecting.

Troubleshooting
Fluid Leaks
Check the gearbox assembly for oil leaks carefully. Oil can leak out ot various points, depending on location of the faulty
oil seals/seal rings. Check the following before removing the gearbox from the frame.
Steering GearboxLeaking from the oil seal on thetop of the valve housing.Replace the valve oil seal fromthe valve housing.
Leaking from cylinder end intoleft tie rod boot.Replace the valve oil seal fromthe pinion shaft.
Replace the cylinder end seal onthe valve body unit side.
Leaking from cylinder end intoright tie-rod boot.Replace the cylinder end seal onthe cylinder end side.
Leaking lrom the shaft upper endsection or pin engagement sec-tion of the pinion shaft.Replace the valve body unit.
Tighten the connector. It it's stillleaking, replace the line, cylinderor valve housing.
Leaking from cylinder line A or Bconnections (at tlare nut).
Leaking caused by a damagedcylinder line A or B.Replace cylinder line A or B.
Leaking from pump outlet hoseand return line joint fitting on thevalve body unit {at tlare nut}.
Tighten the connector. ll it's stillleaking, replace the line, joint fit-ting or valve housing,

lnspection and Adjustment
Pump Pressure Gheck With T/N 07406 - 0010001
Check the fluid pressure as follows to determine whetherthe trouble is in the pump orgearbox.
1. Check the powsr steering fluid level (see page 17-15), and pump belt tension (see page 17-14).
2. Disconnect the pump outlet hose from the pump
outlet with care so as not to spill the pow€r steeringiluid on the frame and other pans. thon install theP/S joint adapter (pumpl on the pump outlet.

6. Fully open the pressure controlvatve.
7. Start the engine and let it idle.
8. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock severaltimes to warm the fluid to operating temperature.
9, Measure steady-state fluid pressure while the engineis idling. lf the pump is in good condition, the gauge
should read less than 1,500 kPa (15 kgf/cmr, 213 psi).
lf it reads high, check the outlet hose or valve bodvunit (see General Troubleshooting).
10. Close the pressure control valve, then close theshut-off valve gradually until the pressure gauge
nsedle is stable. Read the pressure.

lf the pump is in good condition, the gauge shouldread at least 6,900 - 7,800 kpa (70 - 80 kgflcmr,'1,000 - 1.140 psi). A low reading means pump out-put is too low for full assist. Repair or replace theDUMD.
