Start the engine, and let it run until it warms up (the
radiator fan comes on at least twice).
With the engine at idle. shift to the E position.
Apply the parking brake firmly. and measure thetime it takes the propeller shaft to rotate 10 times.. lf the measured time is more than 10 seconds,
the 4WD system is normal.
. lf the time is less than 10 seconds, there is aproblem in 4WD system. Check the differential
fluid. lf the differential fluid is normal, replace
