On-vehicle Service
PROPELLER SHAFT VIBRATION
If vibration is present at high speed, inspect propeller shaft runout
®rst.
1. Raise front and rear wheels.
2. Measure propeller shaft runout at several points by rotating
®nal drive companion ¯ange with hands.
Runout limit: 0.6 mm (0.024 in)
3. If runout exceeds speci®cations, disconnect propeller shaft at
®nal drive companion ¯ange; then rotate companion ¯ange 180
degrees and reconnect propeller shaft.
4. Check runout again. If runout still exceeds speci®cations,
replace propeller shaft assembly.
5. Perform road tests.
APPEARANCE CHECKING
+Inspect propeller shaft tube surface for dents or cracks. If
damaged, replace propeller shaft assembly.

CAUTION:
Do not run engine when one wheel (rear) is off the ground.
Preparation for Disassembly
CHECKING DIFFERENTIAL TORQUE
Measure differential torque with Tool.
If it is not within the speci®cations, inspect components of limited
slip differential.
Differential torque:
108 - 137 Nzm (11 - 14 kg-m, 80 - 101 ft-lb)

DIFFERENTIAL LOCK CONTROL UNIT CHECK
On-vehicle check
Be sure that vehicle is in 4WD.
Operate vehicle at a speed less than 7 km/h (4 MPH) or
when stopping.
Turn differential lock switch ON.
Ensure differential lock indicator lamp is on.
Ye s
cNo
Malfunction is in system other than differential lock con-
trol unit, speed sensor. Check and correct.
Turn differential lock switch OFF while driving vehicle at
speed less than 7 km/h (4 MPH) or when stopping.
Drive vehicle at speed greater than 7 km/h (4 MPH) and
turn differential lock switch ON.
Ensure differential lock indicator lamp is on.
No
cYe s
When speed sensor functions, differential lock control
unit functions improperly.
Differential lock control unit is functioning properly.Check differential lock control unit.
Unit check
1. Ensure that wiring to differential lock control unit is correct and
that the unit is properly connected to power supply.
2. Place vehicle on a safety stand properly. Ensure that the front
and rear wheels rotate freely.
3. Check output voltage of differential lock at solenoid-2 connec-
tor.
