Service Precaution
WARNING: IF SO EQUIPPED WITH A
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS),
REFER TO THE SRS COMPONENT AND WIRING
LOCATION VIEW IN ORDER TO DETERMINE
WHETHER YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR
NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS
WIRING. WHEN YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE
ON OR NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS
WIRING, REFER TO THE SRS SERVICE
INFORMATION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS
COULD RESULT IN POSSIBLE AIR BAG
DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL INJURY, OR
OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM REPAIRS.
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the
proper location. When you replace a fastener, use
ONLY the exact part number for that application.
ISUZU will call out those fasteners that require a
replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out
the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread
sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not
use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other
corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or
fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings
adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When
you install fasteners, use the correct tightening
sequence and specifications. Following these
instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and
systems.

DRIVE LINE CONTROL SYSTEM (SHIFT ON THE FLY)
Shift on the Fly System (Lever Type)
Outline of Shift on the Fly System
(Lever Type)
The shift on the fly system (Lever type) switches between
2 wheel drive (2WD) and 4 wheel drive (4WD) by driver’s
shifting the transfer control lever on the floor.
This system controls below operations.
1. Connecting front wheels to, and disconnecting them
from, the front axles by vacuum actuator.
2. Indicator on instrument panel.
3. 4WD signal to Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit for
brake system (If anti–lock brake system is equipped).

4B1–7 DRIVE LINE CONTROL SYSTEM (SHIFT ON THE FLY)
Shift on the Fly System (Push Button Type)
Outline of Shift on the Fly System (Push Button Type)
The shift on the fly system switches between 2 wheel
drive (2WD) and 4 wheel drive (4WD) electrically by
driver’s pressing the 4WD switch (push button type) on
instrument panel.
This system controls below operations. (Shifting between
“4H” and “4L” must be performed by transfer control lever
on the floor.)
1. Shifting the transfer front output gear (Connecting to,
and disconnecting from, front propeller shaft by motor
actuator).2. Retrial of shifting the transfer front output gear.
3. Connecting front wheels to, and disconnecting them
from, the front axles by vacuum actuator.
4. Indicator on instrument panel.
5. 4WD out signal to other Electronic Hydraulic Control
Unit (If anti–lock brake system is equipped).

DRIVE LINE CONTROL SYSTEM (SHIFT ON THE FLY)
Normal Operation
The motor actuator mounted on transfer rear case is
driven by signal from 4WD switch on instrument panel.
After complete the connecting transfer front output gear
to, or disconnecting it from, front propeller shaft, conditionof the transfer position switch changes. The vacuum
solenoid valve (VSV) is driven by the signal from transfer
position switch and the vacuum actuator connects front
wheels to, or disconnect them from, front axles.

4B1–9 DRIVE LINE CONTROL SYSTEM (SHIFT ON THE FLY)
Retrial
The motor actuator starts transfer gear shifting after
signal from 4WD switch on instrument panel has been
received. But the shifting may be impossible in cold
weather or under high speed condition. When 2 seconds
have passed since transfer gear shifting started and the
transfer position switch dose not turn on (the gear
engagement is not completed), the motor reverses its
rotation for 1.2 seconds and tries again to shift transfergear. This procedure is repeated 3 times in maximum.
While this procedure, 4WD indicator lamp blinks by 2 Hz.
If the transfer position switch does not turn on after
aforementioned procedure has been repeated 3 times,
the gear shifting is stopped and 4WD indicator lamp’s
blinking changes from 2Hz to 4Hz to notify driver that the
gear shifting is stopped. This blinking of indicator lamp
continues until 4WD switch is returned from 4WD to 2WD.

DRIVE LINE CONTROL SYSTEM (SHIFT ON THE FLY)
Warning at “4L” position :In view of the shifting
mechanism of transfer, the gear shifting from 4WD to
2WD at “4L” condition is impossible. Therefore, the
transfer position switch can not be turned off by 4WDswitch when vehicle is in “4L” condition. In the case this
condition continues for 2 seconds, the shifting to 2WD is
stopped and the indicator lamp’s blinking changes from
2Hz to 4Hz to notify driver of wrong operation.
