1. Pull out the Hose A in figure and install a vacuum
gauge.
2. Plug up Hose B in figure to prevent the leak of
vacuum.
3. Start the engine and measure vacuum 2 or 3 minutes
afterward.
4. Repeat 1) and 2) but with Hose A plugged and Hose B
pulled out.
5. If vacuum measures –400mmHg, or if it shows a
sudden drop immediately after engine stop, inspect
the hose, tank, and pipe for damage.
NOTE: Be careful not to permit the entry of dust and
water during inspection.
6. Pull out Hose D in above illustration.
7. Plug Hose E in above illustration.
8. Make sure that Hose D in above illustration is under
atmospheric pressure.
9. Pull out Hose E and plug Hose D, and make sure that
Hose E is under atmospheric pressure.
10. If Check 8) or 9) has revealed stoppage, check and
see that there is no bend, foreign matter in the hose or
in the filter. If there is trouble, repair or replace.Check Valve

1. Apply vacuum from the orange colored side(1).
Vacuum:–400mmHg
2. Check leakage of vacuum.
3. Make sure that vacuum cannot be applied from the
black colored side(2).

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.

Retrials from 2WD to 4WD :In cold weather or under
high speed condition, the gear shifting (engagement)sometimes does not complete by 3 trials. In such case,
the indicator lamp inform driver of this incident as
aforementioned chart (shown at Retrial in Outline of shift
on the fly system).
Diagnosis
Before Judging That Troubles Occur
(Unfaulty mode)
When Switching from 2WD to 4WD
1.In case that blinking frequency of the 4WD
indicator changes from 2Hz to 4Hz.
When heavy synchronization load is needed, the
motor actuator tries the shifting transfer gear three
times including the activation shifting. While the
motor actuator tries shifting, the indicator blinks by
2Hz. If the third shifting fails, the indicator’s blinking
changes from 2Hz to 4Hz at the same time that the
motor actuator shifted back to 2WD.
Heavy synchronization load occurs by:
extremely lower temperature.
higher speed, rotation difference of wheels during
cornering.
Solution 1: Operate again after stop the vehicle or
slow down.
2.In case that the 4WD indicator continues blinking
by 2Hz for more than 11.5 seconds.
When there is rotation difference of wheels or there
is phase difference between front wheels and axles,
it is difficult to connect front wheels to front axles. The
blinking by 2Hz shows that shifting the transfer gear
or connecting the front wheels is in the middle of
operating. In above case, the indicator’s blinking by
2Hz shows that connecting the front wheels is not
completed (because the indicator’s blinking changes
to 4Hz when the shifting transfer gear is impossible.).
And removal of rotation or phase difference make
connecting the front wheels possible.
Solution 2: When vehicle is running, drive
straight ahead while accelerating and
decelerating. When vehicle is at a stop, move the
vehicle forward and backward from 2 to 3 meters.When switching from 4WD to 2WD
1.In case that the 4WD indicator continues blinking
by 2Hz .
The 4WD indicator continues blinking by 2Hz until
both shifting the transfer gear and disconnecting the
front wheels are completed when switching 4WD to
2WD. When driveline is loaded with torsional torque,
the shifting transfer gear and disconnecting front
wheels are impossible. In this case, removal of
torsional torque on driveline make the shifting
transfer gear and disconnecting front wheels
possible.
Solution 3: When vehicle is running, drive
straight ahead while accelerating and
decelerating. When vehicle is at a stop, move the
vehicle forward and backward from 2 to 3 meters.
2.In case that the 4WD indicator’s blinking changes
from 2Hz to 4Hz.
Check the position of transfer lever. Is it at “4L”
position? In view of the shifting mechanism of
transfer, the gear shifting from 4WD to 2WD at “4L”
condition is impossible.
Solution 4: Push the 4WD switch to 4WD, shift the
transfer lever to “High” position and re–operate
the 4WD switch to 2WD.
