Inspection and Repair
Make necessary correction or parts replacement if wear,
damage, corrosion or any other abnormal conditions are
found through inspection.
Check the following parts:
Ring gear, pinion gear
Bearing
Side gear, pinion mate gear, differential shaft
Differential cage, carrier
Thrust washer
Oil seal
Ring gear replacement:
1. The ring gear should always be replaced with the
drive pinion as a set.
2. Discard used bolts and install new ones.
3. Tighten the fixing bolts in a diagonal sequence as
illustrated.

DRIVE LINE CONTROL SYSTEM (TOD) 4B2–2
General Description
C07RW014–1
TOD (Torque on Demand) system is traction state control
system to vehicle.
Transfer Position and Drive Mode
Three drive modes can be selected through operation of
4WD switch and transfer lever.
Transfer Position
TOD SWModeDrive mode
HIGHON (NORMAL)2HRear wheel drive
OFF (PUSHED)TODElectronically controlled torque split
four wheel drive
4LON/OFF4LLow-speed mechanical lock-up four
wheel drive
The electronic control unit (ECU) judges the signals from
the transfer lever and controls the transfer drive mode
and shift-on-the-fly system status.
TOD Control
The TOD position usually drives the rear wheels, and
transmits the torque to the front wheels with the help of
electronically controlled torque split mechanism
according to running conditions encountered. The driving
force is directly transmitted to the rear wheels. This force
is split by the transfer and delivered to the front wheels.
The magnitude of the torque transmitted to the front
wheels is controlled by changing the pressing force of the
electromagnetic multi plate disk clutch built in the transfer
unit. The pressing force of the clutch is controlled bychanging the voltage to the electromagnetic coil mounted
to the rear of the clutch. When the clutch is completely
disengaged, the rear wheels are driven. When the clutch
is completely engaged, a rigid four wheel drive mode is
obtained. The torque split status is controlled
continuously between the rear wheel and four wheel drive
modes. This system includes front and rear speed
sensors, and throttle position sensor that monitors the
engine output.
The control unit receives signals sent from these sensors
and changes the pressing force of the electromagnetic
multi plate disk clutch to determine the torque distribution
on the front and rear wheels. Therefore, when the slip of
the rear wheels is increased against the current torque
level in the normal rear wheel drive mode, the control unit

Front and Rear Speed Sensors
The sensors are built in the transfer case, detect the
rotation of rotors directly coupled to the propeller shafts.
Thirty rectangular pulses are output per one rotation of
the propeller shaft.

Electromagnetic Coil
Receives the duty signals from the TOD control unit and
controls the pressing force of the clutch pressure cam.

Multi Plate Disk Clutch Pack
Transmits the torque determined by the clutch pressing
force to the front propeller shaft via the front drive chain.
262RW029
Mechanical Lock Sleeve
Couples the front and rear propeller shaft mechanically
when the transfer shaft is in the 4L position.

DRIVE LINE CONTROL SYSTEM (TOD) 4B2–6
High-Low Planetary Gear Set
Establishes an auxiliary transmission mechanism. When
the transfer shift lever is set to the 2H or TOD position, the
reduction gear ratio is 1.000 and the corresponding
driving force is generated. When the transfer shift lever is
set to the 4L position, the reduction gear ratio is 2.480 and
the corresponding driving force is generated.
262RW030
4H and 4L Switches
Detects the shift position of the transfer from the
movement of the transfer lever and outputs signals to the
TOD control unit.
261RW002
Transfer Connector
Transmits the input and output signals of the speed
sensors, electromagnetic coil, and 4H and 4L switches to
the vehicle harness. A waterproof 12-pin type is used.
