Symptom-to-Component Chart
Hydraulic System
Before troubleshooting a problem on Hydraulic system, check the self-diagnosis Dl ('97 - 98) or Lq ('99 - 00) indicator
light indication. lf the El or E indicator light indicates a trouble code, perform the electrical troubleshooting according to
the Electrical System-to-Component Chart. lf the Ol or E indicator light does not indicate a trouble code and failure is not
found on the electrical troubleshooting, perform the hydraulic troubleshooting following the chart.

4. Check that the hole in the cable adjuster is aligned
with the hole in the adjusting rod. There are two
holes in the cable adjuster. They are positioned 90"
apart to allow cable adjustments ln l/4 turn incre-
ments.

CablsToo Short
lf not perfectly aligned, loosen the locknut on the
shitt cable. and adjust as required.
Tighten the locknut.
Install the lock pin on the adjuster. lf you feel the
lock pin binding as you reinstall it, the cable is still
out of adjustment and must be readjusted.
Make sure the lock pin is seated securely in the
adjuster. Replace the lock pin if it does not snap
over the cable adjuster securely.
Move the shift lever to each gear, and verify that the
A/T gear position indicator follows the A"/T gear
position switch.
Start the engine, and check the shift lever in all
gears. lf any gear does not work properly, refer to
troubleshooting on page 14-'153 thru 14-156.
Insert the ignition key into the key cylinder on the
upper column cover, and verify that the shift lock

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
the torque control differential case kit.
