TROUBLESHOOTING
Road Test
This test is to check if upshift and downshift take place at specified speed while actually driving vehicle on a
level road.
1) Warm up engine.
2) With engine running at idle, shift select lever “D”.
3) Accelerate vehicle speed by depressing accelerator pedal gradually.
4) While driving in “D” range, check if gear shift occurs properly as shown in “GEAR SHIFT DIAGRAM” in this
section.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Condition Possible cause
Line pressure higher than standard level in each
range•Malfunctioning regulator valve
•Malfunctioning throttle valve
•Maladjusted A/T throttle cable
Line pressure lower than standard level in each
range•Defective O/D clutch
•Defective oil pump
•Malfunctioning throttle valve
•Malfunctioning regulator value
•Maladjusted A/T throttle cable
Line pressure lower than standard level only in
“D” range•Fluid leakage from forward clutch
•Defective O/D clutch
•Leakage from “D” range fluid pressure circuit
Line pressure lower than standard level only in
“R” range•Fluid leakage from direct clutch
•Defective O/D clutch
•Fluid leakage from reverse brake
•Fluid leakage from “R” range fluid circuit
WARNING:
Carry out test in very little traffic area to prevent an accident.
Test requires 2 persons, a driver and a tester.
Condition Possible cause
When 1 → 2 upshift fails to occur 1–2 shift valve stuck
When 2 → 3 upshift fails to occur 2–3 shift valve stuck
When 3 → O/D upshift fails to occur 3–4 shift valve stuck
When gear shift point is incorrect•Maladjusted throttle cable
•Defective shift solenoid valve -A or -B
•1–2, 2–3 or 3–4 shift valve not operating properly

Differential Assembly Diagnosis Table
4WD Control System Diagnostic Flow Table
Before performing the trouble diagnosis, check that the transfer and front differential are in good condition and
there is no air leakage from air hoses and the actuator. Refer to “4WD CONTROL SYSTEM INSPECTION” in
this section for air leakage.
Notes on system circuit inspection
•Be sure to read “PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT SERVICE” in Section 0A before circuit
inspection and observe what is written there.
•For system circuit, refer to the figure of “GENERAL DESCRIPTION” in this section.
•For terminal arrangement, refer to “4WD CONTROL CIRCUIT INSPECTION” in this section. Condition Possible Cause Correction

REMOUNTING
For remounting, reverse dismounting procedure and use the fol-
lowing tightening torque.

7F-2 DIFFERENTIAL (REAR)
General Description
The differential assembly using a hypoid bevel pinion and gear is installed to the rear axle. It is set in the conven-
tional type axle housing.
The differential assembly is decisive in that the drive power is concentrated there. Therefore, use of genuine
parts and specified torque is compulsory. Further, because of sliding tooth meshing with high pressure between
bevel pinion and gear, it is mandatory to lubricate them by hypoid gear oil.
