2) Check that center line on manual valve shaft and ªNº reference
line on switch are aligned. If not, loosen switch bolt and align
them.
3) Check that engine starts in ªNº and ªPº ranges but it doesn't start
in ªDº, ª2º, ªLº or ªRº range. Also, check that back-up lamp lights
in ªRº range.
4) If faulty condition cannot be corrected by adjustment, discon-
nect transmission range switch coupler and check that continu-
ity exists as shown by moving select lever.

REMOVAL
1) Pull out dipstick and lift up vehicle.
2) With engine cooled, remove drain plug from oil pan and drain
A / T fluid.
3) Install drain plug with gasket.

4) Remove exhaust pipe bracket and disconnect front propeller
shaft from front differential (if equipped).
5) Remove oil pan bolts.
6) Remove oil pan.
7) Remove oil tubes.
8) Remove solenoid valve No.1 (shift solenoid valve A and B) or so-
lenoid valve No.2 (TCC solenoid valve).
OPERATION CHECK
Whenever shift solenoid valves and TCC (lock-up) solenoid valve
are removed from transmission, verify their valve function physical-
ly before they are reinstalled.
1) Apply oiler to solenoid valve and give compression by hands
and then check to be sure that transmission fluid from oiler does
not come out of holes in solenoid valve when battery voltage is
not conducted.
2) Under the same conditions as above, conduct battery voltage
and then make sure that fluid comes out with vigor.
NOTE:
If fluid does not come out with vigor in above step 2 in-
spection, do not re-use that solenoid valve.
Figure at the left shows shift solenoid valve check.
Check TCC solenoid valve also in the same way.

INSTALLATION
Reverse removal procedure to install solenoid valves and noting
the following points.
For details of solenoid valve installation, refer to ªUnit Repairº
section. Use new gasket and O-ring.
Install oil tubes in such order as shown in figure.
For details of oil pan installation, refer to ªUnit Repairº section.
Use new oil pan gasket.
Tighten universal joint flange bolts & nuts and exhaust pipe brack-
et bolts to specified torque.
Fill A / T fluid and check fluid level according to procedure de-
scribed in ªCHANGING FLUIDº previously.
Check for fluid leakage after warming up A / T.

12) Remove engine to transmission nuts.
13) Disconnect connectors from VSS, output speed sensor, input
speed sensor, TR switch, shift & TCC solenoid valves and oth-
er electrical parts, and release their wire harness from clamps.
14) Apply transmission jack and take off rear mounting member by
removing its bolts.
15) With transmission (and transfer if equipped) assembly held up
on jack, move them to the rear and lower them including torque
converter.
WARNING:
Transmission (and transfer if equipped) assembly may
tilt rearward on jack. It is recommended to use an auxil-
iary arm of jack for the purpose of safety.
AFTER DISMOUNTING
WARNING:
Be sure to keep transmission (and transfer if equipped) as-
sembly horizontal throughout the work. Should they be
tilted, torque converter may fall off and cause personal inju-
ry and A / T fluid may flow out.
1) Remove breather hoses.
2) Remove transfer by removing its bolts, if equipped.

Components and Functions
ComponentFunction
4WD switch
When the transfer shift lever is shifted to 4L or 4H position, this switch turns ON
and causes the 4WD control system to turn ON, unless it is shifted to N or 2H
within 1 second.
ECM or PCM
When the 4WD switch turns ON [unless it turns OFF within 1 second], this com-
ponent actuates the pump assembly. If the pressure in the air pump assembly
fails to increase higher than the set level even after the pump motor has run more
than 10 seconds, this component stops the motor to protect it.
Air pump assembly
Pump motor
Release valve
Pressure switchThe air pump assembly consists of a pump motor, release valve and a pressure
switch.
Pump motor:
Produces positive pressure which actuates the actuator.
Release valve:
Closes when transfer shift lever is shifted to 4H or 4L so that the positive pressure
is applied to the actuator, and opens when N or 2H to release the pressure to the
atmosphere.
Pressure switch:
Turns ON and OFF depending on the pressure level in the pump assembly
(whether higher or lower than the set pressure level). ECM or PCM detects the
pressure level through this switch.
Differential case assembly
Free axle hub
Axle lock clutch
ActuatorThe free axle hub, axle lock clutch and actuator are installed in the differential
left case. The positive pressure produced in the air pump assembly is applied
to the actuator which then pushes the axle lock clutch to be engaged with the free
axle hub. In this state, the drive force is transmitted to the front axle, resulting in
the 4WD mode.
When the actuator is free from the positive pressure [when it is under the atmo-
spheric pressure], the axle lock clutch is pushed back by the return spring force
and cannot be engaged with the free axle hub, resulting in the 2WD mode.
ª4WDº indicator lampIt lights up when 4WD control system is in the 4WD mode.
