LINE PRESSURE TEST
Purpose of this test is to check operating conditions of each part by
measuring fluid pressure in fluid pressure line. Line pressure test
requires following conditions.

Automatic fluid is at normal operating temperature (70 to 80C /
158 ± 176F).

Fluid is filled to proper level (between FULL HOT and LOW HOT
on dipstick).
1) Apply parking brake securely and place checks against wheels.
2) Attach oil pressure gauge to fluid pressure check hole in trans-
mission case.
Special Tool
(A): 09925-37810
CAUTION:
After attaching oil pressure gauge, check that not fluid
leakage exists.
3) Depress foot brake fully, run engine at idle and stall and then
check fluid pressure in ªDº or ªRº range.
CAUTION:
Do not continue running engine at stall speed longer than
5 seconds.

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.

Type-1
BRAKE INTERLOCK SYSTEM
SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID CONTROL
This system consists of shift lock solenoid control system and inter-
lock cable control system.
The shift lock solenoid control system is so designed that the selec-
tor lever can not be shifted from ªPº range position unless the igni-
tion switch is turned ON and the brake pedal is depressed. And the
interlock cable control system is so designed that the selector lever
cannot be shifted from ªPº range position unless the ignition switch
is turned to ªACCº or ªONº position. Also, the ignition key cannot be
pulled out of the key slot unless the selector lever is in ªPº range.
SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID CONTROL OPERATIONS
When the select lever is in ªPº range, the ignition key position is
ªONº and depressing the brake pedal cause the electric current to
flow to the solenoid. As the shift lock solenoid rod (or the lock plate)
is drawn toward the solenoid in this state, it frees the interlock cam
(or the detent pin), which then allows the select lever to be shifted
from ªPº range to any other position.
Even when the select lever is in ªPº range, if the ignition key position
is ªLOCKº or ªACCº or the brake pedal is not depressed, the electric
current does not flow to the solenoid.
In this state, the shift lock solenoid rod (or the lock plate) is pushed
away from the solenoid by spring force and it obstructs the interlock
cam (or the detent pin) movement. Thus the select lever button
does not work even when pressed and the select lever shift is pre-
vented.

DISASSEMBLY
1) Remove boot and then circlip with piston pushed in.
2) Remove push rod and blow compressed air gradually into hole
for pipe connection to remove piston assembly, using care to
prevent it from jumping out.
INSPECTION
Inspect all disassembled parts for wear or damage and replace
parts if necessary.
NOTE:

Wash disassembled parts with brake fluid.

Do not reuse piston assembly and circlip.
Inspect cylinder bore for scoring or corrosion. It is best to replace
corroded cylinder. Corrosion can be identified as pits or excessive
roughness.
NOTE:
Polishing bore of cylinder with anything abrasive is prohib-
ited, as damage to cylinder bore may occur.
Rinse cylinder in clean brake fluid. Shake excess rinsing fluid from
cylinder. Do not use a cloth to dry cylinder, as lint from cloth cannot
be kept away from cylinder bore surfaces.
ASSEMBLY
NOTE:
Before installation, wash each part in specified brake fluid.
1) Apply brake fluid to inside of piston assembly and cylinder body.
2) Install piston assembly into cylinder.
3) With piston pushed down, install circlip as shown.
And install boot.

TRANSFER 7D-1
The aluminum transfer case directly connected to the
back of the transmission contains the input gear,
countershaft & gear, output rear shaft, output low gear
and output front shaft (for front drive) connected by
way of the hyvo-chain.
The transfer has such a selective mechanism as to
enable the shift control lever to make selection of high
speed (direct connection with transmission output:
main shaft), low speed (speed reduction by input
gear, counter gear and output low gear) or neutral by
way of the reduction sleeve located between input
gear and output low gear, and selection of two-wheel-
drive (high speed only) or four-wheel-drive (high or
low speed) by way of the front drive clutch sleeve lo-cated at the center of the output rear shaft. Also, with
a synchronizer installed to the front drive clutch, it is
possible to change the drive mode between 2WD
(high speed only) and 4WD (high speed only) even
while running.
The front drive shift fork has an auxiliary spring to
make a smooth shift from 4H to 2H possible.
The case has an oil gutter and a plate at synchronizer
to provide proper lubrication even under the strict
conditions of use.
WARNING:
For towing the vehicle for the purpose of repair or
the like, follow the towing instructions in OWN-
ER'S MANUAL.

DIAGNOSIS
DIAGNOSIS TABLE
Before attempting to repair the transfer or related components for any reason other than mechanical failure, the
condition and probable causes should be identified.
Transfer failures are revealed by shifting difficulties such as excessive shifting effort, gear clash, or gear grinding.
When any of these conditions occur, the following inspections should be made before disassembling the transfer.
1) Check transfer oil level for insufficient or incorrect oil. Refer to ªTransfer and Differential Oil Inspection and
Changeº in SECTION 0B ªMAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATIONº.
2) Check transfer mountings for wear or looseness.
3) Check gearshift control lever for distortion or excessive wear.
After performing the above inspections, refer to following diagnosis table.
