GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-7
When removing the battery, be sure to disconnect the nega-
tive cable first and then the positive cable. When reconnect-
ing the battery, connect the positive cable first and then the
negative cable, and replace the terminal cover.
When removing parts that are to be reused, be sure to keep
them arranged in an orderly manner so that they may be rein-
stalled in the proper order and position.
Whenever you use oil seals, gaskets, packing, O-rings, lock-
ing washers, split pins, self-locking nuts, and certain other
parts as specified, be sure to use new ones. Also, before
installing new gaskets, packing, etc., be sure to remove any
residual material from the mating surfaces.
Make sure that all parts used in reassembly are perfectly
clean.
When use of a certain type of lubricant, bond or sealant is
specified, be sure to use the specified type.
“A”: Sealant 99000-31150
Be sure to use special tools when instructed.

0A-10 GENERAL INFORMATION
When disconnecting connectors, never pull the wiring har-
ness. Unlock the connector lock first and then pull them
apart by holding connectors themselves.
When connecting connectors, also hold connectors and put
them together until they lock securely (a click is heard).
When installing the wiring harness, fix it with clamps so that
no slack is left.
When installing vehicle parts, be careful so that the wiring
harness is not interfered with or caught by any other part.

Sensor
ECM
0A-12 GENERAL INFORMATION
When checking connection of terminals, check its male half
for bend and female half for excessive opening and both for
locking (looseness), corrosion, dust, etc.
Before measuring voltage to check for electrical system,
check to make sure that battery voltage is 11 V or higher.
Such terminal voltage check at low battery voltage will lead
to erroneous diagnosis.
ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT INSPECTION
PROCEDURE
While there are various electrical circuit inspection methods, de-
scribed here is a general method to check its open and short circuit
by using an ohmmeter and a voltmeter.
OPEN CIRCUIT CHECK
Possible causes for the open circuit are as follows. As the cause is
in the connector or terminal in many cases, they need to be checked
particularly carefully.
Loose connection of connector.
Poor contact of terminal (due to dirt, corrosion or rust on it, poor
contact tension, entry of foreign object etc.).
Wire harness being open.
When checking system circuits including an electronic control unit
such as ECM, TCM, ABS control module, etc., it is important to per-
form careful check, starting with items which are easier to check.
1) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
2) Check each connector at both ends of the circuit being checked
for loose connection. Also check lock condition of connector if
equipped with connector lock.

1. Looseness of crimping
2. Open
3. Thin wire (single strand of wire)
Check contact tension by
inserting and removing just
for once
GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-13
3) Using a test male terminal, check both terminals of the circuit be-
ing checked for contact tension of its female terminal.
Check each terminal visually for poor contact (possibly caused
by dirt, corrosion, rust, entry of foreign object, etc.).
At the same time, check to make sure that each terminal is
locked in the connector fully.
4) Using continuity check or voltage check procedure described in
the following page, check the wire harness for open circuit and
poor connection with its terminals. Locate abnormality, if any.
Continuity Check
1) Measure resistance between connector terminals at both ends
of the circuit being checked (between A-1 and C-1 in the figure).
If no continuity is indicated (infinity or over limit), that means that
the circuit is open between terminals A-1 and C-1.
2) Disconnect the connector included in the circuit (connector-B in
the figure) and measure resistance between terminals A-1 and
B-1.
If no continuity is indicated, that means that the circuit is open
between terminals A-1 and B-1. If continuity is indicated, there
is an open circuit between terminals B-1 and C-1 or an ab-
normality in connector-B.
Voltage Check
If voltage is supplied to the circuit being checked, voltage check can
be used as circuit check.
1) With all connectors connected and voltage applied to the circuit
being checked, measure voltage between each terminal and
body ground.

PRECAUTION IN SERVICING FULL-TIME 4WD VEHICLE
When performing any of the following types of work, be sure to make the vehicle as front wheel drive by cutting
transmission of driving force to the rear wheels. Otherwise, rear wheels are driven and vehicle accidents, damage
and personal injury may result.
SWITCHING FROM 4WD TO 2WD
Set 4WD / 2WD select lever located at lower side of transfer driven
case to 2WD as follows.
1) Loosen transfer lock bolt.
2) Push in shift fork shaft fully.
3) With shift fork shaft pushed in, tighten transfer lock bolt.

NOTE:
If shift fork shaft is hard to move, try to move it while turning
it to the right and left little by little. Do the same when setting
back to 4WD after servicing vehicle.
Upon completion of servicing, always set shift fork shaft
back to 4WD.
