IBefore replacing Transfer control unit, perform Transfer
control unit input/output signal inspection and make sure
whether Transfer control unit functions properly or not.
(See page TF-55.)
Service NoticeNBTF00021) Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the all-mode 4WD transfer. It is
important to prevent the internal parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
2) Disassembly should be done in a clean work area.
3) Use lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common shop rags can leave fibers that could inter-
fere with the operation of the all-mode 4WD transfer.
4) Place disassembled parts in order for easier and proper assembly.
5) All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or
reassembly.
6) Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the all-mode 4WD transfer is disassembled.
7) It is very important to perform functional tests whenever they are indicated.
8) The valve body contains precision parts and requires extreme care when parts are removed and serviced.
Place removed parts in a parts rack in order to replace them in correct positions and sequences. Care will
also prevent springs and small parts from becoming scattered or lost.
9) Properly installed valves, sleeves, plugs, etc. will slide along bores in valve body under their own weight.
10) Before assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF to all parts. Apply petroleum jelly to protect O-rings
and seals, and to hold bearings and washers in place during assembly. Do not use grease.
11) Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings, seals and gaskets when assembling.
12) After overhaul, refill the transfer with new ATF.
13) When the all-mode 4WD transfer drain plug is removed, only some of the fluid is drained. Old all-mode
4WD transfer fluid will remain in torque converter and ATF cooling system. Always follow the procedures,

Condition Content 4WD warning lamp
During self-diagnosis Indicates the malfunction position by number of flickers. Flickers at malfunction mode.
Lamp check*Checks the lamp by turning ON during engine starting. After
engine starts, it turns OFF if there are no malfunctions.ON
Malfunction in 4WD system*Turns ON to indicate malfunction. When ignition switch is
turned to ªOFFº or the malfunction is corrected, it turns OFF.ON
When vehicle is driven with different
diameters of front and rear tiresFlickers once every 2 seconds.
Turns OFF when ignition switch is ªOFFº.Flickers once every 2 sec-
onds.
High fluid temperature in transfer
unitWhen fluid temperature is high or fluid temperature sensor
circuit is shorted, it flickers twice every second.
It turns OFF when fluid temperature becomes normal.Flickers twice a second.
Other than above (System is nor-
mal.)Lamp is OFF. OFF
*: When 4WD warning lamp is ON, all the 4WD shift indicator lamps turn OFF.

Description of Electrical PartsNBTF0067TRANSFER MOTORNBTF0067S011. The transfer motor drives the sub-oil pump to provide proper lubrication and oil pressure control when the
vehicle is at standstill, during low-speed operations or is being driven in reverse.
2. The main oil pump is operated by the driving force of the mainshaft. In other words, sufficient oil pressure
buildup does not occur when the vehicle is at standstill or during low-speed operations. While the vehicle
is being driven in reverse, the main oil pump rotates in the reverse direction. Therefore the main oil pump
does not discharge oil pressure. During any of the above vehicle operations, the transfer motor drives the
sub-oil pump to compensate for insufficient oil pressure.
3. The transfer motor operates as follows:
1) The motor relay turns OFF in the 2WD mode.
2) The motor relay operates as described in the table below in modes other than the 2WD mode.

4. 4WD shift switch, PNP switch, Neutral-4LO switch, vehicle speed sensor and throttle position sensor are
used in conjunction with the transfer motor.
WAIT DETECTION SWITCHNBTF0067S021. The wait detection switch releases the ªboomingº torque produced in the propeller shaft. After the release
of the ªboomingº torque, the wait detection switch helps provide the 4WD lock gear (clutch drum) shifts.
A difference may occur between the operation (ª4LOº to ª4Hº shift only) of the 4WD shift switch and actual
drive mode. At this point, the wait detection switch senses an actual drive mode.
2. The wait detection switch operates as follows:
4WD lock gear (clutch drum) locked: ON
4WD lock gear (clutch drum) released: OFF
3. The wait detection switch senses an actual drive mode and the 4WD shift indicator lamp indicates the
vehicle drive mode.

ALL-MODE 4WD SYSTEM
Description of Electrical Parts
TF-15

2-4WD SHIFT SOLENOID VALVENBTF0067S03The 2-4WD shift solenoid valve operates to apply oil pressure to the wet, multiplate clutch, depending on the
drive mode. The driving force is transmitted to the front wheels through the clutch so the vehicle is set in the
4WD mode. Setting the vehicle in the 2WD mode requires no pressure buildup. In other words, pressure force
applied to the wet, multiplate clutch becomes zero.
LINE PRESSURE SWITCHNBTF0067S041. With the transfer system design, control of the oil pressure provides the transmission of drive torque to
the front wheels. The main pressure to control the oil pressure is referred to as the line pressure.
The line pressure switch determines whether or not adequate line pressure has built up under different
operating conditions.
2. The line pressure switch turns ON when line pressure is produced.
3. The line pressure switch senses line pressure abnormalities and turns the 4WD warning lamp ON.
