3.INSPECTION USING 4WD MODE CHANGE-OVER SWITCH
●On data monitor screen of the CONSULT-II, check 4WD mode switch.
●Check if the display changes from ## to 2WD mode when the 2WD switch is pressed.
●Check if the display changes from ## to AUTO mode when the AUTO switch is pressed.
●Check if the display changes from ## to LOCK mode when the LOCK switch is pressed.
OK or NG
OK >> No malfunction detected.
NG >>
●Not in AUTO mode. (In 2WD or LOCK mode)
Countermeasure: Slightly depress the accelerator pedal and check that the operation mode
changes to LOCK mode.
●Check circuit between 4WD mode switch harness connector M39 terminal No.1 (BR) and
4WD control unit harness connector E122 terminal No. 27 (BR).
(AUTO mode is not available because a malfunction is present in the 2WD mode harness.)
NOTICE:
Mechanism of 4WD mode change-over.
●2WD mode: Operation changes to 2WD mode when 4WD control unit harness connector E122
terminal No. 27 (BR) is shorted to ground.
●AUTO mode: Operation changes to AUTO mode when 4WD control unit harness connector
E122 terminals No. 27 (BR) and No. 26 (L) is shorted to ground.
●LOCK mode: Operation changes to LOCK mode when 4WD control unit harness connector
E122 terminal No. 26 (L) is shorted to ground.
4WD MODES CANNOT BE SWITCHED AFTER ENGINE IS STARTED
1.INSPECTION USING 4WD MODE CHANGE-OVER SWITCH
●Drive modes cannot be switched after the engine is started.
●On data monitor screen of the CONSULT-II, check 4WD mode switch.
●Check if the display changes from ## to 2WD mode when the 2WD switch is pressed.
●Check if the display changes from ## to AUTO mode when the AUTO switch is pressed.
●Check if the display changes from ## to LOCK mode when the LOCK switch is pressed.
OK or NG
OK >> No malfunction detected.
NG >>
●CONSULT-II display does not change from ## when the 2WD switch is pressed. Check harness
of the 2WD switch.
●CONSULT-II display does not change from ## when the AUTO switch is pressed. Check har-
ness of the 2WD switch and LOCK switch.
●CONSULT-II display does not change from ## when the LOCK switch is pressed. Check har-
ness of the LOCK switch.
●Perform 4WD mode change-over switch inspection.
WHILE DRIVING, 4WD WARNING LAMP FLASHES RAPIDLY. (WHEN IT FLASHERS FOR
APPROX. ONE MINUTE, THEN DOES NOT ILLUMINATE.)
●While driving, 4WD warning lamp flashes rapidly. (when it flashes for approx. one minute, then does not
illuminate.)
Rapid flashing: 2 times/second
This phenomenon protects drivetrain parts when a heavy load is applied to the electronically controlled
coupling and multiple disc clutch temperature increases. It is not a malfunction.
When the difference of diameters by or with the front and rear wheel with AUTO mode the shift switch
occasionally changes to LOCK mode automatically. This is not a malfunction.
When the difference of revolution speed between the front and rear wheel with AUTO mode, the shift
switch occasionally changes to LOCK mode automatically. This is not a malfunction.
WHILE DRIVING, 4WD WARNING LAMP FLASHES SLOWLY. (WHEN IT CONTINUES TO ILLU-
MINATE UNTIL ENGINE TURNS OFF.)
1. Check using the data monitor function of the CONSULT-II.

●Stop the engine. Restart the engine and drive the vehicle at 20 km/h (12 MPH) or faster for approxi-
mately 200 seconds. Confirm the 4WD warning lamp flashes slowly.
(Check if the value of IMPROPER SIZE TIRE MONITOR is 8 mm (0.31 in) or more.)
When the tire size is normal, the value of IMPROPER SIZE TIRE MONITOR will change from 8 mm
(0.31 in) or more to 0 to 4 mm (0 to 0.16 in) (normal condition) after the vehicle is driven 20 km/h (12
MPH) or faster for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Tire inspection
●Inspection of tire pressure
●Wear condition
●Check size of the front and rear tires. (No excessive difference should be observed.) Refer to GI-44,
"Wheels & Tires"
VEHICLE DOES NOT ENTER 4WD MODE EVEN THOUGH 4WD WARNING LAMP IS OFF.
1. Check using the data monitor function of the CONSULT-II.
Perform inspection by the data monitor function of the CONSULT-II.

CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
●When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
Malfunction to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low pressure chamber.
●When connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench.
●After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
●When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes as the final stage of the opera-
tion. Do not remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for
connection.
●Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
●Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
●Always replace used O-rings.
●When connecting tube, apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration. Be careful not
to apply lubricant to threaded portion.
●O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
●When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
●Connect tube until you hear it click, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that
the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.
●After connecting line, conduct leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the gas leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten con-
nections of seal seat to the specified torque.
Precautions for Servicing CompressorEJS000T5
●Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
●When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
●When replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compres-
sor” exactly. Refer to ATC-24, "
Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor" .
●Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated, with lubri-
cant, wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth moistened with thinner. With gasoline engine
(CWV-615M compressor)With diesel engine
(DKV-11G compressor)
