ELECTRONIC 4WD CONTROL SYSTEM
DIFFERENTIAL OIL TEMPERATURE SENSORA6E632227100203Function
•The differential oil temperature sensor detects the rear differential oil temperature based on the resistance of
the thermistor, and inputs it to the 4WD control modure (4WD CM).
Construction/Operation
•The differential oil temperature sensor is installed in the rear differential carrier.
•The differential oil temperature sensor uses a thermistor whose resistance changes according to changes in
the rear differential oil temperature.
•The resistance grows smaller as the oil temperature rises and vice-versa, as shown.

4WD WARNING LIGHTA6E632227100204Construction
•The 4WD warning light is built into the instrument cluster.
•If the self-diagnostic function stores a DTC, the warning light illuminates to alert the driver of the malfunction. If
system control is temporarily suspended due to the rear differential oil temperature becoming abnormally hot or
similar cause, the warning light flashes to alert the driver.
•The 4WD CM controls the operation of the warning light.

During unloading of passengers and cargo
•When the vehicle height is higher than the
designated load level, oil flows back into the low-
pressure chamber from the high-pressure
chamber via the pump rod leveling port. As a
result, pressure in the high-pressure chamber
decreases, rod reaction force is reduced, and the
vehicle height returns to the designated load
level.

Total Toe-in Adjustment
1. Center the steering wheel and confirm that the vehicle wheels/tires are pointing straight.
2. Loosen the left and right tie-rod end locknuts and turn the tie-rods equally. Both tie rods are right threaded, so
turning the right tie-rod toward the front of the vehicle and the left toward the rear increases toe-in.
Note
•Turning both tie-rods one complete turn changes toe-in by about 6 mm {0.24 in} (0°36').
3. Tighten the tie-rod end locknuts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque
68.6—98.0 N·m {7.00—9.99 kgf·m, 50.6—72.2 ft·lbf}
4. Verify that the boot is not twisted, and install the boot clamp.
