Side Bearing Inner Race Assembly Note
Caution
•Do not mix up the left and right side bearing inner races.
1. Press the side bearing inner races into the gear
case using the SSTs.
Thrust washer assembly note
1. Assemble the side gears, thrust washers and pinion gears to the gear case, then assemble the knock pin.
2. After assembling the knock pin, make a crimp so that the pin will not come out of the gear case.
3. Set a dial gauge to the pinion gear as indicated in
the figure.
4. Secure one of the side gears.
5. Move the pinion gear and measure the backlash
at the end of the pinion gear.
•If the backlash exceeds the standard, use the
thrust washers to adjust.

DIFFERENTIAL OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR INSPECTIONA6E632227100209
Warning
•Hot differential oil may cause severe burns. Do not perform maintenance while differential oil is
hot.
1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
2. Disconnect the differential oil temperature sensor connector and remove the differential oil temperature sensor.
3. Wrap the differential oil temperature sensor with
plastic wrap and immerse it into a beaker filled
with water. Gradually raise the water
temperature, and measure resistance between
differential oil temperature sensor terminals A and
B.
•If not as specified, inspect the harness for
continuity. If there is normal continuity
between the terminals, replace the differential
oil temperature sensor.
Specification
4. Install the differential oil temperature sensor and connect the connector.
5. Connect the negative (-) battery cable.

3. Measure resistance between 4WD solenoid
connector terminals A and B.
•If the resistance is not within the specification,
replace the coupling unit.

4WD CONTROL MODURE INSPECTIONA6E632227100212
Note
•4WD CM terminal voltage can vary depending on measuring conditions and vehicle aging, resulting in
misdiagnosis. Therefore, it is necessary to perform an overall inspection of the input/output systems and
4WD CM to determine which part is malfunctioning.
•With the 4WD CM connector connected, measure voltage by connecting the voltmeter negative (-) lead to
the body ground and positive (+) lead to each 4WD CM terminal.
1. Measure voltage or resistance at each 4WD CM terminal using a voltmeter and an ohmmeter.
•If not as specified, replace the 4WD CM.
