WHEEL HUB BOLT REPLACEMENTA6E6314050002011. Remove the brake caliper component and the disc plate.
2. Remove the wheel hub bolt using the SST as
shown in the figure.
Note
•If the dust cover interferes with the wheel
hub bolt and the wheel hub bolt cannot be
removed, tap the part shown in the figure
with a chisel lightly and bend the process
back to the knuckle side.
3. Install a new wheel hub bolt into the wheel hub
and install a washer and hub nut on the hub bolt.
4. Tighten the hub nut while holding the wheel hub
using a brass bar.

Caution
•Performing the following procedures without first removing the ABS wheel-speed sensor may
possibly cause an open circuit in the harness if it is pulled by mistake. Before performing the
following procedures, remove the ABS wheel-speed sensor (wheel side) and fix it to an
appropriate place where the sensor will not be pulled by mistake while the vehicle is being
serviced.
1. Remove in the order indicated in the table.
2. Install in the reverse order of removal.

A6E63802001
No. Symptom Description
1 Frequent front wheel slip Front wheels slip frequently during acceleration on low-friction road.
2
Tight corner braking effectBrakes seem to be applied during tight cornering while driving very
slowly on paved road.
3 Abnormal noise and/or vibration from
coupling unitThere is abnormal noise and/or vibration from coupling unit during
driving.
1 Frequent front wheel slip
[TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS]
•Tire traction performance is extremely poor for given road friction. (4WD system is normal.)
•Improper wheel alignment (4WD system is normal.)
•Rear differential oil temperature is extremely high (Fail-safe condition)
•Differential oil temperature sensor malfunction (Fail-safe condition)
•Compare slip frequency with another vehicle of the same model (under the same road conditions and tire traction
performance).
•Replace tires with others of the same model and perform test under the same road conditions to determine if the
malfunction was caused by tire traction performance.
•Coupling component malfunction
•4WD solenoid malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

NO.2 TIGHT CORNER BRAKINGA6E638027100205
Diagnostic procedure
STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1VERIFY DSC, PCM, TCM, AND 4WD SYSTEM
DTCs
•Verify DSC, PCM, TCM, and 4WD system
DTCs using WDS or equivalent.
•Are there any DTCs present?Yes Go to applicable DTC inspection.
No Go to next step.
2VERIFY TIRE AIR PRESSURE
•Inspect tire air pressure.
•Is it within specification?Yes Go to next step.
No Adjust tire air pressure, then go to next step.
3COMPARE WITH SAME MODEL TIRES
•Install tires of the same model.
•Perform simulation driving.
•Does malfunction recur?Yes Go to next step.
No 4WD system is okay.
4COMPARE WITH SAME MODEL VEHICLE
•Install tires of malfunctioning vehicle to
another same model vehicle.
•Perform simulation driving.
•Does malfunction recur?Yes 4WD system is okay.
No Go to next step.
5INSPECT 4WD SOLENOID
•Inspect 4WD solenoid.
(See M–66 4WD SOLENOID INSPECTION)
•Is coupling component solenoid okay?Yes Inspect harness between 4WD solenoid and 4WD CM, then
go to next step.
No Replace coupling component.
6INSPECT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
•Inspect wheel alignment.
•Is it okay?Yes Replace coupling component.
No Inspect wheel alignment, and adjust it if necessary.
2 Tight corner braking
[TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS]
•Because the coupling component locks up easily (similar to direct 4WD), rotational difference between the front
and rear wheels cannot be absorbed and brake-like phenomenon occurs.
•Due to the coupling component construction, slight tight corner braking effect occurs during tight cornering on a
paved road. (4WD system is okay. Compare with another same model vehicle to determine malfunction.)
•Coupling component malfunction
•4WD solenoid malfunction
STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1VERIFY DSC, PCM, TCM, AND 4WD SYSTEM
DTCS
•Verify DSC, PCM, TCM, and 4WD system
DTCs using WDS or equivalent.
•Are there any DTCs present?Yes Go to applicable DTC inspection.
No Go to next step.
2VERIFY TIRE AIR PRESSURE
•Inspect tire air pressure.
•Is it within specification?Yes Go to next step.
No Adjust tire air pressure, then go to next step.
3INSPECT ABS WHEEL-SPEED SENSOR
•Inspect ABS wheel-speed sensor.
•Is it okay?Yes Go to next step.
No Repair or replace malfunctioning part.
4COMPARE WITH SAME MODEL VEHICLE
•Perform simulation driving with another
same model vehicle.
•Does malfunction recur on the same model
vehicle?Yes 4WD system is okay.
No Go to next step.
5PERFORM SIMULATION DRIVING WITH 4WD
SOLENOID CONNECTOR DISCONNECTED
•Turn ignition key OFF.
•Disconnect 4WD solenoid connector.
•Perform simulation driving. (Clear DTC after
simulation driving.)
•Does malfunction recur?Yes Replace coupling component.
No Go to next step.
