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.

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.

Warning
•The engine stand is equipped with a self-lock mechanism, however, if the coupling unit is in a
tilted condition, the self-lock mechanism could become inoperative. If the coupling unit
unexpectedly rotates it could cause injury, therefore do not maintain the coupling unit in a tilted
condition. When turning the coupling unit, grasp the rotation handle firmly.
