4WD CONTROL SYSTEM
When the 4WD switch is turned ON by shifting the transfer shift lever, ECM (PCM) (G16 and J20 engine models)
or 4WD controller (H25 engine model) actuates (energizes) the air pump assembly. Then positive pressure is sent
from the air pump assembly to the actuator installed to the differential case and causes the axle lock clutch and
the free axle hub in the differential case to be engaged, resulting in the 4WD mode. Only when running in the 4WD
mode, front axles are joined to differential case, and they become free when 2WD mode is used (or when transfer
shift lever is shifted to N position), thereby reducing the power loss.

HANDLING AND STORAGE
SDM
WARNING:
Never power up air bag system when SDM is not rigidly at-
tached to the vehicle. Otherwise, personal injury may result.
CAUTION:
After detecting one time of such collision as to meet deploy-
ment conditions, the SDM must not be used.
Refer to ªDiagnosisº when checking the SDM.
Never attempt disassembly of SDM.
When storing SDM, select a place where neither high tempera-
ture nor high humidity is anticipated and oil, water and dust are
kept off.
If SDM was dropped from a height of 90 cm (3 ft) or more or if it
is found to be damaged or deformed, replace it with a new one.
If installation part of SDM was damaged, repair that part com-
pletely before reinstallation.
All SDM and mounting bracket fasteners must be carefully
torqued and the arrow must be pointed toward the front of the ve-
hicle to ensure proper operation of the air bag system.
