Note 1: When a malfunction occurs, it is only displayed and not stored in the memory.
Note 2: When the wait detection switch has been properly fixed, malfunction information is erased from the memory.
Note 3: If 4WD shift switch is left between 4H and 4LO for a while, this indication may be displayed.
(*1): If the malfunction is detected only while driving in reverse, check the continuity of “R” position on A/T PNP switch. When there is
nothing wrong with the electrical system, check the hydraulic system.
(*2): If a revolution sensor malfunction is detected at the same time, check the revolution sensor circuit first.
Note 4: When this malfunction is detected with the ABS warning lamp off, first check for disconnection or shorting in the harness
between the transfer control unit and the ABS control unit.
Note 5: When several systems including CAN communication system indicate malfunctions, perform diagnosis of the CAN communica-
tion first.Shift actuator abnormal
