customer about how the malfunction occurs. Then, proceed with the diagnosis presuming it is the cause. Also
inspect the electrical system, paying close attention to other possibilities such as fluid level and leaks.
All-mode 4WD transfer is controlled by transfer control unit and sensors.
If a malfunction occurs in the all-mode 4WD system, the 4WD warning lamp lights up to inform of the system
malfunction. There are two ways to identify the cause of the malfunction.

by flickering.)
