2004 ISUZU TF SERIES 4WD

TRANSFER CONTROL SYSTEM 7D1-45
Transfer cannot shift to a position other than 4H.
When shifting from 4H to other position, indicator (4WD, 4Lo, Check4WD, neutral) does
not respond (Only 4WD keeps lighting).
Step Action Yes No
1 Is the ignition switch ON? Go to step 2. Failed 4WD indicator and
harness.
After repairing, trace this chart
from the beginning.
2 Does the transfer-related
indicators (4WD, 4Lo, Check
4WD, neutral) light up for 2
seconds when the ignition
switch is turned ON?
Then, only 4H lights up. Go to step 3. Indicator lamps other than the
4WD indicator are burnt out.
(Check for GND short circuit
between the 4WD indicator and
transfer controller.)
Disconnected harness wire.
After repairing, trace this chart
from the beginning.
3 Press the 2H button.
Is the sound of relay heard from
under the seat, and the sound of
running motor heard? Failed controller.
After replacing the controller,
trace this chart from the
beginning. *Failed operation switch. Or
disconnected or shorted of the
harness for the operation switch.
* The operation switch is an analog type switch which reads the internal composite resistance value at the time of
operation. If an abnormal value is detected, it is judged to be an instruction to 4H.

7D1-46 TRANSFER CONTROL SYSTEM
Even after the correction step 2-1(*), the 4WD indicator still blinks at 2Hz when shifting
from 4H to 2H.
Step Action Yes No
1 Check all the tires for air
pressure and wear. Is any
trouble noticed? After adjusting the air pressure
and repairing the tire worn away,
try the correction step 2-1(*). Go to step 2.
2 Check the 4WD detection switch
on the transfer case and neutral
detection switch and each
harness. Is a trouble noticed? 4WD detection switch is closed
or the GND short of harness.
The neutral detection switch is
closed or the harness GND is
shorted.
Replace or repair and then trace
this chart from the beginning. Go to step 3.
3 Is there continuity in the harness
between the transfer controller
and axle actuator?
Isn’t short or disconnection
noticed?
Isn’t the connection mistaken? Go to step 4. Body short, disconnection or
incorrect connection of the
harness between the transfer
controller and actuator.
After repairing, trace this chart
from the beginning.
4 Is a trouble noticed in the axle
detection harness between the
axle actuator and transfer
controller? GND short of harness Malfunction of axle actuator.
Refer to the paragraph of axle
disconnect.
After repairing, trace this chart
from the beginning.
*Before determining a trouble (Non-trouble mode)

Note:
The vehicle of manual hub and rigid hub don’t have axle actuator.
When the above-mentioned procedure is followed, check the harness between the axle dummy output terminal and
the axle switch input terminal of transfer controller instead of axle actuator.
