7B1-6 MANUAL TRANSMISSION

Torque : 63 N·m (6.4 kg·m/46 lb·ft)
4. Install center bearing on crossmember.
Torque : 69 N·m (7.0 kg·m/51 lb·ft)
5. Check transmission fluid level.
6. Lower vehicle.

TRANSFER CASE 7D-7

Removal
NOTE: Before removing transmission and transfer
assembly from vehicle, change the transfer mode to
2WD using the 4WD push button switch on dash panel.
1.
Disconnect battery ground cable.
2.
Raise and support vehicle with suitable stands. Drain
transfer case fluid.
3. Remove the center exhaust pipe(5). (6VE1 only)
4.
Remove rear propeller shaft (1) and front propelle
r
shaft (2)(3).
NOTE: Apply alignment marks on the flange at both
front and rear sides.
5.
Disconnect harness connectors and clip.

Connector: transfer switch, 2WD-4WD actuator,
speed sensor.
NOTE: Avoid turning the vehicle ignition switch to the
ON position when the 2WD-4WD connector is removed
(battery connected).
If the ignition switch must be turned to the ON position,
the controller must first be removed (memory must be
cleared because the CHECK 4WD INDICATOR will
light).
6.
Remove transfer case (4) from the vehicle.
Installation
1.
Apply a thin coat of molybdenum disulfide grease to
the input shaft spline as shown in the figure.

Diagnostic Aids

Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connection at
the TCM. Look for possible bent, backed out,
deformed or damaged terminals. Check for weak
terminal tension as well. Also check for a chafed wire
that could short to bare metal or other wiring. Inspect
for a broken wire inside the insulation.

When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short o
r
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.
 Check oil temperature sensor for proper mounting
and adjustment.

DTC stored.
Conditions For Clearing The DTC

The DTC can be cleared from the TCM history by
using a scan tool.
 The DTC will be cleared from history when the
vehicle has achieved 40 warm-up cycles without a
failure reported.

After more than 1 second has elapsed after the
ignition key has been turned “ON", short between
No.11 and No.4 (ground) of DLC (Data Link
Connector). Then, after 1 second, but within 6
seconds, discontinue shorting.
Diagnostic Aids
