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.

TRANSFER CONTROL SYSTEM 7D1-47
Though the indicator responds when shifting from 4H to 2H(or other position), it returns
to 4H.
Step Action Yes No
1 Is the ignition switch ON? Go to step 2. Turn the ignition switch ON and
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? Go to step 3. Indicator lamp burnt out.
Disconnected harness wire.
After repairing, trace this chart
from the beginning.
3 After 2 seconds, check if the
Check4WD lamp lights up.
Is the Check4WD lamp OFF? Go to step 4. Failed actuator position detection
(limit) switch (LS1, LS2, LS3,
LS4, GND).
Short or disconnection of harness
of this detection switch.
Refer to paragraph of
Check4WD.
After repairing, trace this chart
from the beginning.
4 Press the 2H button.
Is the sound of relay heard from
the transfer controller? Go to step 5. Failed controller.
Replace the controller and trace
this chart from the beginning.
5 Is the sound of running motor
heart? Failed control system of the
transfer mechanism. Check and
repair and trace this chart from
the beginning. Failed actuator motor.
Disconnection of controller motor
drive output circuit or GND short.
After repairing, trace this chart
from the beginning.
If the motor does not or cannot run at all (stuck transfer mechanism, disconnected motor, failed drive circuit), the
lamp blinks at 4Hz when the position is shifted to other position by pressing the button for more 10 seconds (20
seconds in case of neutral position).

Comparison of mode
1. The normal drive mode is set at the normal shift
points.
2. The shift points of the power drive mode are shifted
to the higher speed side, compared to the normal
drive mode.
3. The 3rd start mode is a special mode used
exclusively for starting in third gear.
3rd start Mode
1. The 3rd start switch will operate when switched on
after all of the following conditions are present:
a. The gear select position is “D" range only.
b. Vehicle speed is 11 km/h (7 mph) or less.
c. Transmission oil temperature is 120
C (248
F)
or less.
d. Accelerator opening is at 8% or less.
2. Cancel Release
1. Cancellation by driver
a. Turning off the 3rd start mode switch
b. Shifting select position to “3", “2", or “L" (3rd
start mode is not canceled by selecting “N",
“ R", or “P")
c. Ignition key is turned off.
2. Automatic cancellation
a. When vehicle runs at 34 km/h (21mph) o
r
more for 1 second or more
b. When transmission oil temperature reaches 120
C (284
F) or above
NOTE: The mode returns to normal drive mode o
r
power drive mode after the 3rd start mode is canceled.
Backup Mode
If a major system failure occurs which could affect
safety or damage the transmission under normal
vehicle operation, the diagnostic system detects the
fault and overrides the Transmission Control Module
(TCM).
The “CHECK TRANS" light flashes to alert the driver,
and the transmission must be manually shifted as
follows:
Select lever position Gear Ratio Selected
D 4 (Fourth)
Manual 3 4 (Fourth)
Manual 2 3 (Third)
Manual L 3 (Third)
R Reverse
Shifts are firmer to prevent clutch slip and consequent
wear. The fault should be corrected as soon as
possible.

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.
