TRANSFER CONTROL SYSTEM 7D1-35
3.
Shifting from 4H to 4L
3-1 When the 4L indicator flashes at 2Hz
When shifting from 4H to 4L, the 4L indicator continues flashing at 2Hz until shifting in the transfer case is
completed. The phases of the engaged splines may sometimes deviated preventing completion of shifting.
By correcting the deviation of phases, shifting is completed.

Step 3-1:
(In case of AT): Set the select bar of the transmission to the D position.
(In case of MT): Set the lever of the transmission to a position allowing running and engage the clutch
gently.
At this time, some rotating force acts on the engaged splines, phase is corrected and the engagement is
completed.

3-2 When the 4L indicator flashes at 2Hz for 10 seconds and then keeps ON again (AT vehicle)
This condition occurs when torsional torque has been generated between the transmission and road surface
and the transfer standby mechanism cannot absorb it completely.

Step 3-2:
Set the select lever of the transmission to the N position. (Stepping on the brake pedal is effective at
this time.)

3-3 When the 4L indicator flashes at a frequency of 4Hz
Shifting from 4H to 4L is restricted.
When the vehicle is running, the transmission lever is at the running range and the engine speed is high (L4:
3000rpm or more V6: 2000rpm), the transfer cannot be shifted from 4H to 4L (restriction on operation).

Restriction on operation (Except 4JA1-LT)
The 4H, neutral and 4L shifting mechanism has no synchronization function. Therefore, if relative rotations in the
mechanism become excessive, shifting exerts adverse influence on the internal mechanism of the transfer. To
avoid such a trouble, vehicle condition is detected to restrict the operation (vehicle speed, engine speed and TM
position).
Requirement to restrict the speed: Vehicle should be in stop.
For the reason of the detection logic, time to wait for start of operation may be required.
A/T: If the vehicle is in stop for a long time at the TM running range (D, 1, 2) before operating the AT, waiting
time becomes longer (from 1 second to 3 minutes at the maximum).
M/T: If the vehicle is at stop with the clutch stepped on at the T/M running position (1 – R), the time to wait
becomes longer.
Waiting time means the time commencing from when other requirements (engine speed and T/M position) are
met to permission of the speed restriction. Operation during the waiting time is not permissible.
The waiting time is 1 second at the minimum and increases up to 5 seconds if the above condition continues 3
minutes. After that, the waiting time increases up to 3 minutes in 2 minutes.
When it is clear that the above condition has continued and reduction of waiting time is desirable, turn on or off
the ignition or start and stop the vehicle several meters.
Requirements for permission of restriction on engine speed: Engine speed should be decreased.
The engine speed of 3000rpm (V6: 2000rpm) or below is advisable.
Requirements for permission of restriction on T/M position restriction:
(AT) N range is recommendable
(MT) should be at the neutral.

These requirements for permission should be all met before the switch is operated. If the requirements are met
after operation, operation is not automatically effected but re-operation is required after permission is given.
