3E-6 WHEELS AND TIRES
SERVICING
Servicing refers to general maintenance procedures to be performed by qualified service personnel.

TIRE ROTATION
For of radial tires, interchange the front and the rear wheels on
the same side as shown in the figure.
If one-sided tire wear appears on radial tires, rotate the wheels
as shown in the figure.
Note:
After rotation, adjust the front and rear tire pressure and be sure to check wheel nut tightness.
TRANSFER CONTROL SYSTEM 7D1-43
Even after the correction step 1-2(*), the 4WD indicator still blinks at 2Hz when shifting
from 2H to 4H.
Step Action Yes No
1 Check the air pressure and wear
of all the tires. Is any trouble
noticed? After adjusting the air pressure
and repairing the tire worn away,
try the correction step 1-2(*). Go to step 2.
2 Check the 4WD detection switch
on the transfer case, neutral
detection switch and each
harness. Is a trouble noticed? 4WD detection switch is open or
the harness failed.
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 front axle actuator? Isn’t a
body short or disconnection
noticed? Go to step 4. Body short or disconnection of
the harness between the transfer
controller and front axle 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? Disconnected harness.
After repairing trace this chart
from the beginning. Malfunction of axle actuator.
Refer to the paragraph of the
axle disconnect.

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.

7A2-10 TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (AW30 –40LE) (V6 3.5L)
Control and Functions
Shift Control
The transmission gear is shifted according to the shift
pattern selected by the driver. In shifting gears, the
gear ratio is controlled by the ON/ OFF signal using the
shift solenoid S1 and the shift solenoid S2.
Band Apply Control
The band apply is controlled when in the 3 –2 downshift
(engine overrun prevention) and the garage shift (shock
control).
The band apply solenoid is controlled by the signal from
the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to regulate the flow
of the oil.
Torque Converter Clutch Control
The clutch ON/OFF is controlled by moving the
converter clutch valve through shifting Torque
Converter Clutch (TCC) solenoid using the ON/OFF
signal.
Line Pressure Control
The throttle signal allows the current signal to be sent
to the force motor. After receiving the current signal,
the force motor activates the pressure regulator valve
to regulate the line pressure.
On –Board Diagnostic System
Several malfunction displays can be stored in the
Transmission Control Module (TCM) memory, and read
out of it afterward.
The serial data lines, which are required for the testing
of the final assembly and the coupling to othe
r
electronic modules, can be regulated by this function.
Fail –Safe Mechanism
If there is a problem in the transmission system, the
TCM will go into a “backup" mode.
The vehicle can still be driven, but the driver must use
the select lever to shift gears.
Torque Management Control
The transmission control side sends the absolute spark
advance signal to the engine control side while the
transmission is being shifted. This controls the engine
spark timing in compliance with the vehicle running
condition to reduce the shocks caused by the change o
f
speed.
ATF Warning Control
The oil temperature sensor detects the ATF oil
temperature to control the oil temperature warning,
TCC, and the 3rd start mode.
Reverse Lock Out Control
With the selector lever in reverse position, the TCM will
not close the PWM solenoid until the vehicle is below
15 km/h (9.3 mph), thus preventing reverse
engagement above this speed.
Downhill Control
This mode is automatically activated from NORMAL
mode only when downhill conditions are recognized.
The shift pattern is identical to NORMAL mode except
3-4 and 4-3 shift lines at low throttle modified to get
engine braking on a larger speed range.
Uphill Control
When uphill condition are recognized the 2-3 and 3-4
shift and TCC apply are down only when the engine
torque is sufficient in order to avoid shift hunting.

DIAGNOSIS (JR405E) 7A2-103
No. B4: Large Shock When Shift Lever is Changed to N to D
Range or N to R Range
Description:
Large shock is felt when selecting D or R range from N range during the idling after warming up.
Diagnosis Hints:
Check the entire condition of the vehicle for unusual other than AT including faulty engine mount, exhaust
hanger, etc.
When the fail-safe operation, select shock may grow worse. In such a case, check for the DTC. If no DTC is
issued, shock due to faulty operation of the control valve or burnt clutch is considered.
Possible Cause:
High engine idling.
Dislocated select lever, improper inhibitor switch adjusting point.
Faulty or insufficient tightening of engine mount, exhaust mount.
Play of suspension.
Burnt clutch.
Too low or high line pressure.
Faulty input signal system.
Faulty control valve. (faulty operation or sticking of accumulator)
DIAGNOSIS (JR405E) 7A2-107
No. B10: Brake is Applied in R Range
Description:
Brake is applied suddenly in R range.
Diagnosis Hints:
Basically a trouble in the AT main unit. However, some trouble in the sensor system or output system may have
some influence on the trouble in the main unit and therefore these systems should be also checked to prevent
reproduce of the trouble.
Possible Cause:
Seized clutch (low clutch, high clutch, 2-4 brake).
Shortage or faulty quality of ATF.
Trouble in control valve body (faulty operation, sticking, clogged oil passage).
Disordered select cable (select indicator light indicates R but the hydraulic system is not in the R range).
Malfunction of parking mechanism.
No. B11: Insufficient Starting or Shaking in D Range
Description:
Insufficient starting or shaking in D range.
Possible Cause:
Slip of clutch (low clutch, low one-way clutch, reverse clutch, low & reverse brake).
If slip of clutch is caused, a DTC (gear ratio error) is stored.
Shortage or faulty quality of ATF.
Dropped line pressure.
Trouble in control valve body (faulty operation, sticking, clogged oil passage).
No. B12: Noise or Vibration is Generated at Starting
Description:
Noise or vibration is generated in the vicinity of AT at starting.
Diagnosis Hints:
Cause other than AT can be also considered. It is effective means to reproduce a running condition using a lift
up, chassis dynamo, etc. to investigate the origin (generating condition) of noise and vibration.
Caution:
Lifting up some unit to test it accompanies danger. Provide safety measures as far as possible and
carry out the test with sufficient care.
Possible Cause:
Following sources of noise or vibration other than the AT can be considered.
Noise from differential gears.
Noise from propeller shaft.
The bearing support in the middle of the propeller shaft has fatigued, and the bend angle of the propeller shaft
has changed, causing vibration at the time of start.
Unbalanced and poor uniformity of tires cause vibration.
