7D1-36 TRANSFER CONTROL SYSTEM
Restriction on operation (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, and TM position).
Requirement to restrict the speed: Vehicle should be in stop.
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:
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.
Note: Don’t’ accelerate engine speed a the time of this operation.
Step 3-3:
Stop the vehicle. (Close the accelerator and decrease the engine speed to below L4: 3000rpm, V6:
2000rpm.)
(In case of AT): Set the transmission select lever to the N position.
(In case of MT): Set the transmission lever to the neutral position. (Stepping on the clutch is
recommendable.) Push the 4L button.
If shifting operation is not completed (the lamp flashes at 2Hz), perform the step 3-1.
4. Shifting from 4L to 4H
4-1 When 4L indicator continues flashing at 2HZ
When shifting from 4L to 4H, the 4L indicator continues flashing at 2Hz until the shifting in the transfer case is
completed. Phases of engaged splines may deviate and the operation may not completed in some cases.
Shifting is completed by correcting the deviation of the splines.
Step 4-1: (same as step 3-1)
(In case of AT): Set the transmission select lever to the D position.
(In case of MT): Shift the transmission lever to a position allowing running and engage the clutch
gently.
4-2 When the indicator continues flashing at 2Hz for 10 seconds and then keeps on at 4L again (AT
vehicle)
This condition occurs when torsional torque has generated between the transmission and the road surface
(use of the parking position on a slope) and resistance against the separation of the driving force cannot be
fully by the waiting mechanism of the transfer.
Shifting is possible by using the brake also at the neutral position of the transmission
Step 4-2: (Same procedure
as the step 3-2)
Set the transmission select lever to the N position.
(Leaving the brake lever and stepping it again is recommendable.)
4-3 When the 4L indicator flashes at 4HZ
Shifting from 4L to 4H is restricted.
When the vehicle is running, transmission lever is at the running range, and the engine speed is high, the
transfer 4L cannot be shifted to 4H.

Time Lag Test
F07RY00003
If the shift lever is shifted while the engine is idling,
there will be a certain time elapse or lag before the
shock can be felt. This is used for checking the
condition of the forward clutch, direct clutch, No.3
brake, and No.2 one-way clutch.
NOTE:
1. Perform the test at normal operation fluid
temperature (50 – 80 C or 122 – 176 F)
2. Be sure to allow one minute interval between tests.
3. Make three measurements and take the average value.

Figure 1. Construction of Automatic Transmission
The JR405E automatic transmission is electrically controlled by a microcomputer transmission control module
(TCM). There are four forward speeds and one reverse speed.
This JR405E automatic transmission employs a clutch pressure direct control system (Direct Electronic Shift
Control: DESC) using a duty cycle type solenoid, which ensures high shift quality.
This transmission also controls learning and constantly checks the time of each clutch and brake required for
the speed change to match this time with the target value for the optimum speed change.
The TCM will automatically select the most appropriate shift points and lock-up points depending on the
throttle opening angle, the vehicle speed and the vehicle load.
If any trouble arises in the vehicle sensor, throttle sensor, solenoid, etc., the fail-safe control function is
activated to keep the running performance.
Problems with the sensors, the solenoids can be quickly detected with the self diagnosis procedure described
in this manual.
The JR405E automatic transmission consists of the torque converter, the oil pump, the input shaft, the out put
shaft, the planetary gears and the control valve.
The gear train consists of two planetary gear sets and three multiple plate clutches in combination with two
multiple plate brakes and a one-way clutch.
