7D-2 TRANSFER
DIAGNOSIS
DIAGNOSIS TABLE
Before attempting to repair the transfer or related components for any reason other than mechanical failure, the
condition and probable causes should be identified.
Transfer failures are revealed by shifting difficulties such as excessive shifting effort, gear clash, or gear grinding.
When any of these conditions occur, the following inspections should be made before disassembling the transfer.
1) Check transfer oil level for insufficient or incorrect oil. Refer to ªTransfer and Differential Oil Inspection and
Changeº in SECTION 0B ªMAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATIONº.
2) Check transfer mountings for wear or looseness.
3) Check gearshift control lever for distortion or excessive wear.
After performing the above inspections, refer to following diagnosis table.

DIFFERENTIAL (FRONT) 7E-1
The differential assembly using a hypoid bevel pinion
and gear is installed to the front axle.
4WD control system controls drive force to be trans-
mitted to front axles or not. The reduction ratio varies
depending on transmission or engine type.The differential assembly is decisive in that the drive
power is concentrated there. Therefore, use of genu-
ine parts and specified torque is compulsory. Further,
because of sliding tooth meshing with high pressure
between bevel pinion and gear, it is mandatory to lu-
bricate them by hypoid gear oil.

IGNITION KEY
The ignition key for the immobilizer control system has a built-in
transponder. Each transponder in the key has an each transmitting
code (Transponder code). The code will transmitted from the key
via the coil antenna to Immobilizer Control Module when the ignition
switch is turned ON.
COIL ANTENNA
The coil antenna is installed to the steering lock assembly. As it is
energized by Immobilizer Control Module, it transmits the trans-
ponder code of the ignition key to Immobilizer Control Module.
