DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
1. CHECK TRANSFER FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL
With CONSULT-II
1. Start engine.
2. Select “DATA MONITOR” mode for “ALL MODE AWD/4WD” with CONSULT-II.
3. Read out the value of “FLUID TEMP SE”.
Without CONSULT-II
1. Start engine.
2. Check voltage between transfer control unit harness connector
terminals and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT AND TRANSFER TERMINAL CORD
ASSEMBLY
1. Turn ignition switch “OFF”. (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)
2. Disconnect transfer control unit harness connector and transfer terminal cord assembly harness connec-
tor.
3. Check continuity between the following terminals.
–Transfer control unit harness connector E143 terminal 28 (B/G)
and transfer terminal cord assembly harness connector F56 ter-
minal 3 (B/G).
–Transfer control unit harness connector E143 terminal 31 (G)
and transfer terminal cord assembly harness connector F56 ter-
minal 2 (G).
Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Repair or replace damaged parts.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
1. CHECK CLUTCH PRESSURE SWITCH SIGNAL
With CONSULT-II
1. Start engine.
2. Select “DATA MONITOR” mode for “ALL MODE AWD/4WD” with CONSULT-II.
3. Read out ON/OFF switching action of the “CL PRES SW” while
operating 4WD shift switch.
Without CONSULT-II
1. Start engine.
2. Check voltage between transfer control unit harness connector
terminals and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 5.
NG >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT AND CLUTCH PRESSURE SWITCH
1. Turn ignition switch “OFF”. (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)
2. Disconnect transfer control unit harness connector and the transfer terminal cord assembly harness con-
nector.
3. Check continuity between transfer control unit harness connec-
tor E143 terminal 34 (BR) and transfer terminal cord assembly
harness connector F56 terminal 7 (BR)
Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
