ALL-MODE 4WD SYSTEM
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
LINE PRESSURE SWITCH

With the transfer system design, control of the oil pressure provides the transmission of drive torque to the
front wheels. The main pressure to control the oil pressure is referred to as the line pressure.

The line pressure switch determines whether or not adequate line pressure has built up under different
operating conditions.

The line pressure switch turns ON when line pressure is produced.

The line pressure switch senses line pressure abnormalities and turns the 4WD warning lamp ON.
CLUTCH PRESSURE SWITCH

The clutch pressure switch determines whether or not adequate clutch pressure has built up under differ-
ent operating conditions.

The clutch pressure switch turns ON when clutch pressure is produced.

The clutch pressure switch senses clutch pressure abnormalities and turns the 4WD warning lamp ON.
TRANSFER FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The transfer temperature sensor detects the transfer fluid temperature and sends a signal to the transfer con-
trol unit.
TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT

Transfer control unit controls transfer control device by input signals of each sensor and each switch.

Self-diagnosis can be done.
TRANSFER CONTROL DEVICE
The transfer control device changes the state of transfer assembly between 2WD, AUTO, 4H⇔4LO with the
2WD, AUTO, 4H and 4LO signals of 4WD shift switch.
NOTE:

To shift between 4H⇔4LO, stop the vehicle, depress the brake pedal and shift the transmission selector
to the "N" position. Depress and turn the 4WD shift switch. The shift switch will not shift to the desired
mode if the transmission is not in "N" or the vehicle is moving. The 4LO indicator lamp will be lit when the
4LO is engaged.

Actuator motor and actuator position switch are integrated.
4WD SHIFT SWITCH AND INDICATOR LAMP
4WD Shift Switch
The 4WD shift switch allows selection from 2WD, AUTO, 4H or 4LO.
4WD Shift Indicator Lamp

Displays driving conditions selected by 4WD shift switch with 2WD, AUTO and 4H indicators while engine
is running. (When 4WD warning lamp is turned on, all 4WD shift indicator lamps are turned off.)

Turns ON for approximately 1 second when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check.
4LO Indicator Lamp

Displays 4LO condition while engine is running. 4LO indicator lamp flashes if transfer gear does not shift
completely under 2WD, AUTO, 4H⇔4LO. (When 4WD warning lamp is turned on, 4LO indicator lamp is
turned off.)

Turns ON for approximately 1 second when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check.

4WD WARNING LAMP
Turns ON or FLASH when there is a malfunction in 4WD system.
Also turns ON when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check. Turns OFF for approximately 1
second after the engine starts if system is normal.
4WD Warning Lamp Indication
*: When 4WD warning lamp is ON, all the 4WD shift indicator lamps turn OFF.
AT P WA R N I N G L A M P
Even if A/T selector lever is in “P” position, vehicle may move because A/T parking mechanism does not oper-
ate when transfer is under neutral condition. ATP warning lamp is turned on so as to indicate this condition to
the driver.
System DiagramEDS002HB
Condition Content 4WD warning lamp
During self-diagnosis Indicates the malfunction position by number of flickers. Flickers at malfunction mode.
Lamp check*Checks the lamp by turning ON during engine starting. After
engine starts, it turns OFF if there are no malfunctions.ON
Malfunction in 4WD system*Turns ON to indicate malfunction. When ignition switch is
turned to “OFF” or the malfunction is corrected, it turns OFF.ON
When vehicle is driven with different
diameters of front and rear tiresFlickers once every 2 seconds.
Turns OFF when ignition switch is “OFF”.Flickers once every 2 sec-
onds.
High fluid temperature in transfer unitWhen fluid temperature is high or fluid temperature sensor cir-
cuit is shorted, it flickers twice every second.
It turns OFF when fluid temperature becomes normal.Flickers twice a second.
Other than above (System is nor-
mal.)Lamp is OFF. OFF

There is 2 blinks every 1 second if high transfer fluid temperature is detected.
ATP warning lampIndicates that A/T parking mechanism does not operate when A/T selector lever is in “P” position
and transfer is under neutral condition.
4WD shift indicator lamp Displays driving condition selected by 4WD shift switch.

Inspections Before Trouble DiagnosisEDS002HH
TRANSFER FLUID CHECK
Check fluid for leaks and fluid level. Refer to TF-11, "Inspection" .
PREPARATION FOR ROAD TEST

The purpose of the test is to determine overall performance of
transfer and analyze causes of problems.

When a malfunction is found in any part of transfer, perform the
road test to locate the malfunction area and repair the malfunc-
tion parts.

The road test consists of the following three parts.
–Check before engine is started. Refer to TF-32, "CHECK
BEFORE ENGINE IS STARTED" .
–Check at idle. Refer to TF-32, "CHECK AT IDLE" .
–Cruise test. Refer to TF-34, "CRUISE TEST" .
