DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
1. CHECK ACTUATOR MOTOR 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 “SHIFT ACT1”, “SHIFT AC MON1”,
“SHIFT ACT2” and “SHIFT AC MON2”.
Without CONSULT-II
1. Start engine.
2. Check voltage between transfer control unit harness connector

2. Remove transfer shift high relay and transfer shift low relay.
3. Check voltage between transfer shift high relay harness connec-
tor E46 terminal 5 (R), transfer shift low relay harness connector
E47 terminal 5 (R) and ground.
4. Turn ignition switch “ON”. (Do not start engine.)
5. Check voltage between transfer shift high relay harness connec-
tor E46 terminal 5 (R), transfer shift low relay harness connector
E47 terminal 5 (R) and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Check the following. If any items are damaged, repair or
replace damaged parts.

20A fuse [No. 57, located in the fuse block (J/B)]. Refer to PG-4, "POWER SUPPLY ROUTING
CIRCUIT" .

Harness for short or open between battery, transfer shift high relay harness connector terminal
