ELECTRIC CONTROLLED COUPLING
Operation Principle
1. The 4WD control unit supplies command current to electric con-
trolled coupling (4WD solenoid).
2. The control clutch is engaged by electromagnet and torque is
detected in control clutch.
3. The cam operates in response to control clutch torque and
applies pressure to main clutch.
4. The main clutch transmits torque to front wheels according to
pressing power.

Transmission torque to the rear wheels is determined accord-
ing to command current.
4WD CONTROL UNIT

4WD controls distribution of drive power between front-wheel
drive (100:0) and 4WD (50:50) conditions according to signals
from sensors.

Self-diagnosis can be done with CONSULT-II.

ALL MODE 4X4 SYSTEM

4WD MODE SWITCH
AUTO Mode

Electronic control allows optimal distribution of torque to front/rear wheels to match road conditions.

4WD mode makes possible stable driving, with no wheel spin, on snowy roads or other slippery surfaces.

On roads which do not require 4WD, AUTO mode contributes to improved fuel economy by driving in con-
ditions close to front-wheel drive.

Sensor inputs determine the vehicle's turning condition, and tight cornering/braking are controlled by dis-
tributing optimum torque to rear wheels.
LOCK Mode

Front/rear wheel torque distribution is fixed, ensuring stable driving when climbing slopes.

Vehicle will switch automatically to AUTO mode if vehicle speed increases. If vehicle speed then
decreases, the vehicle automatically returns to direct 4-wheel driving conditions.

LOCK mode will change to AUTO mode automatically, when the vehicle speed exceeds approx. 30 km/h
(19 MPH). The LOCK indicator light keeps illuminating.
NOTE:
If there is a significant difference in pressure or wear between tires, full vehicle performance is not available.
LOCK mode may be prohibited, or speeds at which LOCK mode is enabled may be restricted detecting tire
conditions.
2WD Mode
Vehicle is in front-wheel drive.
NOTE:

If front wheels are slipping in 2WD mode, do not switch to AUTO or LOCK. This can cause difficulties for
the system.

Even if the 4WD mode switch is in 2WD mode, the 4WD control unit occasionally automatically change to
AUTO mode depending on the driving condition (For example; Depressing the acceleration firmly). This is
not malfunction. However, 4WD indicator lamp dose not illuminate.
4WD INDICATOR LAMP AND LOCK INDICATOR LAMP
The following is the indications of indicator lamp.
4WD WARNING LAMP
Turns ON when there is a malfunction in 4WD system. It indicates that the vehicle is in fail-safe mode and
change to front-wheel drive or shifting driving force-4WD (Rear-wheels still have some driving torque).
Also turns ON when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check. Turns OFF approximately for 1
seconds after the engine starts if system is normal.

COMPONENTS FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
CAN CommunicationEDS0027K
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN Communication UnitEDS002XA
Component parts Function
4WD control unit

Controls driving force distribution by signals from each sensor and switch from front wheel driving
mode (100:0) to 4WD mode (50:50).

2WD mode is available by fail-safe function if malfunction is detected in electrical system.
Wheel sensors Detects wheel speed.
4WD solenoid Controls electric controlled coupling by operation signal from 4WD control unit.
Electric controlled coupling Transmits driving force to rear final drive.
4WD mode switch Able to select from 2WD, AUTO or LOCK mode.
4WD warning lamp

Illuminates if malfunction is detected in electrical system of 4WD system.

There is 1 blink in 2 seconds if rotation difference of front wheels and rear wheels is large.

There are 2 blinks in 1 second if load is still applied to driving parts.
4WD indicator lamp Indicate operation with optimal distribution of torque to front/rear wheels.
LOCK indicator lamp Indicate that 4WD system is under direct 4-wheel driving mode.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

TROUBLE DIAGNOSISPFP:00004
Fail-Safe FunctionEDS001VE

If any malfunction occurs in 4WD electrical system, and control unit detects the malfunction, 4WD warning
lamp on combination meter turns ON to indicate system malfunction.

When 4WD warning lamp is ON, vehicle changes to front-wheel drive or shifting driving force-4WD (Rear-
wheels still have some driving torque).
How to Perform Trouble DiagnosisEDS001VF
BASIC CONCEPT

To perform trouble diagnosis, it is the most important to have understanding about vehicle systems (con-
trol and mechanism) thoroughly.

It is also important to clarify customer complaints before inspec-
tion.
First of all, reproduce symptoms, and understand them fully.
Ask customer about his/her complaints carefully. In some cases,
it will be necessary to check symptoms by driving vehicle with
customer.
CAUTION:
Customers are not professional. It is dangerous to make an
easy guess like "maybe the customer means that...," or
"maybe the customer mentions this symptom".

It is essential to check symptoms right from the beginning in
order to repair malfunctions completely.
For intermittent malfunctions, reproduce symptoms based on
interview with customer and past examples. Do not perform
inspection on ad hoc basis. Most intermittent malfunctions are
caused by poor contacts. In this case, it will be effective to shake
suspected harness or connector by hand. When repairing with-
out any symptom diagnosis, you cannot judge if malfunctions
have actually been eliminated.

After completing diagnosis, always erase diagnostic memory.
Refer to TF-33, "
How to Erase Self-diagnostic Results" .

For intermittent malfunctions, move harness or harness connec-
tor by hand. Then check for poor contact or reproduced open circuit.

TRANSFER ASSEMBLY

ASSEMBLY INSPECTION
Backlash
1. Install a bolt to the companion flange.
2. Fit a dial indicator onto the bolt.
3. Measure the circumference backlash of the companion flange,
and make sure it satisfies the standard below.

If measured value is out of the specification, disassemble it to
check and adjust each part.
Tooth Contact
1. Remove the pinion sleeve assembly. Refer to TF-64, "Pinion Sleeve Assembly" .
2. Apply red lead to the drive gear.
CAUTION:
Apply red lead to both the faces of 3 to 4 gears at 4 loca-
tions evenly spaced on the drive gear.
3. Install the pinion sleeve shims and pinion sleeve assembly.
Refer to TF-74, "
Pinion Sleeve Assembly" .
4. Remove the plug on the upper side of the transfer case.
When installing plug, apply recommended sealant on screw
part, and tighten it at the specified torque. Refer to TF-59,
"COMPONENTS" .
5. Rotate the companion flange back and forth several times, and
check the drive pinion gear to drive gear tooth contact by view-
ing from the plug hole.Backlash : 0.13 - 0.19 mm (0.0051 - 0.0075 in)
