GEAR OIL
INSPECTION AND CHANGE
1) Before changing or inspecting oil, be sure to stop engine and lift
vehicle horizontally.
2) With vehicle lifted up, check oil level and leakage. If leakage ex-
ists, correct or repair it.
3) Drain old oil and fill new specified oil as shown below by speci-
fied amount (roughly up to level hole).
NOTE:
It is highly recommended to use SAE 75W-90 gear oil.
Whenever vehicle is hoisted for any other service work
than oil change, also be sure to check for oil leakage and
status of breather hoses.
If water or rust is mixed in drained oil, be sure to check
breather hose and boot of transmission and transfer.

4) When back up light switch has been replaced, check switch for
proper function with ignition switch turned ON and gear shifted
to reverse position. Turn OFF switch after checking its function.
INSPECTION OF 4WD SWITCH AND BACK UP LIGHT
SWITCH
1) Undo clamp and disconnect coupler of back up light switch
and / or 4WD switch.
2) Function of back up light switch can be checked as shown in fig-
ure.
There should be conduction at these terminals only when shift
lever is shifted to reverse position.
3) Function of transfer 4WD switch can be checked in the same
manner as back up light switch.
There should be conduction at these terminals when shift lever
is shifted to 4H, and 4L positions.
Upon completion of check, connect coupler and clamp wiring har-
ness as they were.
NOTE:
When replacing switch(es), use care not to let dust enter trans-
mission through switch hole(s).
