6) Check steering shaft joints and shaft for any damages such
as crack, breakage, malfunction or excessive play.
If anything is found faulty, replace as lower joint assembly or
column assembly.
7) Check steering shaft for smooth rotation.
If found defective, replace as column assembly.
8) Check steering shaft and column for bend, cracks or defor-
mation.

WARNING:
When hoisting vehicle, be sure to select the lifting point suitable for the service work referring to Sec-
tion 0A.
NOTE:
All front suspension fasteners are an important attaching part in that it could affect the performance
of vital parts and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with
one of the same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not
use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as speci-
fied during reassembly to assure proper retention of this part.
Never attempt to heat, quench or straighten any front suspension part. Replace it with a new part or
damage to the part may result.

General Description
4WD Control System
The 4WD control system consists of a 4WD switch, a vacuum switch, a vacuum tank, two vacuum switching
valves (VSV1 and VSV2) and air locking hub assemblies.
The 4WD controller controls locking or unlocking of the air locking hub according to operation of the transfer shift
control lever.
Vacuum generated in the intake manifold passes through the check valve and stored in the vacuum tank.
According to signals from the 4WD switch, the 4WD controller activates VSV1 (for unlocking) or VSV2 (for lock-
ing) to apply vacuum from the vacuum tank so that the front axle and the wheel hub are disengaged or engaged.

OPERATION
2WD
→ 4WD
When the transfer shift control lever is shifted from the 2WD (2H) position to the 4WD (4H or 4L) position, a 4WD
“ON” signal is transmitted to the 4WD controller which then activates VSV2 to apply vacuum in the intake mani-
fold to the chamber “B” in the hub housing.
When vacuum is applied, the slide gear is separated from the magnet, moves toward the center of the vehicle
body and gets engaged with the outer gear. In this way, the front axle shaft and the front wheel hub rotate as one
unit.
If vacuum in the circuit fails to reach 260 mmHg within 15 seconds after operation of VSV2 due to such trouble
as a hole in the vacuum pipe, the slide gear does not operate and the 4WD indicator light flashes to warn that
the hub is unlocked.

4WD
→ 2WD
When the transfer shift control lever is shifted from the 4WD (4H or 4L) to the 2WD (2H) position, the 4WD con-
troller activates VSV1 and the intake manifold vacuum is applied to the chamber “A” in the hub housing. As the
slide gear is shifted to the wheel side by the vacuum force and disengaged from the outer gear, rotation of the
front wheel hub is not transmitted to the front axle shaft.

Diagnosis
Diagnosis Table
For description not found in the table below, refer to “Diagnosis Table” in Section 3.
4WD CONTROL SYSTEM
4WD CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC FLOW TABLE
Before performing the trouble diagnosis, check that the air locking hub assemblies are in good condition and
there is no air leakage from vacuum hoses and vacuum pipe. Refer to “4WD Control System Check” in this sec-
tion for air leakage.
[NOTES ON SYSTEM CIRCUIT INSPECTION]
Be sure to read “Precautions for Electrical Circuit Service” in Section 0A before circuit inspection and
observe what is written there.
For system circuit, refer to the figure of “System Circuit” in this section. Condition Possible Cause Correction

Step Action Yes No
1 Check ground circuit.
1) Disconnect coupler from 4WD controller
with ignition switch OFF.
2) Check for proper connection to 4WD con-
troller at all terminals.
3) If OK, check continuity between A5 terminal
and body ground.
Is there continuity between A5 terminal and
body ground?Go to Step 2.“B” wire is open.
2 Check power circuit.
1) Disconnect coupler from 4WD controller.
2) Turn ignition switch ON.
3) Check voltage between A10 terminal and
ground.
Is it 10 – 14 V?Go to Step 3.“Y/R” circuit is open or
