8) If equipped with shift (key) interlock cable (1), remove shift
(key) interlock cable screw (2) and then disconnect its cable
from ignition switch in order a) – c) as shown in the figure.
9) Remove steering column from vehicle.
10) Remove steering column seal (1) from steering column lower
bracket.
INSPECTION
CHECKING PROCEDURE
1) Check that two capsules (1) are attached to steering column
bracket (2) securely. Check clearance between capsules and
steering column bracket. Clearance should be 0.0 mm (0.0
in.) on both sides.
If found loose or clearance, replace steering column assem-
bly.
2) Check two plates (3) for any damages such as crack or
breakage.
If anything is found faulty, replace as steering column
assembly.
CAUTION:
Don’t separate double tube type steering column assem-
bly into steering column and shaft. If column or shaft is
defective, replace as and assembly.
NOTE:
Vehicles involved in accidents resulting in body damage,
where steering column has been impacted (or air bag
deployed), may have a damaged or misaligned steering
column.

(For LH steering vehicle without P/S system)
438.3 – 440.3 mm (17.26 – 17.33 in.)
(For RH steering vehicle without P/S system)
393.6 – 395.6 mm (15.50 – 15.57 in.)
(For LH steering vehicle with P/S system)
434.2 – 436.2 mm (17.09 – 17.17 in.)
(For RH steering vehicle with P/S system)
5) Check steering column lower seal (1) for breakage or defor-
mation.
If found defective, replace. NOTE:
Vehicles involved in accidents resulting in body damage, where steering column has been impacted
(or air bag deployed) may have a damaged or misaligned steering column.

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.

Components and Functions
Component Function
4WD switch When the transfer shift lever is shifted to 4L or 4H position from 2H, this switch
turns ON and cause the 4WD control system to turn ON.
4WD controller When the 4WD switch turns on, the 4WD controller activates VSV2 to lock the
air locking hubs and when it receives an “ON” signal from the vacuum switch, it
makes VSV2 to complete operation within 5 seconds and causes the 4WD indi-
cator light to light up.
If vacuum in the vacuum circuit fails to reach the specified level due to a leakage
in the vacuum circuit (when no “ON” signal is inputted from the vacuum switch),
the 4WD controller stops operation of VSV2 in 15 seconds and makes the 4WD
indicator light to flash to warn occurrence of a trouble.
When the 4WD switch turns off, the 4WD controller activates VSV1 for 10 sec-
onds to unlock the hubs and at the same time makes the 4WD indicator light
turn off.
VSV1 VSV1 operates according to the signal from the 4WD controller. When it is acti-
vated, the port opens and vacuum in the intake manifold is applied through the
vacuum circuit to unlock to the slide gear in the air locking hub. As a result, the
air locking hubs are unlocked.
VSV2 VSV2 operates according to the signal from the 4WD controller. When it is acti-
vated, the port opens and vacuum in the intake manifold is applied through the
vacuum circuit to lock to the slide gear in the air locking hub. As a result, the air
locking hubs are locked.
Vacuum switch When VSV2 receives the “ON” signal from 4WD switch, vacuum is applied
through its circuit to the vacuum switch. The vacuum switch turns on when it
detects vacuum exceeding 260 mmHg.
“4WD” indicator lamp It lights up when 4WD control system is in the 4WD mode.
It flashes to warn that locking hub operation has not completed (4WD control
system fails to shift 4WD).

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
short.

AIR LOCKING HUB
1) Start engine and shift transfer shift control lever to 2H posi-
tion.
2) Connect vacuum pump gauge (special tool) to the spindle
hose (2) which is disconnected from upper side pipe as
shown. Apply vacuum and check operating sound from air
locking hub (1).
If there is not operating sound, replace air locking hub
assembly.
