RFD-28
REAR FINAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
4. Install bearing caps in their correct locations and tighten bearing cap mounting bolts to the specified torque. Refer to RFD-18,
"COMPONENTS" .
5. Turn the carrier several times to seat the bearings.
6. Measure the turning torque of the carrier at the drive gear mounting bolts with a spring gauge.
7. If the turning torque is outside the specification, use a thicker/ thinner side bearing adjusting washer to adjust. Refer to RFD-
38, "Side Bearing Adjusting Washer" .
CAUTION:
Select a side bearing adjusting washer for right and left
individually.
8. Record the total amount of washer thickness required for the correct carrier side bearing preload.
Pinion Gear Height
1. Make sure all parts are clean and that the bearings are well lubricated.
2. Assemble the pinion gear bearings into the differential shim selector tool.

ACTIVE TEST MODE
Description
Use this mode to determine and identify the details of a malfunction based on self-diagnostic results or data
monitor. AWD control unit gives drive signal to actuator with receiving command from CONSULT-II to check
operation of actuator.
Test Item
CAUTION:
Do not continuously energize for a long time.
AWD CONTROL UNIT PART NUMBER
Ignore the AWD control unit part number displayed in the “ECU PART NUMBER”.
Refer to parts catalog to order the AWD control unit.
Test item Condition Description
ETS S/V
(Detects AWD solenoid valve)
Vehicle stopped
Engine running
No DTC detected
Change command current value to AWD solenoid, and then change driv-
ing mode. (Monitor value is normal if it is within approximately ±10% of
command value.)
Qu: Increase current value in increments of 0.20A
Qd: Decrease current value in increments of 0.20A
UP: Increase current value in increments of 0.02A
DOWN: Decrease current value in increments of 0.02A
