4. Remove the cotter pin, then remove the nut from the drive shaft
using power tool.

Discard the cotter pin, use a new one for installation.
5. Remove the drive shaft. Refer to RAX-7, "
Removal and Installa-
tion" .
6. Remove the four wheel hub and bearing assembly bolts using power tool.

Discard the four wheel hub and bearing assembly bolts, use new ones for installation.
7. Pull out the wheel hub and bearing assembly for access to remove the rear ABS sensor from the wheel hub and bearing
assembly as shown.

Inspect the ABS sensor O-ring, replace the ABS sensor
assembly if damaged.

Clean the ABS sensor hole and mounting surface with a suit-
able brake cleaner and a clean lint-free shop rag. Be careful
that dirt and debris do not enter the axle bearing area.

Apply a coat of suitable grease to the ABS sensor O-ring and
mounting hole.
CAUTION:
Do not pull on the ABS harness.
8. Remove the wheel hub and bearing assembly.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Apply grease 44003 7S000 to contact surface between wheel
hub and drive shaft. Use sufficient grease to completely coat
contact area.

Inspect the ABS sensor O-ring, replace the ABS sensor assem-
bly if damaged.

Clean the ABS sensor hole and mounting surface with a suitable
brake cleaner and a clean lint-free shop rag. Be careful that dirt
and debris do not enter the axle bearing area.

Apply a coat of suitable grease to the ABS sensor O-ring and
mounting hole.

Use a new cotter pin for installation.

Use new wheel hub and bearing assembly bolts for installation.

4. Disconnect the rear load leveling air suspension hoses at the
rear load leveling air suspension compressor assembly.

To disconnect the hoses, push in on the lock ring using a suit-
able tool and pull the hose out.
5. Remove both of the rear wheel and tire assemblies using power tool.
6. Remove the brake caliper without disconnecting the brake hoses, using power tool. Reposition the brake caliper out of the
way using a suitable wire. Refer to BR-28, "
Removal and Instal-
lation of Brake Caliper and Disc Rotor" .
CAUTION:

Do not crimp or stretch the brake hose when repositioning the brake caliper out of the way.

Do not press brake pedal while the brake caliper is removed.
7. Remove the spare tire.
8. Disconnect the two rear ABS sensor electrical connectors.
9. Remove the two rear drive shafts. Refer to RAX-7, "
Removal and Installation" .
10. Remove the rear final drive. Refer to RFD-13, "
REAR FINAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY" .
11. Remove the EVAP canister bolt from the top of the rear suspension member.
12. Disconnect the parking brake cables from the brackets on the rear suspension member.
13. Set a suitable jack to support each of the rear lower links and the coil spring tension.
14. Remove both of the rear lower link outer bolts and lower the jack to remove the rear coil springs.
15. Remove the two bolts to disconnect the seat belt latch anchor from the rear suspension member.
16. Disconnect both of the connecting rods from the rear stabilizer bar.
17. Set a suitable jack under the rear suspension member.
18. Remove the six rear suspension member bolts.
19. Slowly lower the jack to remove the rear suspension member, suspension arm, front and rear lower links and stabilizer bar as
an assembly.
20. If necessary, remove the suspension arm, spare tire bracket, height sensor, rear load leveling air suspension hoses, stabilizer
bar, knuckle, and front and rear lower links from the rear suspension member.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check the rear suspension member for deformation, cracks, and other damage and replace if necessary.

ALL-MODE 4WD SYSTEM
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
4WD mode. Setting the vehicle in the 2WD mode requires no pressure buildup. In other words, pressure force
applied to the wet-multiplate clutch becomes zero.
CLUTCH PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE
The clutch pressure solenoid valve distributes torque (front and rear) in AUTO mode.
LINE PRESSURE SWITCH

With the transfer system design, control of the oil pressure provides the transmission of drive torque to the
front wheels. The main pressure to control the oil pressure is referred to as the line pressure.

The line pressure switch determines whether or not adequate line pressure has built up under different
operating conditions.

The line pressure switch turns ON when line pressure is produced.

The line pressure switch senses line pressure abnormalities and turns the 4WD warning lamp ON.
CLUTCH PRESSURE SWITCH

The clutch pressure switch determines whether or not adequate clutch pressure has built up under differ-
ent operating conditions.

The clutch pressure switch turns ON when clutch pressure is produced.

The clutch pressure switch senses clutch pressure abnormalities and turns the 4WD warning lamp ON.
TRANSFER FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The transfer temperature sensor detects the transfer fluid temperature and sends a signal to the transfer con-
trol unit.
TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT

Transfer control unit controls transfer control device by input signals of each sensor and each switch.

Self-diagnosis can be done.
TRANSFER CONTROL DEVICE
The transfer control device changes the state of transfer assembly between 2WD, AUTO, 4H⇔4LO with the
2WD, AUTO, 4H and 4LO signals of 4WD shift switch.
NOTE:

To shift between 4H ⇔4LO, stop the vehicle, depress the brake pedal and shift the transmission selector
to the "N" position. Depress and turn the 4WD shift switch. The shift switch will not shift to the desired
mode if the transmission is not in "N" or the vehicle is moving. The 4LO indicator lamp will be lit when the
4LO is engaged.

Actuator motor and actuator position switch are integrated.
4WD SHIFT SWITCH AND INDICATOR LAMP
4WD Shift Switch
The 4WD shift switch allows selection from 2WD, AUTO, 4H or 4LO.
4WD Shift Indicator Lamp

Displays driving conditions selected by 4WD shift switch with 2WD, AUTO and 4H indicators while engine
is running. (When 4WD warning lamp is turned on, all 4WD shift indicator lamps are turned off.)

Turns ON for approximately 1 second when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check.
4LO Indicator Lamp

Displays 4LO condition while engine is running. 4LO indicator lamp flashes if transfer gear does not shift
completely under 2WD, AUTO, 4H ⇔4LO. (When 4WD warning lamp is turned on, 4LO indicator lamp is
turned off.)

Turns ON for approximately 1 second when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check.
