DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
1. CHECK ACTUATOR POSITION SWITCH SIGNAL
With CONSULT-II
1. Start engine.
2. Select “DATA MONITOR ” mode for “ALL MODE AWD/4WD ” with CONSULT-II.
3. Read out the value of “SHIFT POS SW1” and “SHIFT POS
SW2 ”.
Without CONSULT-II
1. Start engine.
2. Check voltage between transfer control unit harness connector terminal and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 5.
NG >> GO TO 2.

2. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT AND ACTUATOR POSITION SWITCH
1. Turn ignition switch “OFF”. (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)
2. Disconnect transfer control unit harness connector and the transfer control device (actuator position switch) harness connector.
3. Check continuity between the following terminals.
–Transfer control unit harness connector E143 terminal 27 and
transfer control device (actuator position switch) harness con-
nector F58 terminal 23.
–Transfer control unit harness connector E143 terminal 44 and
transfer control device (actuator position switch) harness con-
nector F58 terminal 20.
Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Repair or replace damaged parts.
3. CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT

Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
4. CHECK ACTUATOR POSITION SWITCH
1. Remove transfer control device. Refer to TF-138, "

2. Check operation by applying battery voltage to transfer control device (actuator motor) terminals 21 and 24.
CAUTION:

Do not operate actuator motor for more than 1 second.

Change the actuator motor position to “HIGH” when
installing.

Be careful not to overheat the harness.
OK or NG
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Replace transfer control device (actuator motor). Refer to TF-138, "
