Rear Load Leveling Air Suspension System
REMOVAL
1. Use the CONSULT-II “EXHAUST SOLENOID” active test to release the air pressure from the rear load
leveling air suspension system.
2. Disconnect the electrical connectors for the height sensor and the rear load leveling air suspension com-
pressor assembly.
3. Unclip the rubber cover to access the rear load leveling air suspension compressor assembly.
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-25, "
Removal and Instal-
lation of Brake Caliper and Disc Rotor" .

• 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-14
.
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

ALL-MODE 4WD SYSTEM
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 oper-
ating 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 different
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.
4WD WARNING LAMP
Turns ON or FLASH when there is a malfunction in 4WD system.
Also turns ON when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check. Turns OFF for approximately 1
second after the engine starts if system is normal.
4WD Warning Lamp Indication
Condition Content 4WD warning lamp
During self-diagnosis Indicates the malfunction position by number of flickers. Flickers at malfunction mode.
Lamp check*Checks the lamp by turning ON during engine starting. After
engine starts, it turns OFF if there are no malfunctions.ON
Malfunction in 4WD system*Turns ON to indicate malfunction. When ignition switch is
turned to “OFF” or the malfunction is corrected, it turns OFF.ON
When vehicle is driven with different
diameters of front and rear tiresFlickers once every 2 seconds.
Turns OFF when ignition switch is “OFF”.Flickers once every 2 sec-
onds.
