TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
• The purpose of the test is to determine overall performance of
transfer and analyze causes of problems.
• When a malfunction is found in any part of transfer, perform the
road test to locate the malfunction area and repair the malfunction
parts.
• The road test consists of the following three parts.
- Check before engine is started. Refer to "CHECK BEFORE
ENGINE IS STARTED".
- Check at idle. Refer to "CHECK AT IDLE" .
- Cruise test. Refer to "CRUISE TEST".
CHECK BEFORE ENGINE IS STARTED
1.CHECK 4WD SHIFT INDICATOR LAMP
1. Park vehicle on flat surface.
2. Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position.
3. Move A/T selector lever to “P” position.
4. Set 4WD shift switch to “2WD” position.
5. Turn ignition switch to “ON” position. (Do not start engine.)
Does 4WD shift indicator lamp turn ON for approximately 1 second?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Go to TF-107, "
4WD Shift Indicator Lamp or 4LO Indicator Lamp Does Not Change".
2.CHECK 4WD WARNING LAMP
1. Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position.
2. Move A/T selector lever to “P” position.
3. Set 4WD shift switch to “2WD” position.
4. Turn ignition switch to “ON” position. (Do not start engine.)
Does 4WD warning lamp turn ON?
YES >> GO TO "CHECK AT IDLE".
NO >> GO TO TF-104, "
4WD Warning Lamp Does Not Turn ON".
CHECK AT IDLE
1.CHECK 4WD SHIFT INDICATOR LAMP
1. Park vehicle on flat surface and engage the parking brake.
2. Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position.
3. Move A/T selector lever to “P” position.
4. Set 4WD shift switch to “2WD” position.
5. Start engine.
Does 4WD shift indicator lamp turn ON?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK 4WD WARNING LAMP
Check 4WD warning lamp state?
Is 4WD warning lamp turned ON?
YES >> Perform the self-diagnosis. Refer to TF-48, "Self-Diagnosis Procedure" or TF-48, "Self-Diagnosis
Procedure".
NO >> Go to TF-102, "
4WD Shift Indicator Lamp and 4LO Indicator Lamp Do Not Turn ON".
3.CHECK 4WD SHIFT INDICATOR AND 4LO INDICATOR OPERATION

1. Brake pedal depressed.
2. Move A/T selector lever to “N” position.
3. Set 4WD shift switch to “2WD”, “AUTO”, “4H”, “4LO”, “4H”,
“AUTO” and “2WD” in order. (Stay at each switch position for at
least 1 second.)
Do 4WD shift indicator and 4LO indicator lamps change properly?
Does buzzer sound?
YES >> GO TO "CRUISE TEST".
NO >> GO TO TF-107, "
4WD Shift Indicator Lamp or 4LO Indi-
cator Lamp Does Not Change" .
CRUISE TEST
1.CHECK INPUT SIGNAL
1. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
2. Park vehicle on flat surface.
3. Move A/T selector lever to “P” position.
4. Set 4WD shift switch to “AUTO” position.
5. Start engine.
6. Drive vehicle for at least 30 seconds at a speed higher than 20 km/h (12 MPH).
Check 4WD warning lamp turned ON?
On steady>>Perform the self-diagnosis. Refer to TF-48, "Self-Diagnosis Procedure" or TF-48, "Self-Diagno-
sis Procedure".
Flash rapidly>>GO TO T F - 111 , "
4WD Warning Lamp Flashes Rapidly" .
Flash slowly>>GO TO TF-112, "
4WD Warning Lamp Flashes Slowly".
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK TIGHT CORNER BRAKING SYMPTOM (1)
1. Set 4WD shift switch to “AUTO” position.
2. Drive vehicle at speed lower than 20 km/h (12 MPH) with steering wheel fully turned.
Does tight corner braking symptom occur?
YES >> GO TO TF-113, "Heavy Tight-corner Braking Symptom Occurs".
NO >> GO TO 3.
3.CHECK TIGHT CORNER BRAKING SYMPTOM (2)
1. Set 4WD shift switch to “4HI” position.
2. Drive vehicle at speed lower than 20 km/h (12 MPH) with steering wheel fully turned.
Does tight corner braking symptom occur?
YES >> Inspection End.
NO >> GO TO TF-114, "
4WD System Does Not Operate" .
