Removal
NOTE: Before removing transmission and transfer
assembly from vehicle, change the transfer mode to
2W D using the 4W D push button switch on dash panel.
1. Disconnect battery ground cable.
2. Raise and support vehicle with suitable stands. Drain
transfer case fluid.
3. Remove rear propeller shaft and front propeller shaft.
NOTE: Apply alignment marks on the flange at both front
and rear sides.
4. Disconnect harness connectors and clip.
Connector: transfer switch, 2W D-4W D actuator,
speed sensor.
NOTE: Avoid turning the vehicle ignition switch to the ON
position when the 2W D-4W D connector is removed
(battery connected).
If the ignition switch must be turned to the ON position,
the controller must first be removed (memory must be
cleared because the CHECK 4W D INDICATOR will
light).
5. Remove transfer case assembly from the vehicle.
Installation

1. Apply a thin coat of molybdenum disulfide grease to
the input shaft spline as shown in the figure.

3. Shifting from 4H to 4L
3-1 When the 4L indicator flashes at 2Hz
W hen shifting from 4H to 4L, the 4L indicator continues flashing at 2Hz until shifting in the transfer case is
completed. The phases of the engaged splines may sometimes deviate preventing completion of shifting. By
correcting the deviation of phases, shifting is completed.

Step 3-1:
(In case of AT): Set the select bar of the transmission to the D position.
(In case of MT): Set the lever of the transmission to a position allowing running and engage the clutch gently.
At this time, some rotating force acts on the engaged splines, phase is corrected and the engagement is
completed.
3-2 When the 4L indicator flashes at 2Hz for 10 seconds and then keeps ON again (AT vehicle)
This condition occurs when torsional torque has been generated between the transmission and road surface
and the transfer standby mechanism cannot absorb it completely.

Step 3-2:
Set the select lever of the transmission to the N position. (Stepping on the brake pedal is effective at
this time.)
3-3 When the 4L indicator flashes at a frequency of 4Hz
Shifting from 4H to 4L is restricted.
W hen the vehicle is running, the transmission lever is at the running range and the engine speed is high (L4:
3000rpm or more V6: 2000rpm), the transfer cannot be shifted from 4H to 4L (restriction on operation).
Restriction on operation (Except 4JA1-T)
The 4H, neutral and 4L shifting mechanism has no synchronization function. Therefore, if relative rotations in the
mechanism become excessive, shifting exerts adverse influence on the internal mechanism of the transfer. To
avoid such a trouble, vehicle condition is detected to restrict the operation (vehicle speed, engine speed and TM
position).
Requirement to restrict the speed: Vehicle should be in stop. Due to the detection logic, time to wait for start of operation may be required.
A/T: If the vehicle is in stop for a long time at the TM running range (D, 1, 2) before operating the AT, waiting
time becomes longer (from 1 second to 3 minutes at the maximum).
M/T: If the vehicle is at stop with the clutch stepped on at the T/M running position (1 – R), the time to wait
becomes longer.
W aiting time means the time commencing from when other requirements (engine speed and T/M position) are
met to permission of the speed restriction. Operation during the waiting time is not permissible.
The waiting time is 1 second at the minimum and increases up to 5 seconds if the above condition continues for
3 minutes. After that, the waiting time increases up to 3 minutes in 2 minute intervals.
W hen it is clear that the above condition has continued and reduction of waiting time is required, turn on or off
the ignition or start and stop the vehicle several meters.
Requirements for permission of restriction on engine speed: Engine speed should be decreased.
The engine speed of 3000rpm (V6: 2000rpm) or below is advisable.
Requirements for permission of restriction on T/M position restriction:
(AT) N range is recommended
(MT) should be at the neutral.

These requirements for permission should all be met before the switch is operated. If the requirements are met
after operation, operation is not automatically effected but re-operation is required after permission is given.

TRANSFER CONTROL SYSTEM 7D1-51
Trouble diagnosis based on the operation switch, transfer indicator lamp and operating
sound “Check 4WD” indicator ON (operation guard based on the transfer actuator
position detection error)
This condition indicates a faulty circuit related with the detection (limit) switches of the system actuator.
Detection (limit) switches detect the actuator operating angle based on their combinations.
The controller monitors transition of the actuator based on the combination of the detection (limit) switch output.
If the transition based on the combinations indicates some trouble, it is memorized, and shifting operation is
stopped when the trouble is counted 5 times, and the “Check 4W D” indicator lights up. At this time, the system
permits operation to 2H only.
W hen such a condition occurs, inspection of the transfer shift actuator, checking of the harness related with the
detection (limit) switch, and erasure of the memory of the controller is required.
(Refer to the memory erasure procedure for the erasure of the memory.)
At this time, the position indicator may flash at 4Hz. It means that a detection (limit) switch trouble wad detected
in the operation process shown by that position indicator (example: 4W D indicator when shifting from 2H to 4H).

Caution:
During trouble diagnosis and correction, do not turn ON the ignition with the harness connector of the
transfer actuator disconnected. (Do not disconnect the harness connector of the transfer actuator when
the ignition is ON.)
If the controller is connected during this condition, a limit SW trouble is judged and the above-described
“Check 4WD” condition occurs.
This can be reset by clearing the memory.
When disconnecting the harness connector of the actuator and turning the ignition ON is required, remove
the controller at the same time or remove the IG power fuse of the transfer controller.

Diagnosis from symptom
Check4WD lighting up
Step Action Yes No
1 Check what was done before the
trouble occurred.
W as the harness between the
transfer controller and actuator
disconnected with the ignition
kept ON for the purpose of
servicing the vehicle?
Or, was the ignition turned ON
(power supplied to the transfer
controller) with the harness of
the actuator removed? If the power is supplied with the
actuator not connected, a faulty
position detection switch is
considered.
Clear the memory and trace this
chart from the beginning. Go to step 2.
2
Is the ignition switch ON? Go to step 3.
Turn the ignition switch ON and
trace this chart from the
beginning.
3 Does the transfer-related
indicators (4W D, 4Lo, Check
4W D, neutral) light up for 2
seconds when the ignition switch
is turned ON? Go to step 4.
Indicator lamp burnt out.
Disconnected harness wire.
After repairing, trace this chart
from the beginning.
4 Has the harness between the
Check4W D indicator and
transfer controller GND shorted? GND (body) short of the indicator
harness.
After repairing, trace this chart
from the beginning. Go to step 5.
5
Check the continuity of harness
between the transfer controller
and transfer actuator. Check
the power short and GND short.
Check the GND harness of the
transfer actuator.
Is a trouble noticed? Repair the harness, clear the
memory and trace this chart from
the beginning. Go to step 6.
6
Check the limit switch of the
actuator.
Is a trouble noticed? Failed actuator. Replace the
actuator, clear the memory and
trace this chart from the
beginning. Clear the memory and trace this
chart from the beginning.
Failed controller.
Replace the controller, clear the
memory and trace this chart from
the beginning.
To check the operation after completing the repair and clearing the memory, shift between 2H and 4L at least 5
times.
To judge the condition more quickly, ask the customer what happens when the Check4W D lamp lights up.
W hen the position indicator blinks at a frequency of 4Hz immediately after trouble occurs, the position of failure
which the indicator shows may be limited.
(Since it indicates the situation immediately before detection of failure, whether the vehicle is running or at a
standstill, the possibility of failure around that point is high.)
Status of the transfer when the Check4W D lights up is not always the same. Immediately after failure occurs, 2H
can be operated.
