Diagnosis
Before determining a trouble (Non-trouble mode)
1. When shifting from 2H to 4H:
1-1-1 When the flashing frequency of the 4WD indicator is changed from 2Hz to 4Hz (Shift on the fly) If the load is too large to shift the gears synchronously, the operation is repeated up to 3 times. If the shifting
is not effected after being repeated 3 times, the indicator frequency is changed from 2Hz to 4Hz. At the same
time, the actuator condition is changed to 2H, indicator flashes at 4Hz for 10 seconds, and then goes out.
Cause of excessive synchronous shifting load
• Extremely low temperature (the oil viscosity of the front differential increases requiring a large load for
synchronization).
• High speed (since the difference of relative revolutions of gears to be shifted synchronously is too large,
required work load per unit time becomes larger).
Step 1-1-1:
Stop the vehicle or decrease the speed and operate as required again.
1-1-2 When the flashing frequency of the 4WD indicator is changed from 2Hz to 4Hz (Rigid and free wheel
Hub) / Block out of meshing spline in transfer case.
Step 1-1-2:
Run the vehicle forward and backward several meters and operate as required again.
1-2 When the flashing of 4WD indicator at 2Hz continues more than 11.5 seconds (repetition of 3 times of
above No.1 is counted) (Shift on the fly)
If there is difference of revolutions and phases between the front wheel and the axle, connecting the front
wheel and axle is difficult.
Until shifting in the transfer and connection of the front wheel and axle are completed
∗, the indicator flashes at
a frequency of 2Hz. In the above case, the indicator continues flashing at a frequency of 2Hz until the
connection of the front axle is completed. (If the shifting in the transfer is not completed, the flashing
frequency is changed to 4Hz (above No.1).)
By correcting the difference of relative revolutions and deviation of phases, the shifting can be completed.
Step 1-2:
While the vehicle is running, check it is safe around the vehicle and then accelerate or decelerate the
vehicle while going straight.
When the vehicle is at a stop, run the vehicle forward and backward several meters.
2. When shifting from 4H to 2H
2-1 When 4WD indicator continues flashing at 2Hz
W hen shifting from 4H to 2H, the 4W D indicator continues flashing at 2Hz until separation in the transfer and
the separation of the front wheel axle are completed∗. W hen torsional torque is accumulated in the drive
system, separation in the transfer and separation of the front axle∗ is difficult. In such a case, they can be
separated by removing the torsional torque of the drive system.
Step 2-1:
While the vehicle is running, check it is safe around the vehicle and then accelerate or decelerate the
vehicle while going straight.
When the vehicle is in stop, run the vehicle several meters forward and backward.
∗: Shift on the fly only.

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.
