TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT
• Transfer control unit controls transfer control dev
ice and it directs shifts from 4H-4LO and 2WD-4WD.
• Self-diagnosis can be done.
TRANSFER SHIFT HIGH AND LOW RELAYS
Transfer shift high and low relays apply power supply to transfer control device (actuator motor).
TRANSFER SHUT OFF RELAY
Transfer shut off relay applies power supply to transfer motor relay.
4WD SHIFT SWITCH AND INDICATOR LAMPS
4WD Shift Switch
Able to select 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
LDIA0055E
WDIA0163E
Revision: March 2010 2008 QX56
DLN-14
< FUNCTION DIAGNOSIS >[ATX14B]
4WD SYSTEM
• 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 flashes when there is a malfunction in 4WD system.
Also turns on when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp che\
ck. Turns OFF approximately 1 sec-
ond after the engine starts if system is normal.
4WD Warning Lamp Indication
ATP WARNING LAMP
When the A/T selector lever is in P position, the vehicle may move if the transfer case is in neutral. ATP warn-
ing lamp is turned on to indicate this condition to the driver.
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 closes 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 closes when clutch pressure is produced.
• The clutch pressure switch senses clutch pressure abnormalities and turns the 4WD warning lamp ON.
WAIT DETECTION SWITCH
• The wait detection switch operates when there is circulating torque produced in the propeller shaft (L→H) or
when there is a phase difference between 2-4 sleeve and clutch drum (H →L). After the release of the circu-
lating torque, the wait detection switch helps provi de the 4WD lock gear (clutch drum) shifts. A difference
may occur between the operation of the 4WD shift swit ch and actual drive mode. At this point, the wait
detection switch senses an actual drive mode.
• The wait detection switch operates as follows.
- 4WD lock gear (clutch drum) locked: ON
- 4WD lock gear (clutch drum) released: OFF
• The wait detection switch senses an actual drive mode and the 4WD shift indicator lamp indicates the vehi-
cle drive mode.
ATP SWITCH
ATP switch detects if transfer case is in neutral by the position of the L-H shift fork.
NOTE:
Transfer case may be in neutral when shifting between 4H-4LO.
NEUTRAL-4LO SWITCH
The neutral-4LO switch detects that transfer gear is in neutral or 4LO (or shifting from neutral to 4LO) condi-
tion by L-H shift fork position.
Condition 4WD warning lamp
System normal OFF
Lamp check Turns ON when ignition switch is turned ON.
Turns OFF after engine start.
4WD system malfunction ON
During self-diagnosis Flashes malfunction mode.
Large difference in diameter of front/
rear tires Flashes slow (1 flash / 2 seconds)
(Continues to flash until the ignition switch is turned OFF)
High fluid temperature in transfer case Flashes rapidly (2 flashes / 1 second)
(Continues to flash until fluid temperature returns to normal)

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (WITHOUT CONSULT-III)
Description
If the engine starts when there is a malfunction in the 4WD system, the 4WD warning lamp turns ON or flickers
in the combination meter. When the system functions properly, the warning lamp turns ON when the ignition
switch is turned to ON, and it turns OFF after engine starts . To locate the cause of a malfunction, start the self-
diagnosis function. The 4WD warning lamp in the combination meter will indicate the malfunction area by
flashing according to the self-diagnostic results. Refer to DLN-95, "
DTC Index".
Diagnostic Procedure
1. Warn up engine.
2. Move A/T selector lever to P position.
3. Turn 4WD shift switch to 2WD position.
4. Turn ignition switch ON and OFF at least twice, and then turn ignition switch OFF.
5. Turn 4WD shift switch to AUTO position.
6. Turn ignition switch ON. (Do not start engine.)
7. 4WD warning lamp ON.
8. Move A/T selector lever to R position.
9. Turn 4WD shift switch to 2WD, AUTO and 2WD in order.
10. Move A/T selector lever to D position.
11. Turn 4WD shift switch to 4H, AUTO and 4H in order.
ALL MODE AWD/4WD diagnostic mode Description
