While pulling, be careful not to dama ge the outside of the hood lock cable.
INSTALLATION
1. Pull the hood lock cable through the dash lower hole into the engine room.
Be careful not to bend the cable too much, keeping the radius
100mm (3.94 in) or more.
2. Make sure the cable is not of fset from the positioning grommet,
and push the grommet into the dash lower hole securely.
3. Apply sealant around the grommet at * mark.

HEAVY TIGHT-CORNER BRAKING SYMPTOM OCCURS
HEAVY TIGHT-CORNER BR
AKING SYMPTOM OCCURS
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003772176
This symptom occurs when the vehicle is accelerati ng in 4WD and the steering wheel is turned fully either
direction. It may feel like a bump or being pushed fr om behind. A small amount of this bumping feeling is
acceptable under certain road conditions. The transfer case may be adjusted using the CONSULT-III to com-
pensate for this condition.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000003772177
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
NOTE:
 Light tight-corner braking symptom may occur depending on driving conditions in AUTO mode. This is not a malfunction.
 Heavy tight-corner braking symptom occurs when vehicle is driven in the following conditions: 4WD shift
switch is 4H or 4LO, steering wheel is turned fully to either side.

.
Are the inspection results normal?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Repair or replace damaged parts.
3.CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SIGNAL CIRCUIT
Perform self diagnosis for ECM. Refer to EC-63, "CONSULT-III Function (ENGINE)"
.
Is any malfunction deteced by self-diagnosis?
YES >> Check the malfunctioning system.
NO >> GO TO 4.
4.CHECK SYSTEM FOR CLUT CH PRESSURE SOLENOID
Perform trouble diagnosis for clutch pressure solenoid system. Refer to DLN-70, "Diagnosis Procedure"
.
Are the inspection results normal?
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Repair or replace damaged parts.
5.SYMPTOM CHECK
Check again.
Are the inspection results normal?
YES >> Inspection End.
NO >> GO TO 6.
6.CHECK TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT
Check transfer control unit input/output signal. Refer to DLN-81, "Reference Value"
.
Are the inspection results normal?
YES >> GO TO 7.
NO >> Check transfer control unit pin terminals fo r damage or loose connection with harness connector.
If any items are damaged, repair or replace damaged parts.
7.CHECK TRANSFER INNER PARTS
1. Disassemble transfer assembly. Refer to DLN-142, "Disassembly and Assembly"
.
2. Check transfer inner parts.
