STRUCTURE AND OPERATION
DESCRIPTION
 Ball ramp lever operates in the direction of main shaft axis according to rotation of actuator shaft and
presses piston. Pressure is applied to each clutch and torque is transmitted.
 Shift fork operates in the direction of main shaft axis according to rotation of actuator shaft and performs
engagement and disengagement to Hi-Lo sleeve and lock sleev e of main shaft. Mode is switched between
4H ⇔4L.
AUTO MODE
 The optimum torque distribution is electronically performed for front and rear wheels according to road con-
ditions.
 Stable start without wheel spin is possible on slippery road conditions, such as on a snowy road.
 When road condition does not require 4WD driving, the st atus becomes close to rear wheel drive, which
results in better fuel efficiency and prov ides FR-like steering characteristics.
 The vehicle cornering status is judged according to information from each sensor, and the optimum torque is
distributed to front wheels for prev enting tight-corner braking symptom.
NOTE:
When there is a difference of revolution speed between the front and rear wheel the shift occasionally changes
to direct 4-wheel driving conditions aut omatically. This is not a malfunction.
4H MODE
 Torque distribution for front and rear wheels is fixed and stable start is achieved while driving on an rough,
sandy or snowy road.
4L MODE
 Large traction force is obtained due to low gear. High running ability and escaping ability are achieved.
 Switching from 4H mode to 4L mode is not possible w hen the vehicle is not stopped and A/T shift selector is
not in the neutral position.

4WD SYSTEM
4WD SYSTEM : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006222224
 In AUTO mode, distribution of traction force is cont
rolled from 2WD status (0:100) to 4WD status (50:50)
according to signal from each sensor and switch.
 In accordance with fail-safe function, when system is malfunctioning, 4WD warning lamp on combination meter turns ON and 4WD control stops. For fail-safe function, refer to DLN-20, "
4WD SYSTEM : Fail-Safe".
 When a high load status continues for transfer assembly (transfer control actuator or transfer fluid), 4WD
control temporarily becomes 4H or 2WD status, according to protection function.
NOTE:
4WD system is not malfunctioning.

SYSTEM
4WD Warning Lamp
 Turns ON when there is a malfunction in 4WD system. 4W
D warning lamp indicates the vehicle is in fail-safe
mode.
 Also turns ON when ignition switch is turned ON, fo r the purpose of lamp check. Turns OFF approximately
for 1 second after the engine starts if system is normal.
ATP Warning Lamp
When the A/T shift selector is in P position, the vehicle may move if the transfer case in neutral. ATP warning
lamp is turned on to indicate this condition to the driver.
CONDITION FOR OPERATE WARNING BUZZER
For preventing an incorrect operation during 4H ⇔4L switching, warning buzzer sounds from inside of transfer
control unit and warns the driver, when certain conditions are satisfied.
4WD SYSTEM : Fail-SafeINFOID:0000000006303692
 If any malfunction occurs in 4WD electrical system, and control unit detects the malfunction, 4WD warning
lamp on combination meter turns ON to indicate system malfunction.
 When 4WD warning lamp is ON, vehicle changes to rear-wheel drive or shifts to 4-wheel drive (front-wheels
still have some driving torque).
Condition 4WD warning lamp
Lamp check Turns ON when ignition switch is turned ON. Turns OFF ap-
prox. 1 second after the engine start.
4WD system malfunction ON
Protection function is activated due to heavy load to transfer assem-
bly. (4WD system is not malfunctioning.) Quick blinking: 2 times/second
(Blinking in approx. 1 minute and then turning OFF)
Large difference in diameter of front/rear tires Slow blinking: 1 time/2 seconds
(Continuing to blink until turning ignition switch OFF)
Other than above (system normal) OFF
