TRANSFER ASSEMBLY
 When installing the transfer to the
transmission, install the mount-
ing bolts following the standard below, tighten bolts to the specified
torque.
 When installing transfer breather hose, make sure t here are no pinched or restricted areas on the transfer
breather hose caused by bending or winding.
- Install the transfer breather hose (1) of transmission side with the
paint mark (A) facing upward and the mark (B) (: ) facing right
side.
- Install the transfer breather hose (1) of transfer side with the paint mark (A) facing upward, and insert breather hose to breather tube
(2) until dimension (B) shown as follows.
- Be sure to fix breather hose in (A) and (B) positions. Fix with the
paint mark facing upward in the (A) position.
 Check oil level and check for oil leakage after installation. Refer to DLN-106, "
Inspection".
 If replacing transfer assembly, perform writing unit parameter,
learning of fluid viscosity and initial calibration. Refer to DLN-42,

INFOID:0000000006222372
NOTE:
 Before removing and installing any control units, first tu rn the push-button ignition switch to the LOCK posi-
tion, then disconnect bot h battery cables.
 After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect both
battery cables.
 Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.
If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnos is according to self-diagnosis results.
For vehicle with steering lock unit, if the battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
cannot be turned.
If turning the steering wheel is required with the bat tery disconnected or discharged, follow the operation pro-
cedure below before starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables. NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position. (At this time, the steering lock will be released.)
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock wi ll remain released with both battery cables discon-
nected and the steering wheel can be turned.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect bot h battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn
the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering
wheel will lock when the push-button igniti on switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Servicing Front Final DriveINFOID:0000000006222373
 Before starting diagnosis of the vehicle, understand the symptoms well. Perform correct and systematic
operations.
 Check for the correct installation status prior to re moval or disassembly. When matching marks are required,
be certain they do not interfere with the f unction of the parts they are applied to.
 Overhaul should be done in a clean work area, a dust proof area is recommended.
 Before disassembly, completely remove sand and mud from the exterior of the unit, preventing them from
entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.
 Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.
 Avoid using cotton gloves or a shop cloth to prevent the entering of lint.
 Check appearance of the disassembled parts for dam age, deformation, and abnormal wear. Replace them
with new ones if necessary.
 Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the unit is disassembled.
 Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow them dry.
 Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
 When applying sealant, remove the old sealant from the mating surface; then remove any moisture, oil, and
foreign materials from the application and mating surfaces.
 In principle, tighten nuts or bolts gradually in severa l steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If a
tightening sequence is specified, observe it.
 During assembly, observe the specified tightening torque.
 Add new differential gear oil, petroleum jelly, or multi-purpose grease, as specified.
