Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000006222215
Transfer Control UnitINFOID:0000000006222216
 Transfer control unit operates transfer control act uator, 4WD warning lamp and 4WD mode indicator lamp
according to input signal from 4WD shift switch and each sensor and control unit.
 When 4WD system is malfunctioning, 4WD warning la mp turns ON and fail-safe status activates.
 When protection is necessary, 4WD warning la mp blinks and protection status activates.
Transfer Control ActuatorINFOID:0000000006222217
Transfer control actuator integrates transfer motor, transfer internal position sensor, and transfer motor tem-
perature sensor, and switches 4WD mode (AUTO ⇔4H ⇔4L).
TRANSFER MOTOR
Transfer motor operates according to signal from transfer control unit and switches 4WD mode
(AUTO ⇔4H ⇔4L). It also performs front and rear distri bution of traction force during AUTO mode.
TRANSFER INTERNAL SPEED SENSOR
Transfer internal speed sensor detects rotation status of transfer motor and transmits signal to transfer control
unit.
TRANSFER MOTOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
 Transfer motor temperature sensor m easures temperature of transfer motor.

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.
