Precaution for Transfer Assembly and Transfer Control Unit Replacement

INFOID:0000000006245032

When replacing transfer assembly or transfer control unit, check the 4WD shift indicator lamp as follows.
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Check 4WD shift indicator lamp is turned ON for approximately 1 second.
• If OK, the position between transfer assembly and transfer control unit is correct.

• If NG, the position is different between transfer assembly and transfer control unit.

Adjust the position between transfer assembly and transfer control unit. See METHOD FOR POSITION

ADJUSTMENT that follows.

METHOD FOR POSITION ADJUSTMENT

1. Start engine. Run the engine for at least 10 seconds.
2. Stop vehicle and move A/T shift selector to N position with brake pedal depressed. Stay in N for at least 2

seconds.

3. Turn 4WD shift switch to 2WD position. Stay in 2WD for at least 2 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF.
5. Start engine.
6. Erase self-diagnosis. Refer to

DLN-23, "CONSULT-III Function (ALL MODE AWD/4WD)"

7. Check 4WD shift indicator lamp. Refer to

DLN-10, "Preliminary Check"

If 4WD shift indicator lamp does not indicate 2WD, install new transfer control unit and retry the above

check.

Precaution

INFOID:0000000006245033

•

Before connecting or disconnecting the transfer control unit

harness connector, turn ignition switch “OFF” and disconnect

battery cables. Failure to do so may damage the transfer con-

trol unit. Battery voltage is applied to transfer control unit

even if ignition switch is turned “OFF”.

•

When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or

from transfer control unit, take care not to damage pin termi-

nals (bend or break).

When connecting pin connectors make sure that there are not

any bends or breaks on transfer control unit pin terminals.

Service Notice

INFOID:0000000006245034

• After overhaul refill the transfer with new transfer fluid.

• Check the fluid level or replace the fluid only with the vehicle parked on level ground.

• During removal or installation, keep inside of transfer clear of dust or dirt.

• Disassembly should be done in a clean work area.

• Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the transfer. It is important to prevent the internal

parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.

• Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If matchmarks are required, be cer-

tain they do not interfere with the function of the parts when applied.

• All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or

reassembly.

• Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them

with new ones if necessary.

• Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the transfer is disassembled.

• In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If tight-

ening sequence is specified, use it.

• Observe the specified torque when assembling.

• Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow-dry them.

• Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.

• Use lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere

with the operation of the transfer.
