4WD WARNING LAMP DOES NOT TURN ON

Description

INFOID:0000000005258413

4WD warning lamp does not turn ON when turning ignition switch to ON.

Diagnosis Procedure

INFOID:0000000005258414

Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to

DLN-240, "Wiring Diagram - PART TIME 4WD SYSTEM -"

.

1.

CHECK TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUITS

Refer to

DLN-204, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

Are the inspection results normal?

YES

>> GO TO 2.

NO

>> Perform repairs as necessary.

2.

CHECK COMBINATION METER POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

1. Turn ignition switch “OFF”. (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)

2. Disconnect combination meter harness connector.

3. Check voltage between combination meter harness connector

terminals and ground.

4. Turn ignition switch “ON”. (Do not start engine.)

5. Check voltage between combination meter harness connector

terminals and ground.

Are the inspection results normal?

YES

>> GO TO 3.

NO

>> Check the following. If any items are damaged, repair

or replace damaged parts.

• 10A fuse [No. 14, located in the fuse block (J/B)] or

ignition switch.

• Harness for short or open between ignition switch and combination meter harness connector

terminal 16

3.

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT AND COMBINATION METER

1. Turn ignition switch “OFF”. (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)

4WD WARNING LAMP DOES NOT TURN ON

2. Check continuity between transfer control unit harness connec-

tor M166 terminal 38 and combination meter harness connector

M24 terminal 28.

Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

Is there continuity?

YES

>> GO TO 4.

NO

>> Repair or replace damaged parts.

4.

CHECK INDICATOR LAMP CIRCUIT

1. Turn ignition switch “OFF”. (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)

2. Connect combination meter harness connector.

3. Disconnect transfer control unit harness connector.

4. Turn ignition switch "ON". (Do not start engine.)

5. Ground the following terminal using suitable wiring.

-

Transfer control unit harness connector M166 terminal 38 and

ground.

Does the indicator lamp turn on?

YES

>> GO TO 5.

NO

>> Replace the combination meter. Refer to

MWI-96,

"Removal and Installation"

.

5.

SYMPTOM CHECK

Check again.
Does the symptom still occur?

YES

>> GO TO 6.

NO

>> Inspection End.

6.

CHECK TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT

Check transfer control unit input/output signal. Refer to

DLN-235, "Reference Value"

.

Are the inspection results normal?

YES

>> Inspection End.

NO

>> Check transfer control unit pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector.
