CAUTION:

The spiral cable may snap due to steering operation if the
cable is not installed in the correct position.

With the steering linkage disconnected, the cable may snap
by turning the steering wheel beyond the limited number of
turns. The spiral cable can be turned counterclockwise
about 2.5 turns from the neutral position.

Note 1: When a malfunction occurs, it is only displayed and not stored in the memory.
Note 2: When the wait detection switch has been properly fixed, malfunction information is erased from the memory.
Note 3: If 4WD shift switch is left between 4H and 4LO for a while, this indication may be displayed.
(*1): If the malfunction is detected only while driving in reverse, check the continuity of “R” position on A/T PNP switch. When there is
nothing wrong with the electrical system, check the hydraulic system.
(*2): If a revolution sensor malfunction is detected at the same time, check the revolution sensor circuit first.
Note 4: When this malfunction is detected with the ABS warning lamp off, first check for disconnection or shorting in the harness
between the transfer control unit and the ABS control unit.
Note 5: When several systems including CAN communication system indicate malfunctions, perform diagnosis of the CAN communica-
tion first.Shift actuator abnormal
(SHIFT ACT)Transfer control device actuator motor is malfunctioning.
(Malfunctions are detected when actuator motor fails to
operate while shifting from “4H” to “4LO” or vice versa.) Refer to TF-77, "

dure" or TF-82, "Diagnostic Pro-
cedure" .

dure" , TF-80, "Diagnostic Proce-
dure"TF-82, "Diagnostic
