DRAINING
CAUTION:
When draining oil, protect exhaust tube with cover.
1. Run the vehicle to warm up the transfer body sufficiently.
2. Stop engine, and remove drain plug to drain the transfer oil.
3. Apply recommended sealant to drain plug. Install drain plug on
transfer and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to TF-59,
"COMPONENTS" .
FILLING
1. Remove filler plug and add gear oil until oil level reaches the
specified limit near filler plug mounting hole.
CAUTION:
Carefully fill the oil. (Fill up for approx. 3 minutes)
2. Leave the vehicle for 3 minutes, and check the oil level again.
3. Apply recommended sealant to filler plug. Install filler plug on
transfer and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to TF-59, "
COMPONENTS" .
InspectionEDS001W3
OIL LEAKAGE AND OIL LEVEL
1. Check oil level from filler plug mounting hole as shown in the fig-
ure.
CAUTION:
Do not start engine while checking oil level.
2. Before installing filler plug, apply recommended sealant. Install
filler plug on transfer and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to
TF-59, "

ELECTRIC CONTROLLED COUPLING
Operation Principle
1. The 4WD control unit supplies command current to electric con-
trolled coupling (4WD solenoid).
2. The control clutch is engaged by electromagnet and torque is
detected in control clutch.
3. The cam operates in response to control clutch torque and
applies pressure to main clutch.
4. The main clutch transmits torque to front wheels according to
pressing power.

Transmission torque to the rear wheels is determined accord-
ing to command current.
4WD CONTROL UNIT

4WD controls distribution of drive power between front-wheel
drive (100:0) and 4WD (50:50) conditions according to signals
from sensors.

Self-diagnosis can be done with CONSULT-II.

ALL MODE 4X4 SYSTEM

4WD MODE SWITCH
AUTO Mode

Electronic control allows optimal distribution of torque to front/rear wheels to match road conditions.

4WD mode makes possible stable driving, with no wheel spin, on snowy roads or other slippery surfaces.

On roads which do not require 4WD, AUTO mode contributes to improved fuel economy by driving in con-
ditions close to front-wheel drive.

Sensor inputs determine the vehicle's turning condition, and tight cornering/braking are controlled by dis-
tributing optimum torque to rear wheels.
LOCK Mode

Front/rear wheel torque distribution is fixed, ensuring stable driving when climbing slopes.

Vehicle will switch automatically to AUTO mode if vehicle speed increases. If vehicle speed then
decreases, the vehicle automatically returns to direct 4-wheel driving conditions.

LOCK mode will change to AUTO mode automatically, when the vehicle speed exceeds approx. 30 km/h
(19 MPH). The LOCK indicator light keeps illuminating.
NOTE:
If there is a significant difference in pressure or wear between tires, full vehicle performance is not available.
LOCK mode may be prohibited, or speeds at which LOCK mode is enabled may be restricted detecting tire
conditions.
2WD Mode
Vehicle is in front-wheel drive.
NOTE:

If front wheels are slipping in 2WD mode, do not switch to AUTO or LOCK. This can cause difficulties for
the system.

Even if the 4WD mode switch is in 2WD mode, the 4WD control unit occasionally automatically change to
AUTO mode depending on the driving condition (For example; Depressing the acceleration firmly). This is
not malfunction. However, 4WD indicator lamp dose not illuminate.
4WD INDICATOR LAMP AND LOCK INDICATOR LAMP
The following is the indications of indicator lamp.
4WD WARNING LAMP
Turns ON when there is a malfunction in 4WD system. It indicates that the vehicle is in fail-safe mode and
change to front-wheel drive or shifting driving force-4WD (Rear-wheels still have some driving torque).
Also turns ON when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check. Turns OFF approximately for 1
seconds after the engine starts if system is normal.

COMPONENTS FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
CAN CommunicationEDS0027K
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN Communication UnitEDS002XA
Component parts Function
4WD control unit

Controls driving force distribution by signals from each sensor and switch from front wheel driving
mode (100:0) to 4WD mode (50:50).

2WD mode is available by fail-safe function if malfunction is detected in electrical system.
Wheel sensors Detects wheel speed.
4WD solenoid Controls electric controlled coupling by operation signal from 4WD control unit.
Electric controlled coupling Transmits driving force to rear final drive.
4WD mode switch Able to select from 2WD, AUTO or LOCK mode.
4WD warning lamp

Illuminates if malfunction is detected in electrical system of 4WD system.

There is 1 blink in 2 seconds if rotation difference of front wheels and rear wheels is large.

There are 2 blinks in 1 second if load is still applied to driving parts.
4WD indicator lamp Indicate operation with optimal distribution of torque to front/rear wheels.
LOCK indicator lamp Indicate that 4WD system is under direct 4-wheel driving mode.
