Diagnosis
General Information Diagnosis
The troubles on TOD are classified into the group that can
be identified by the lighting status of the TOD indicator
lamps and those that can be recognized as abnormal
phenomena of the vehicle by the driver.
The troubles that can be identified by the lighting status of
the TOD indicator lamps are examined by the procedures“Diagnosis from Trouble Codes” and “Trouble Diagnosis
Depending on The Status of TOD indicator”. The troubles
that can be recognized as abnormal phenomena of the
vehicle by the driver are examined by the procedure
“Diagnosis from symptom”.
Self-diagnosis
The control unit has a function of self-diagnosis. If a
trouble occurs in the course of system startup, the control
unit blinks the CHECK lamp and saves the trouble code.
C07RW021
NOTE: If an intermittent fault occurs, the control unit
stops blinking upon removal of the fault. The trouble code
is saved to the control unit.

4B2–15 DRIVE LINE CONTROL SYSTEM (TOD)
7. Slowly start the vehicle in the 4L mode, and
accelerate to at least 20 km/h. Apply the brake to
completely stop the vehicle.
If the CHECK lamp starts blinking during the test run, read
the trouble codes and give appropriate maintenance
according to the fault diagnostic procedure. If the TOD
indicator lamps are lit abnormally during the run, check
the lighting condition and give appropriate maintenance
according to the fault diagnostic procedure. Even if the
phenomena are not observed, try to reproduce the
abnormal state reported by the customer to the possible
extent.
Post-Repair Check
As long as the starter is not turned off, the TOD indicator
lamps continue blinking even after the failed control unit is
repaired. Therefore, upon completion of repair, be sure to
turn off the starter switch once and then turn on it to
conduct the test run sequence specified in steps 1
through 6 above and check that the TOD indicator lamps
no longer show any faulty status.

Checking Failed TOD Control Unit Pin
NOTE:
1. Unplug the ECU connector and the pins, unless
otherwise specified.2. Before removing the ECU, turn off the ignition switch.
3. If the standard values are not observed, check the
pins with other testers.

Trouble Diagnosis Depending on The
Status of TOD Indicator
Functional check with TOD indicator light is conducted
prior to check on Charts A–H.
After the starter is switched on, check and see if the
status has become as tabulated below.
C07RW012
If the status is as tabulated above, there is no
problem. If not as tabulated above, inspect the
harness.

Inspection and Repair
Make necessary correction or parts replacement if wear,
corrosion or any other abnormal conditions are found
through inspection.
Visual Check:
Check the following parts for wear, damage, noise or any
other abnormal conditions:
1. Axle shaft
2. Bearing
When checking the axle shaft, pay special attention to the
splined portions and replace the shaft if distortion or step
wear is noticeable. Correct slight step wear with a grinder.

TRANSFER CASE (STANDARD TYPE)
4D1–7
A/T, WO/Shift On The Fly, WO/4WD Switch, model
A07RW055
The transfer case is used to provide a means of providing
power flow to the front axle. The transfer case also
provides a means of disconnecting the front axle,
providing better fuel economy and quieter operation when
the vehicle is driven on improved roads where four wheel
drive is not required. In addition, the transfer case
provides an additional gear reduction when placed in low
range, which is useful when difficult off–road conditions
are encountered.
A floor mounted shift lever is used to select the high–low
range. When four wheel drive switch has been turned on,
the four wheel drive indicator light is designed to come on
when the front axle has been engaged.
