Inspection

1.Park the vehicle on level ground, and turn off theengine. Allow the oil a few minutes to drain backinto the oil pan so the dipstick will show the actuallevet,
Make certain that the oil level indicated on the dip-stick is between the upper and lower marks. Insertthe dipstick carefully to avoid bending it.
lf the level has dropped close to the lower mark,add oil until it reaches the upper mark.

Before testing, be sure the transmission fluid is
filled to the proPer level.
4WD:
Raise the vehicle (see section 11.
2WD:
Raise the front of the vehicle, and make sure it is
securely supported. Set the parking brake, and block
both rear wheels securely.
Allow all four wheels {4WD) or front wheels (2wD}
to rotate freely.
Warm up the engine (the radiator fan comes on),
then stop it and connect the tachometer.
Connect the oil pressure gauges to each inspection

Description
Hydraulic Flow (cont'dl
Reverse Driving at Constant Speed l2WD)when driving in reverse at a constant speed, the dual pump system functions in two wheel drive mode.The rotation speed of the front and rear wheels is the same, so the speed of the front and rear pumps is also the same,Fluid discharged by the front oil pump is drawn in by the rear oil pump and is circulated through the system. But, becausethe there is a difference in the capacity between the two pumps, fluid flows through check valve E, and then through ori-Iices. This fluid lubricates and cools the clutch assembly and bearings.ls this condition, only a low pressure is built up at the clutch piston. Therefore the clutch does not engage, and the vehicleremains in 2WD (front wheel drive).
Reverse Deceleration l/tWDl
During reverse deceleration, the dual pump system can engage four wheel drive.When decelerating in reverse direction, the speed of the rear wheels may exceed the speed of the front wheels (due toengine braking). In this condition, the rear oil pump draws fluid through check valves B and C. Fluid discharged from therear oil pump then flows through check valve E to the clutch piston. There, pressure is regulated by two orifices.The regulated hydraulic pressure at the clutch piston may force the plates and discs of the clutch together to form a con,nection. The engaged clutch passes driving force from the transfer assembly to the rear wheels, producing 4WD.

Clean the drain plug, then reinstall it with a new

mended fluid to the proper level.
NOTEr lf you disassembly the differential, check thefluid level again after the 4WD system check is fin-
ished. Add fluid if necessary.
