Service Notice or PrecautionINFOID:0000000001327425
 Do not reuse transfer fluid, once it has been drained.
 Check the fluid level or replace the fluid only with the vehicle parked on level ground.
 During removal or installation, keep inside of transfer clear of dust or dirt.
 Replace all tires at the same time. Always use tires of the proper size and the same brand and pattern. Fit-
ting improper size and unusual wear tires applies excessive force to vehicle mechanism and can cause lon-
gitudinal vibration.
 Disassembly should be done in a clean work area, it is preferable to work in dustproof area.
 Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the tr ansfer. It is important to prevent the internal
parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
 All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or
reassembly.
 Check for the correct installation status prior to remo val or disassembly. If matching marks are required, be
certain they do not interfere with t he function of the parts when applied.
 Check appearance of the disassembled parts for dam age, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them
with a new ones if necessary.
 Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time when the transfer is disassembled.
 In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If tight-
ening sequence is specified, use it.
 Observe the specified torque when assembling.
 Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow-dry them.
 Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
 Clean innerparts with lint-free cloth or towels. Do not use cotton work gloves and rags to prevent adhering
fibers.

DRAINING
1. Run the vehicle to warm up the transfer unit sufficiently.
2. Stop the engine, and remove the drain plug to drain the transferfluid.
3. Apply sealant to drain plug. Install drain plug on transfer and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to TF-40, "
Disassembly
and Assembly".
 Use Genuine Silicone RTV or equivalent. Refer to GI-44,
"Recommended Chemical Product and Sealant".
FILLING
1. Remove filler plug and add transfer fluid until fluid level reaches
the specified limit near filler plug mounting hole.
CAUTION:
Carefully fill the fluid. (Fil l up for approx. 3 minutes.)
2. Leave the vehicle for 3 minutes, and check the fluid level again.
3. Set a new gasket onto filler plug and install it on tr ansfer and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to TF-
40, "Disassembly and Assembly".
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.

System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001327432
DESCRIPTION
 Electronic control allows optimal distribution of torque to front/rear wheels to match road conditions.
 Makes possible stable driving, with no wheel sp in, on snowy roads or other slippery surfaces.
 On roads which do not require AWD, it contributes to improved fuel economy by driving in conditions close to
rear-wheel drive.
 Sensor inputs determine the vehicle's turning conditi on, and in response tight cornering/braking are con-
trolled by distributing optimum torque to front wheels.
NOTE:
 When driving, if there is a large difference between front and rear wheel speed which continues for a long
time, fluid temperature of drive system parts becom es too high and AWD warning lamp flashes rapidly.
(When AWD warning lamp flashes, vehicle changes to r ear-wheel drive conditions.) Also, optional distribu-
tion of torque sometimes becomes rigid before lamp flashes rapidly, but it is not malfunction.
 If AWD warning lamp is flashing rapidly, stop vehicle and allow it to idle for some time. Flashing will stop and AWD system will be restored.
 When driving, AWD warning lamp may flash slowly if ther e is a significant difference in diameter of the tires.
At this time, vehicle performance is not fully avail able and cautious driving is required. (Continues until
engine is turned OFF.)
 If the warning lamp flashes slowly during driving but remains OFF after engine is restarted, the system is
normal. If it again flashes slowly after driving for some time, vehicle must be inspected.
 When the difference of revolution speed between the front and rear wheel mode the shift occasionally
changes to direct 4-wheel driving conditions automatically. This is not malfunction.

AWD SYSTEM
1. AWD control unit supplies command current to electric controlled coupling (AWD solenoid).
2. 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. Main clutch transmits torque to front wheels according to pressing power.  Transmission torque to front wheels is determined accordingto command current.
AWD CONTROL UNIT
 Controls distribution of drive power between rear-wheel drive(0:100) and AWD (50:50) conditions according to signals from sen-
sors.
 Self-diagnosis can be done with CONSULT-III.
AWD WARNING LAMP
Turns ON when there is a malfunction in AWD system. It indicates that fail-safe mode is engaged and vehicle
change to rear-wheel drive or shifting driving force- AWD (Front-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.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Fail-Safe FunctionINFOID:0000000001327435
 If any malfunction occurs in AWD electrical system, and control unit detects the malfunction, AWD warning
lamp on combination meter turns ON to indicate system malfunction.
 When AWD warning lamp is ON, vehicle changes to rear-wheel drive or shifting driving force-AWD (Front-
wheels still have some driving torque).
How to Perform Trouble DiagnosisINFOID:0000000001327436
BASIC CONCEPT
 To perform trouble diagnosis, it is the most import ant to have understanding about vehicle systems (control
and mechanism) thoroughly.
 It is also important to clarify customer complaints before inspec-
tion.
First of all, reproduce symptoms, and understand them fully.
Ask customer about his/her complaints carefully. In some cases, it
will be necessary to check symptoms by driving vehicle with cus-
tomer.
CAUTION:
Customers are not professional. It is dangerous to make an
easy guess like “maybe the customer means that...,” or
“maybe the customer mentions this symptom”.
 It is essential to check symptoms right from the beginning in order to repair malfunctions completely.
For intermittent malfunctions, reproduce symptoms based on inter-
view with customer and past examples. Do not perform inspection
on ad hoc basis. Most intermittent malfunctions are caused by
poor contacts. In this case, it will be effective to shake suspected
harness or connector by hand. When repairing without any symp-
tom diagnosis, you cannot judge if malfunctions have actually been
eliminated.
 After completing diagnosis, always erase diagnostic memory. Refer to TF-21, "
CONSULT-III Function (ALL MODE AWD/4WD)".
 For intermittent malfunctions, move harness or harness connector by hand. Then check for poor contact or reproduced open circuit.

This symptom protects drivetrain parts when a heavy load is applied to the electric controlled coupling and
multiple disc clutch temperature increases. Also, opt ional distribution of torque sometimes becomes rigid
before lamp flashes rapidly. Both cases are not malfunction.
When this symptom occurs, stop vehicle and allow it to idle for some times. Flashing will stop and system will
