Description of Electrical PartsNBTF0067TRANSFER MOTORNBTF0067S011. The transfer motor drives the sub-oil pump to provide proper lubrication and oil pressure control when the
vehicle is at standstill, during low-speed operations or is being driven in reverse.
2. The main oil pump is operated by the driving force of the mainshaft. In other words, sufficient oil pressure
buildup does not occur when the vehicle is at standstill or during low-speed operations. While the vehicle
is being driven in reverse, the main oil pump rotates in the reverse direction. Therefore the main oil pump
does not discharge oil pressure. During any of the above vehicle operations, the transfer motor drives the
sub-oil pump to compensate for insufficient oil pressure.
3. The transfer motor operates as follows:
1) The motor relay turns OFF in the 2WD mode.
2) The motor relay operates as described in the table below in modes other than the 2WD mode.

4. 4WD shift switch, PNP switch, Neutral-4LO switch, vehicle speed sensor and throttle position sensor are
used in conjunction with the transfer motor.
WAIT DETECTION SWITCHNBTF0067S021. The wait detection switch releases the ªboomingº torque produced in the propeller shaft. After the release
of the ªboomingº torque, the wait detection switch helps provide the 4WD lock gear (clutch drum) shifts.
A difference may occur between the operation (ª4LOº to ª4Hº shift only) of the 4WD shift switch and actual
drive mode. At this point, the wait detection switch senses an actual drive mode.
2. The wait detection switch operates as follows:
4WD lock gear (clutch drum) locked: ON
4WD lock gear (clutch drum) released: OFF
3. The wait detection switch senses an actual drive mode and the 4WD shift indicator lamp indicates the
vehicle drive mode.

2-4WD SHIFT SOLENOID VALVENBTF0067S03The 2-4WD shift solenoid valve operates to apply oil pressure to the wet, multiplate clutch, depending on the
drive mode. The driving force is transmitted to the front wheels through the clutch so the vehicle is set in the
4WD mode. Setting the vehicle in the 2WD mode requires no pressure buildup. In other words, pressure force
applied to the wet, multiplate clutch becomes zero.
LINE PRESSURE SWITCHNBTF0067S041. With the transfer system design, control of the oil pressure provides the transmission of drive torque to
the front wheels. The main pressure to control the oil pressure is referred to as the line pressure.
The line pressure switch determines whether or not adequate line pressure has built up under different
operating conditions.
2. The line pressure switch turns ON when line pressure is produced.
3. The line pressure switch senses line pressure abnormalities and turns the 4WD warning lamp ON.

WORK SUPPORTNBTF0012S06PurposeNBTF0012S0601When there is no problem with transfer and 4WD system, follow-
ing symptoms in ªAUTOº mode may be claimed by a customer.
ITight corner braking symptom after accelerator (throttle) open-
ing (Note 1)
IVibration when accelerating on a low  road (snow-covered or
icy road) (Note 2)
It is possible to deal with these symptoms by changing
ªCLUTCH FORCE RELEASE LIMIT VALUEº. However, be
careful when changing the values because it may adversely
affect driving performance.
NOTE:
1) When the accelerator is slightly open (approx. 1/8) or fully
closed after being opened. The tight corner braking symptom
during idle creep driving with accelerator fully closed cannot be
