NOTE:
(1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) fluid (A/T, all mode 4WD transfer)/differential gear oil (exc.
LSD) at every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months, and change LSD gear oil every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months.
(2) Refer to ªTire rotationº under the ªGENERAL MAINTENANCEº heading earlier in this section.
(3) The propeller shaft should be re-greased after being immersed in water.
(4) If operating frequently in water, replace grease every 3,750 miles (6,000 km) or 3 months.
(5) Inspect the air bag system 10 years after the date of manufacture noted on the FMVSS certification label.
(6) Refer to SU-5, ªFront Suspension Partsº and SU-16, ªRear Suspension Partsº, AX-3, ªFront Axle Partsº and AX-18, ªRear Axle Partsº.

IBefore replacing Transfer control unit, perform Transfer
control unit input/output signal inspection and make sure
whether Transfer control unit functions properly or not.
(See page TF-55.)
Service NoticeNBTF00021) Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the all-mode 4WD transfer. It is
important to prevent the internal parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
2) Disassembly should be done in a clean work area.
3) Use lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common shop rags can leave fibers that could inter-
fere with the operation of the all-mode 4WD transfer.
4) Place disassembled parts in order for easier and proper assembly.
5) All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or
reassembly.
6) Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the all-mode 4WD transfer is disassembled.
7) It is very important to perform functional tests whenever they are indicated.
8) The valve body contains precision parts and requires extreme care when parts are removed and serviced.
Place removed parts in a parts rack in order to replace them in correct positions and sequences. Care will
also prevent springs and small parts from becoming scattered or lost.
9) Properly installed valves, sleeves, plugs, etc. will slide along bores in valve body under their own weight.
