System DescriptionNBSC0009The alternator provides DC voltage to operate the vehicle's electrical system and to keep the battery charged.
The voltage output is controlled by the IC regulator.
Power is supplied at all times to alternator terminal S through:
I120A fusible link (lettera, located in the fuse and fusible link box), and
I7.5A fuse (No. 65, located in the fuse and fusible link box).
Terminal B supplies power to charge the battery and operate the vehicle's electrical system. Output voltage
is controlled by the IC regulator at terminal S detecting the input voltage. The charging circuit is protected by
the 120A fusible link.
Terminal E of the alternator supplies ground through body ground E101.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
Ithrough 10A fuse [No. 8, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
Ito combination meter terminal 12 for the charge warning lamp.
Ground is supplied to terminal 43 of the combination meter through terminal L of the alternator. With power
and ground supplied, the charge warning lamp will illuminate. When the alternator is providing sufficient volt-
age with the engine running, the ground is opened and the charge warning lamp will go off.
If the charge warning lamp illuminates with the engine running, a fault is indicated.GI

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.
