DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
1. CHECK LINE PRESSURE SWITCH SIGNAL
With CONSULT-II
1. Start engine.
2. Select “DATA MONITOR” mode for “ALL MODE AWD/4WD” with CONSULT-II.
3. Read out ON/OFF switching action of “LINE PRES SW” while
operating 4WD shift switch.
Without CONSULT-II
1. Start engine.
2. Check voltage between transfer control unit harness connector
terminals and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 5.
NG >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT AND LINE PRESSURE SWITCH
1. Turn ignition switch “OFF”. (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)
2. Disconnect transfer control unit harness connector and the transfer terminal cord assembly harness con-
nector.
3. Check continuity between transfer control unit harness connec-
tor E143 terminal 35 (BR/W) and transfer terminal cord assem-
bly harness connector F56 terminal 1 (BR/W).
Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Repair or replace damaged parts.
