CONSULT-II REFERENCE VALUE IN DATA MONITOR MODE
Data are reference value.
TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT TERMINALS AND REFERENCE VALUE
Data are reference value and are measured between each terminal and ground.
CAUTION:
When using a circuit tester to measure voltage for inspection, be sure not to extend forcibly any connector terminals.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
1. CHECK 4WD SHIFT SWITCH SYSTEM
Perform self-diagnosis. Refer to TF-50, "
Self-diagnostic Procedure" .
Is the "4WD MOD SW [P1814]" (with CONSULT-II) or "Flickering pattern: 16 (without CONSULT-II) detected?
YES >> Perform trouble diagnosis for 4WD shift switch. Refer to TF-62, "4WD Shift Switch" .
NO >> GO TO 2.

2. CHECK 2-4WD SHIFT SOLENOID SIGNAL
With CONSULT-II
1. Start engine.
2. Select “DATA MONITOR” mode for “ALL MODE AWD/4WD” with CONSULT-II.
3. Read out the value of “2-4WD SOL” and “2-4WD SOL MON”.
Without CONSULT-II
1. Start engine.
2. Check voltage between transfer control unit harness connector
terminal and ground.

3. CHECK 4WD SHIFT SWITCH SIGNAL
1. Turn ignition switch “ON”. (Do not start engine.)
2. Check voltage between transfer control unit harness connector
terminals and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> Check 4WD shift switch. Refer to TF-66, "
COMPONENT INSPECTION" .
4. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN 4WD SHIFT SWITCH AND TRANSFER TERMINAL CORD ASSEMBLY
1. Turn ignition switch “OFF”. (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)
2. Disconnect 4WD shift switch harness connector and transfer terminal cord assembly harness connector.
3. Check continuity between 4WD shift switch harness connector
M141 terminal 4 (G/R) and transfer terminal cord assembly har-
ness connector F56 terminal 5 (G/R).
Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 5.
NG >> Repair or replace damaged parts.
5. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT AND TRANSFER TERMINAL CORD
ASSEMBLY
1. Turn ignition switch “OFF”. (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)
2. Disconnect transfer control unit harness connector and transfer terminal cord assembly harness connec-
tor.
3. Check continuity between transfer control unit harness connec-
tor E142 terminal 1 (GR) and transfer terminal cord assembly
harness connector F56 terminal 4 (GR).
Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
