Are the inspection results normal?
YES >> GO TO 7.
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK TRANSFER MOTOR RE
LAY POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF. (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)
2. Connect transfer control unit harness connector.
3. Disconnect transfer motor relay.
4. Check voltage between transfer motor relay harness connector terminals and ground.
5. Turn ignition switch ON. (Do not start engine.)
6. Check voltage between transfer motor relay harness connector terminals and ground.
Are the inspection results normal?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Check the following. If any items are damaged, repair or replace damaged parts.
• 20A fuse (No. 58 located in the fuse and relay box).
• 10A fuse (No. 26 located in the fuse and fusible link box).
• Harness for short or open between battery and transfer motor relay harness connector E154 ter- minal 5.
