TRANSFER FLUID CHECK
Check for leaks and fluid level. Refer to DLN-129, "Inspection".
PREPARATION FOR ROAD TEST
The purpose of the test is to determine overall performance of trans-
fer case and analyze causes of malfunctions.
When a malfunction is found in any part of transfer, perform the road
test to locate the malfunction area and repair the malfunction parts.
The road test consists of the following three parts.
1. CHECK BEFORE ENGINE IS STARTED
2. CHECK AT IDLE
3. CRUISE TEST
CHECK BEFORE ENGINE IS STARTED
1.CHECK 4WD SHIFT INDICATOR LAMP
1. Park vehicle on flat surface.
2. Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
3. Move A/T selector lever to P position.
4. Set 4WD shift switch to 2WD position.
5. Turn ignition switch to ON position. (Do not start engine.)
Does 4WD shift indicator lamp turn ON for approximately 1 second?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO DLN-103, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
2.CHECK 4WD WARNING LAMP
1. Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
2. Move A/T selector lever to P position.
3. Set 4WD shift switch to 2WD position.
4. Turn ignition switch to ON position. (Do not start engine.)
