4WD SYSTEM : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006222224
 In AUTO mode, distribution of traction force is cont
rolled from 2WD status (0:100) to 4WD status (50:50)
according to signal from each sensor and switch.
 In accordance with fail-safe function, when system is malfunctioning, 4WD warning lamp on combination meter turns ON and 4WD control stops. For fail-safe function, refer to DLN-20, "
4WD SYSTEM : Fail-Safe".
 When a high load status continues for transfer assembly (transfer control actuator or transfer fluid), 4WD
control temporarily becomes 4H or 2WD status, according to protection function.
NOTE:
4WD system is not malfunctioning.

INSPECTION AFTER ASSEMBLY
Inspection for Leakage
The following are procedures for chec king fluid leakage, lubricant leakage. Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If any are less than the
required quantity, fill them to the specified level. Refer to MA-10, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
 Follow the procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
- Turn ignition switch to the “ON” position (with engi ne stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping,
check for fuel leakage at connection points.
- Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
 Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in guide may generate a
pounding noise during and just after the engine start. However, this does not indicate a malfunction. The
noise will stop after hydraulic pressure rises.
 Warm up engine thoroughly to check that there is no leak age of fuel, or any oil/fluids including engine oil and
engine coolant.
 Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.
 After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill them to the specified level, if necessary.

< PRECAUTION >
PRECAUTIONS
 Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tireblocks to the wheels to prevent t he vehicle from moving. After jack-
ing up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety stands at
the points designated for proper lifting before working on the vehi-
cle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.
 When removing a heavy component such as the engine or tran- saxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and drop
them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.
 Before starting repairs which do not require battery power: Turn off ignition switch.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
 If the battery terminals are disconnected, recorded memory of
radio and each control unit is erased.
 To prevent serious burns: Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
 Dispose of drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts in an appropriate manner.
 Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel spray
and possibly a fire.
 Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent prior to inspection or assembly.
 Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers,
cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new ones.
 Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.
 Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.
 Do not touch the terminals of electrical com ponents which use microcomputers (such as ECM).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.
 After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, atta ch a tag to indicate the proper connection.
 Use only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.
 Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.
 Use hand tools, power tools (disassembly only) and recommended special tools where specified for safe and efficient service repairs.
 When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems, check all affected lines for leakage.
