TRANSFER CASE (TOD)
General Description
A04R200003
The Torque-On-Demand (TOD) is an
electronically-controlled torque-split 4-wheel drive
system with the following features.
Shifting Between High and Low Ranges
The shifting mechanism consists of the cam and shaft rail
assembly, the high/low shift motor and the encoder. The
encoder is built-in to the motor.
The encoder senses high/low range shift motor rotation
position and sends this data to the TOD control unit.
Based on this data, the TOD control unit adjusts motor
rotation speed or stops the motor.
The shifting between the high and low ranges using the
TOD switch only is possible. The vehicle must be stopped
or nearly stopped (vehicle speed less than 2 km/h (1.2
mph) and engine speed less than 1,500 rpm), the
automatic transmission selector level must be in the
neutral (N) position, and the brakes must be applied.
Electronically-controlled Wet-type Multiple
Disc Clutch
The clutch automatically provides the optimum drive
power to the front wheels of the vehicle in response to
varying road surface conditions when the vehicle is
operated in the TOD mode. The delivered power ranges
from 0% to 100% of power train output. Superior
operational stability is maintained over a wide range of
operating conditions.
Front Output Drive
Front output drive is provided by a chain. This reduces the
loud noise associated with 4-wheel drive operation.
Oil Pump Lubrication
An oil pump is used to lubricate the transfer. This ensures
stable multiple-disc clutch operation and maintains the
lubricating oil at a constant temperature.

5A±10BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM
System Components
Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU), three Wheel
Speed Sensors, Warning Light, and G-sensor.
Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU)
The EHCU consists of ABS control circuits, fault detector,
and a fail-safe. The signal received from each sensor
activates the hydraulic unit accordingly and cancels the
ABS to return to normal braking if a malfunction occurs in
the ABS system.
The EHCU has a self-diagnosing function which can
indicate faulty circuits during diagnosis.
The EHCU is mounted on the engine compartment rear
right side. It consists of a Motor, Plunger Pump, Solenoid
Valves.
Solenoid Valves: Reduces or holds the caliper fluid
pressure for each front disc brake or both rear disc brakes
according to the signal sent from the EHCU.
Reservoir: Temporarily holds the brake fluid that returns
from the front and rear disc brake caliper so that pressure
of front disc brake caliper can be reduced smoothly.
Plunger Pump: Feeds the brake fluid held in the reservoir
to the master cylinder.
Motor: Drives the pump according to the signal from
EHCU.
Check Valve: Controls the brake fluid flow.
ABS Warning Light
821R200015Vehicles equipped with the Anti-lock Brake System have
an amber ªABSº warning light in the instrument panel.
The ªABSº warning light will illuminate if a malfunction in
the Anti-lock Brake System is detected by the Electronic
Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU).In case of an electronic
malfunction, the EHCU will turn ªONº the ªABSº warning
light and disable the Anti-lock braking function.
The ªABSº light will turn ªONº for approximately three
seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the ªONº
position.If the ªABSº light stays ªONº after the ignition switch is
turned to the ªONº position, or comes ªONº and stays
ªONº while driving, the Anti-lock Brake System should be
inspected for a malfunction according to the diagnosis
procedure.
Wheel Speed Sensor
It consists of a sensor and a rotor. The sensor is attached
to the knuckle on the front wheels and to the rear axle
case on the rear differential.
The front sensor rotor is attached to the each brake rotor
by bolts.
The rear rotor is press-fit in the differential case.
The magnetic flux generated from electrodes magnetized
by a magnet in the sensor varies due to rotation of the
rotor, and the electromagnetic induction generates
alternating voltage in the coil. This voltage draws a ªsine
curveº with the frequency proportional to rotor speed and
it allows detection of wheel speed.
G-Sensor
The G-sensor installed inside the EHCU detects the
vehicle deceleration speed and sends a signal to the
EHCU. In 4WD operation, all four wheels may be
decelerated in almost the same phase, since all wheels
are connected mechanically.
This tendency is noticeable particularly on roads with low
friction coefficient, and the ABS control is adversely
affected.
The G-sensor judges whether the friction coefficient of
road surface is low or high, and changes the EHCU's
operating system to ensure ABS control.
Normal and Anti-lock Braking
Under normal driving conditions, the Anti-lock Brake
System functions the same as a standard power assisted
brake system. However, with the detection of wheel
lock-up, a slight bump or kick-back will be felt in the brake
pedal. This pedal ªbumpº will be followed by a series of
short pedal pulsations which occurs in rapid succession.
The brake pedal pulsation will continue until there is no
longer a need for the anti-lock function or until the vehicle
is stopped. A slight ticking or popping noise may be heard
during brake applications when the Anti-lock features is
being used.
When the Anti-lock feature is being used, the brake pedal
may rise even as the brakes are being applied. This is
also normal. Maintaining a constant force on the pedal
will provide the shortest stopping distance.
Brake Pedal Travel
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-lock Brake System may
be stopped by applying normal force to the brake pedal.
Although there is no need to push the pedal beyond the
point where it stops or holds the vehicle, by applying more
force the pedal will continue to travel toward the floor.
This extra brake pedal travel is normal.

General Diagnosis
General Information
ABS troubles can be classified into two types, those
which can be detected by the ABS warning light and those
which can be detected as a vehicle abnormality by the
driver.
In either case, locate the fault in accordance with the
ªBASIC DIAGNOSTIC FLOWCHARTº and repair.
Please refer to
Section 5C for the diagnosis of
mechanical troubles such as brake noise, brake judder
(brake pedal or vehicle vibration felt when braking),
uneven braking, and parking brake trouble.
ABS Service Precautions
Required Tools and Items:

Box Wrench

Brake Fluid

Special ToolSome diagnosis procedures in this section require the
installation of a special tool.
J-39200 High Impedance Multimeter
When circuit measurements are requested, use a circuit
tester with high impedance.
Computer System Service Precautions
The Anti-lock Brake System interfaces directly with the
Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) which is a
control computer that is similar in some regards to the
Powertrain Control Module. These modules are designed
to withstand normal current draws associated with
vehicle operation. However, care must be taken to avoid
overloading any of the EHCU circuits. In testing for opens
or shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to any of the
circuits unless instructed to do so by the appropriate
diagnostic procedure. These circuits should only be
tested with a high impedance multimeter (J-39200) or
special tools as described in this section. Power should
never be removed or applied to any control module with
the ignition in the ªONº position.
Before removing or connecting battery cables, fuses or
connectors, always turn the ignition switch to the ªOFFº
position.
General Service Precautions
The following are general precautions which should be
observed when servicing and diagnosing the Anti-lock
Brake System and/or other vehicle systems. Failure to
observe these precautions may result in Anti-lock Brake
System damage.

If welding work is to be performed on the vehicle using
an electric arc welder, the EHCU and valve block
connectors should be disconnected before the
welding operation begins.

The EHCU and valve block connectors should never
be connected or disconnected with the ignition ªONº .

If only the rear wheels are rotated using jacks or drum
tester, the system will diagnose a speed sensor
malfunction and the ªABSº warning light will
illuminate. But actually no trouble exists. After
inspection stop the engine once and re-start it, then
make sure that the ªABSº warning light does not
illuminate.
If the battery has been discharged
The engine may stall if the battery has been completely
discharged and the engine is started via jumper cables.
This is because the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
requires a large quantity of electricity. In this case, wait
until the battery is recharged, or set the ABS to a
non-operative state by removing the fuse for the ABS
(50A). After the battery has been recharged, stop the
engine and install the ABS fuse. Start the engine again,
and confirm that the ABS warning light does not light.
Note on Intermittents
As with virtually any electronic system, it is difficult to
identify an intermittent failure. In such a case duplicating
the system malfunction during a test drive or a good
description of vehicle behavior from the customer may be
helpful in locating a ªmost likelyº failed component or

5A±12BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM
circuit. The symptom diagnosis chart may also be useful
in isolating the failure. Most intermittent problems are
caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. When
an intermittent failure is encountered, check suspected
circuits for damage:

Suspected harness damage.

Poor mating of connector halves or terminals not fully
seated in the connector body (backed out).

Improperly formed or damaged terminals.
Test Driving ABS Complaint Vehicles
In case of an intermittent ABS lamp illumination, see
ªDiagnosis by ABS Warning Light illumination Patternº or
go to 5A±37. In some cases, the vehicle may need to be
test driven by following the test procedure below.
1. Start the engine and make sure that the ªABSº W/L
goes OFF. If the W/L remains ON, it means that the
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is stored. Therefore,
read the code and locate the fault.
NOTE: The DTC cannot be cleared if the vehicle speed
does not exceed 12 km/h (8 mph) at DTC, even though
the repair operation is completed.
2. Start the vehicle and accelerate to about 30 km/h (19
mph) or more.
3. Slowly brake and stop the vehicle completely.
4. Then restart the vehicle and accelerate to about 40
km/h (25 mph) or more.
5. Brake at a time so as to actuate the ABS and stop the
vehicle.
6. Be cautious of abnormality during the test. If the W/L
is actuated while driving, read the DTC and locate the
fault.
7. If the abnormality is not reproduced by the test, make
best efforts to reproduce the situation reported by the
customer.
8. If the abnormality has been detected, repair in
accordance with the ªSYMPTOM DIAGNOSISº .
NOTE:

Be sure to give a test drive on a wide, even road with a
small traffic.

If an abnormality is detected, be sure to suspend the
test and start trouble diagnosis at once.
ªABSº Warning Light
When ABS trouble occurs to actuate ªABSº warning light,
the trouble code corresponding to the trouble is stored in
the EHCU. Only ordinary brake is available with ABS
being unactuated. Even when ªABSº warning light is
actuated, if the starter switch is set ON after setting it OFF
once, the EHCU checks up on the entire system and, if
there is no abnormality, judges ABS to work currently and
the warning light is lit normally even though the trouble
code is stored.
NOTE: Illumination of the ªABSº warning light indicates
that anti-lock braking is no longer available. Power
assisted braking without anti-lock control is still available.
Normal Operation
ªABSº Warning Light
When the ignition is first moved from ªOFFº to ªRUNº , the
amber ªABSº warning light will turn ªONº . The ªABSº
warning light will turn ªONº during engine starting and will
usually stay ªONº for approximately three seconds after
the ignition switch is returned to the ªONº position. The
warning light should remain ªOFFº at all other times.

BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM
ACTUATOR TEST
This mode is used to exercise the ABS actuators and
make sure they operate normally. Prior to the test, pay
attention to the cautions below. (When checking the
solenoid valve system, be sure to jack up the vehicle.)
CAUTION:

Before testing, be sure that the brakes work normally.

Make sure that the battery is fully charged.Conduct
the test by two persons (A TECH 2 operator and a
vehicle checker).

Be sure to start ACTUATOR TEST with the engine
stopped.

Before testing, make sure that electrical trouble, if
any, has been completely repaired. Conducting tests
of ABS solenoid with electrical circuit problem
remaining uncorrected could damage the control unit.

POWER±ASSISTED BRAKE SYSTEM
Diagnosis
Road Testing The Brakes
Brake Test
Brakes should be tested on a dry, clean, reasonably
smooth and level roadway. A true test of brake
performance cannot be made if the roadway is wet,
greasy or covered with loose dirt where all tires do not grip
the road equally. Testing will also be adversely affected if
the roadway is crowned so as to throw the weight of the
vehicle toward wheels on one side or if the roadway is so
rough that wheels tend to bounce. Test the brakes at
different vehicle speeds with both light and heavy pedal
pressure; however, avoid locking the wheels and sliding
the tires. Braking without locking the tires will stop the
vehicle in less distance than braking to a skid (which has
no brake efficiency). More tire to road friction is present
while braking without locking the tires than braking to a
skid.
The standard brake system is designed and balanced to
avoid locking the wheels except at very high deceleration
levels.
It is designed this way because the shortest stopping
distance and best control is achieved without brake
lock±up.
Because of high deceleration capability, a firmer pedal
may be felt at higher deceleration levels.
External Conditions That Affect Brake Performance
1. Tires: Tires having unequal contact and grip on the
road will cause unequal braking. Tires must be
equally inflated, identical in size, and the thread
pattern of right and left tires must be approximately
equal.
2. Vehicle Loading: A heavily loaded vehicle requires
more braking effort.
3. Wheel Alignment: Misalignment of the wheels,
particularly in regard to excessive camber and caster,
will cause the brakes to pull to one side.
Brake Fluid Leaks
With engine running at idle and the transmission in
ªNeutralº, depress the brake pedal and hold a constant
foot pressure on the pedal. If pedal gradually falls away
with the constant pressure, the hydraulic system may be
leaking.
Check the master cylinder fluid level. While a slight drop in
the reservoir level will result from normal lining wear, an
abnormally low level in reservoir indicates a leak in the
system. The hydraulic system may be leaking internally
as well as externally. Refer to
Master Cylinder Inspection.
Also, the system may appear to pass this test but still
have slight leakage. If fluid level is normal, check the
vacuum booster push rod length. If an incorrect length
push rod is found, adjust or replace the push rod. Check
the brake pedal travel and the parking brake adjustment.
When checking the fluid level, the master cylinder fluid
level may be lower than the ªMAXº mark if the front and
rear linings are worn. This is normal.
Warning Light Operation
When the ignition switch is in the START position, the
ªBRAKEº warning light should turn on and go off when the
ignition switch returns to the ON position.
The following conditions will activate the ªBRAKEº light:
1. Parking brake applied. The light should be on
whenever the parking brake is applied and the ignition
switch is on.
2. Low fluid level. A low fluid level in the master cylinder
will turn the ªBRAKEº light on.
3. During engine cranking the ªBRAKEº light should
remain on. This notifies the driver that the warning
circuit is operating properly.
