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.

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.

6C±3 ENGINE FUEL (6VE1 3.5L)
When working on the fuel system, there are several
things to keep in mind:

Any time the fuel system is being worked on,
disconnect the battery ground cable except for those
tests where battery voltage is required.

Always keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire
extinguisher near the work area.

Replace all pipes with the same pipe and fittings that
were removed.

Clean and inspect ªOº rings. Replace if required.

Always relieve the line pressure before servicing any
fuel system components.

Do not attempt repairs on the fuel system until you
have read the instructions and checked the pictures
relating to that repair.

Adhere to all Notices and Cautions.
All gasoline engines are designed to use only unleaded
gasoline. Unleaded gasoline must be used for proper
emission control system operation.
Its use will also minimize spark plug fouling and extend
engine oil life. Using leaded gasoline can damage the
emission control system and could result in loss of
emission warranty coverage.
The vapor pressure sensor and vent solenoid valve for
vapor pressure sensor are used to detect abnormalities in
the evaporative emission control system.
The PCM decides whether there is an abnormality in the
evaporative emission control system based on vapor
pressure sensor signal.Fuel Metering
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is in complete
control of this fuel delivery system during normal driving
conditions.
The intake manifold function, like that of a diesel, is used
only to let air into the engine. The fuel is injected by
separate injectors that are mounted over the intake
manifold.
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures
the changes in the intake manifold pressure which result
from engine load and speed changes, which the MAP
sensor converts to a voltage output.
This sensor generates the voltage to change
corresponding to the flow of the air drawn into the engine.
The changing voltage is transformed into an electric
signal and provided to the PCM.
With receipt of the signals sent from the MAP sensor,
Intake Air Temperature sensor and others, the PCM
determines an appropriate fuel injection pulse width
feeding such information to the fuel injector valves to
affect an appropriate air/fuel ratio.
The Multiport Fuel Injection system utilizes an injection
system where the injectors turn on at every crankshaft
revolution. The PCM controls the injector on time so that
the correct amount of fuel is metered depending on
driving conditions.
Two interchangeable ªOº rings are used on the injector
that must be replaced when the injectors are removed.
The fuel rail is attached to the top of the intake manifold
and supplies fuel to all the injectors.
Fuel is recirculated through the rail continually while the
engine is running. This removes air and vapors from the
fuel as well as keeping the fuel cool during hot weather
operation.
The fuel pressure control valve that is mounted on the fuel
rail maintains a pressure differential across the injectors
under all operating conditions. It is accomplished by
controlling the amount of fuel that is recirculated back to
the fuel tank based on engine demand.
See Section ªDriveability and Emissionº for more
information and diagnosis.

IGNITION SYSTEM (6VE1 3.5L)
General Description
Ignition is done by the electronic ignition (El) that directly
fires the spark plugs from ignition coils through spark plug
wires without using a distributor. The firing orders are
selected No.1, No.2, No.3, No.4, No.5, and No6.
Since the cylinder on exhaust stroke requires less energy
to fire its ignition plug, energy from the ignition coils can be
utilized to fire the mating cylinder on compression stroke.
After additional 360
rotation, respective cylinder strokes
are reversed.
The EI consists of six ignition coils,ignition control
module, crank position sensor, powertrain control module
(PCM) and other components.
The ignition coils are connected with the PCM by means
of a 80 pin connector.The ignition control module turns on/off the primary circuit
of ignition coils, and also it controls the ignition timing at
the engine speed below 538 rpm.
A notch in the timing disc on the crankshaft activates the
crank position sensor which then sends information such
as firing order and starting timing of each ignition coil to
the PCM.
Further, the El employs ignition control (IC) to control
similar to a distributor system.
By receiving signals such as crank position,engine
speed, water temperature and Manifold Absolute
Pressure (MAP), the PCM controls the ignition timing.
