check 4wd ISUZU KB P190 2007 Workshop Owner's Manual

TRANSFER CONTROL SYSTEM 7D1-51
Trouble diagnosis based on the operation switch, transfer indicator lamp and operating
sound “Check 4WD” indicator ON (operation guard based on the transfer actuator
position detection error)
This condition indicates a faulty circuit related with the detection (limit) switches of the system actuator.
Detection (limit) switches detect the actuator operating angle based on their combinations.
The controller monitors transition of the actuator based on the combination of the detection (limit) switch output.
If the transition based on the combinations indicates some trouble, it is memorized, and shifting operation is
stopped when the trouble is counted 5 times, and the “Check 4W D” indicator lights up. At this time, the system
permits operation to 2H only.
W hen such a condition occurs, inspection of the transfer shift actuator, checking of the harness related with the
detection (limit) switch, and erasure of the memory of the controller is required.
(Refer to the memory erasure procedure for the erasure of the memory.)
At this time, the position indicator may flash at 4Hz. It means that a detection (limit) switch trouble wad detected
in the operation process shown by that position indicator (example: 4W D indicator when shifting from 2H to 4H).

Caution:
During trouble diagnosis and correction, do not turn ON the ignition with the harness connector of the
transfer actuator disconnected. (Do not disconnect the harness connector of the transfer actuator when
the ignition is ON.)
If the controller is connected during this condition, a limit SW trouble is judged and the above-described
“Check 4WD” condition occurs.
This can be reset by clearing the memory.
When disconnecting the harness connector of the actuator and turning the ignition ON is required, remove
the controller at the same time or remove the IG power fuse of the transfer controller.

Diagnosis from symptom
Check4WD lighting up
Step Action Yes No
1 Check what was done before the
trouble occurred.
W as the harness between the
transfer controller and actuator
disconnected with the ignition
kept ON for the purpose of
servicing the vehicle?
Or, was the ignition turned ON
(power supplied to the transfer
controller) with the harness of
the actuator removed? If the power is supplied with the
actuator not connected, a faulty
position detection switch is
considered.
Clear the memory and trace this
chart from the beginning. Go to step 2.
2
Is the ignition switch ON? Go to step 3.
Turn the ignition switch ON and
trace this chart from the
beginning.
3 Does the transfer-related
indicators (4W D, 4Lo, Check
4W D, neutral) light up for 2
seconds when the ignition switch
is turned ON? Go to step 4.
Indicator lamp burnt out.
Disconnected harness wire.
After repairing, trace this chart
from the beginning.
4 Has the harness between the
Check4W D indicator and
transfer controller GND shorted? GND (body) short of the indicator
harness.
After repairing, trace this chart
from the beginning. Go to step 5.
5
Check the continuity of harness
between the transfer controller
and transfer actuator. Check
the power short and GND short.
Check the GND harness of the
transfer actuator.
Is a trouble noticed? Repair the harness, clear the
memory and trace this chart from
the beginning. Go to step 6.
6
Check the limit switch of the
actuator.
Is a trouble noticed? Failed actuator. Replace the
actuator, clear the memory and
trace this chart from the
beginning. Clear the memory and trace this
chart from the beginning.
Failed controller.
Replace the controller, clear the
memory and trace this chart from
the beginning.
To check the operation after completing the repair and clearing the memory, shift between 2H and 4L at least 5
times.
To judge the condition more quickly, ask the customer what happens when the Check4W D lamp lights up.
W hen the position indicator blinks at a frequency of 4Hz immediately after trouble occurs, the position of failure
which the indicator shows may be limited.
(Since it indicates the situation immediately before detection of failure, whether the vehicle is running or at a
standstill, the possibility of failure around that point is high.)
Status of the transfer when the Check4W D lights up is not always the same. Immediately after failure occurs, 2H
can be operated.
