TRANSFER CASE 7D-21

Oil Pump


Remove foreign materials from the strainer. If the
strainer is damaged, replace it.
If the area into which the shaft is inserted is excessively
worn or damaged, replace the oil pump assembly.

Clutch Hub Spline Play


Set a dial indicator to the clutch hub to be measured.


Move the clutch hub as far as possible to both the
right and the left.

Note the dial indicator reading.


If the measured value exceeds the specified limit,
the clutch hub must be replaced.

Bearings
1.
Inspect the condition of all the needles and ball
bearings. Wash bearings thoroughly in a cleaning
solvent. Apply compressed air to the bearings.
NOTE: Do not allow the bearings to spin. Turn them
slowly by hand. Spinning bearings may damage the
rollers.
2.
Lubricate the bearings with a light oil and check them
for roughness by slowly turning the race by hand.




Ball Bearing Play
1.
Use a dial indicator to measure the ball bearing play.
2.
If the measured value exceeds the specified limit, the
ball bearing must be replaced.
Limit : 0.2 mm (0.008 in)


226R3043

Synchronizers
The synchronizer hubs and sliding sleeves are a
selected assembly and should be kept together as
originally assembled.
Clean synchronizer components with clean solvent and
air dry.
Inspect the components for the following:


Teeth for wear, scuffs, nicks, burrs or breaks.


Keys and springs for wear, cracks or distortion,
replace if these conditions are present.


If scuffed, nicked or burred conditions cannot be
corrected with a soft stone or crocus cloth, replace
the component.

TRANSFER CONTROL SYSTEM 7D1-35
3.
Shifting from 4H to 4L
3-1 When the 4L indicator flashes at 2Hz
When shifting from 4H to 4L, the 4L indicator continues flashing at 2Hz until shifting in the transfer case is
completed. The phases of the engaged splines may sometimes deviated preventing completion of shifting.
By correcting the deviation of phases, shifting is completed.

Step 3-1:
(In case of AT): Set the select bar of the transmission to the D position.
(In case of MT): Set the lever of the transmission to a position allowing running and engage the clutch
gently.
At this time, some rotating force acts on the engaged splines, phase is corrected and the engagement is
completed.

3-2 When the 4L indicator flashes at 2Hz for 10 seconds and then keeps ON again (AT vehicle)
This condition occurs when torsional torque has been generated between the transmission and road surface
and the transfer standby mechanism cannot absorb it completely.

Step 3-2:
Set the select lever of the transmission to the N position. (Stepping on the brake pedal is effective at
this time.)

3-3 When the 4L indicator flashes at a frequency of 4Hz
Shifting from 4H to 4L is restricted.
When the vehicle is running, the transmission lever is at the running range and the engine speed is high (L4:
3000rpm or more V6: 2000rpm), the transfer cannot be shifted from 4H to 4L (restriction on operation).

Restriction on operation (Except 4JA1-LT)
The 4H, neutral and 4L shifting mechanism has no synchronization function. Therefore, if relative rotations in the
mechanism become excessive, shifting exerts adverse influence on the internal mechanism of the transfer. To
avoid such a trouble, vehicle condition is detected to restrict the operation (vehicle speed, engine speed and TM
position).
Requirement to restrict the speed: Vehicle should be in stop.
For the reason of the detection logic, time to wait for start of operation may be required.
A/T: If the vehicle is in stop for a long time at the TM running range (D, 1, 2) before operating the AT, waiting
time becomes longer (from 1 second to 3 minutes at the maximum).
M/T: If the vehicle is at stop with the clutch stepped on at the T/M running position (1 – R), the time to wait
becomes longer.
Waiting time means the time commencing from when other requirements (engine speed and T/M position) are
met to permission of the speed restriction. Operation during the waiting time is not permissible.
The waiting time is 1 second at the minimum and increases up to 5 seconds if the above condition continues 3
minutes. After that, the waiting time increases up to 3 minutes in 2 minutes.
When it is clear that the above condition has continued and reduction of waiting time is desirable, turn on or off
the ignition or start and stop the vehicle several meters.
Requirements for permission of restriction on engine speed: Engine speed should be decreased.
The engine speed of 3000rpm (V6: 2000rpm) or below is advisable.
Requirements for permission of restriction on T/M position restriction:
(AT) N range is recommendable
(MT) should be at the neutral.

These requirements for permission should be all met before the switch is operated. If the requirements are met
after operation, operation is not automatically effected but re-operation is required after permission is given.

7D1-36 TRANSFER CONTROL SYSTEM
Restriction on operation (4JA1-LT)
The 4H, neutral and 4L shifting mechanism has no synchronization function. Therefore, if relative rotations in the
mechanism become excessive, shifting exerts adverse influence on the internal mechanism of the transfer. To
avoid such a trouble, vehicle condition is detected to restrict the operation (vehicle speed, and TM position).
Requirement to restrict the speed: Vehicle should be in stop.
Requirements for permission of restriction on engine speed: Engine speed should be decreased.
The engine speed of 3000rpm (V6: 2000rpm) or below is advisable.
Requirements for permission of restriction on T/M position restriction:
should be at the neutral.

These requirements for permission should be all met before the switch is operated. If the requirements are met
after operation, operation is not automatically effected but re-operation is required after permission is given.

Note: Don’t’ accelerate engine speed a the time of this operation.

Step 3-3:
Stop the vehicle. (Close the accelerator and decrease the engine speed to below L4: 3000rpm, V6:
2000rpm.)
(In case of AT): Set the transmission select lever to the N position.
(In case of MT): Set the transmission lever to the neutral position. (Stepping on the clutch is
recommendable.) Push the 4L button.
If shifting operation is not completed (the lamp flashes at 2Hz), perform the step 3-1.

4. Shifting from 4L to 4H
4-1 When 4L indicator continues flashing at 2HZ
When shifting from 4L to 4H, the 4L indicator continues flashing at 2Hz until the shifting in the transfer case is
completed. Phases of engaged splines may deviate and the operation may not completed in some cases.
Shifting is completed by correcting the deviation of the splines.

Step 4-1: (same as step 3-1)
(In case of AT): Set the transmission select lever to the D position.
(In case of MT): Shift the transmission lever to a position allowing running and engage the clutch
gently.

4-2 When the indicator continues flashing at 2Hz for 10 seconds and then keeps on at 4L again (AT
vehicle)
This condition occurs when torsional torque has generated between the transmission and the road surface
(use of the parking position on a slope) and resistance against the separation of the driving force cannot be
fully by the waiting mechanism of the transfer.
Shifting is possible by using the brake also at the neutral position of the transmission

Step 4-2: (Same procedure
as the step 3-2)
Set the transmission select lever to the N position.
(Leaving the brake lever and stepping it again is recommendable.)

4-3 When the 4L indicator flashes at 4HZ
Shifting from 4L to 4H is restricted.
When the vehicle is running, transmission lever is at the running range, and the engine speed is high, the
transfer 4L cannot be shifted to 4H.
