REAR AXLE – On-vehicle Service 27-35
NOTE
(1) Hold the steering wheel in the neutral position.
(2) If the steering wheel is turned, it may happen that
the AYC system continues to operate (operation
sounds are heard from the torque transfer differential).
However, it does not mean a system failure. If such
a case is encountered, perform the following
operations with the steering wheel in the neutral
position to cancel the AYC function.

Disengage the clutch.

Set the transmission to neutral.

Stop the engine.
5. Operate the MUT-II (Item Nos.13 and 14) to activate
the torque transfer differential.
NOTE
(1) The forced activation (clutch operation mode) will be
automatically canceled after 1 minute operation.
It can also be canceled forcibly by operating the clear
key on the MUT-II.
(2) While this function is being disabled by the fail-safe
function, the forced activation of the torque transfer
differential can not be executed.
6. Operate the MUT-II to confirm that the several speeds
of the wheels are as shown below, using the Data List
(Item Nos.07 and 08).

The speed of left rear wheel is more than 2 km/h
higher than that of right rear wheel.

The speed of right rear wheel is more than 2 km/h
higher than that of left rear wheel.
NOTE
If the above requirements are not satisfied, the system
is probably failed. Check the hydraulic pressure.
HYDRAULIC PRESSURE CHECK
1. Lift up the vehicle.
2. Connect the MUT-II to the 16-pin diagnosis connector.
Caution
Before connecting or disconnecting the MUT-II,
always turn off the ignition switch.
3. Turn on the ignition switch.
4. Disconnect the joint between the hydraulic unit and the
hydraulic unit hose assembly. Connect the special tool
to the L port. To the R port, attach a blind plug or connect
the L port of the removed hydraulic unit hose assembly.
5. Operate the MUT-II (Item No.13) to activate the hydraulic
unit.
NOTE
(1) The forced activation (clutch left side operation check
mode) will be automatically canceled after 1 minute
operation.
It can also be canceled forcibly by operating the clear
key on the MUT-II.

(2) While this function is being disabled by the fail-safe
function, the forced activation of the hydraulic unit
can not be executed.
6. Check to ensure that the hydraulic pressure generated
by the hydraulic unit conforms to the standard value.
Standard value: 1.0 – 1.6 MPa
NOTE
During checking the hydraulic pressure, occasionally
replenish the oil reservoir with fluid so that it does not
become empty.
7. Check the hydraulic pressure of the clutch right side by
repeating the steps (4) through (6). At this time, however,
the special tool must be connected to the R port and
the blind plug or the R port of the removed hydraulic
unit hose assembly must be attached to the L port. Further,
the MUT-II must be operated in the forced activation mode
Item No. 14 (clutch right side operation check mode).
8. If the measured value exceeds the standard value, replace
the hydraulic unit.
9. Connect the hydraulic unit hose assembly to the hydraulic
unit and to the torque transfer differential and tighten
the flare nuts to the specified torque.
Specified torque: 34 Nm
10. Pour the specified fluid in the oil reservoir up to the MAX
mark. Then, bleed the system.
Specified fluid: Dia Queen ATF SP II or equivalent
Fluid amount used: Approx. 1

DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER OIL SEAL
REPLACEMENT
DIFFERENTIAL
1. Remove the drive shaft.
2. Remove the oil seal from the differential carrier.
3. Using the special tool, drive a new oil seal all the way
into position.
4. Coat the oil seal lips and the drive shaft surface in contact
with the oil seal with multi-purpose grease.
5. Replace the drive shaft circlip with a new one and mount
the drive shaft to the differential carrier.
6. Check for correct wheel alignment.
