system consists of PCV valve, oil separator, breather and ventilation
hoses.
PCV valve is a one-way check valve, located in valve cover.
When engine is running, manifold vacuum pulls PCV valve open, allowing
crankcase fumes to enter intake manifold. If engine backfires through
intake manifold, PCV valve closes to prevent crankcase combustion.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
Self-diagnostic system monitors input and output signals. On
all models, codes can be read using analog voltmeter. On some models,
scan tool can be used to read codes. For additional information, see G
- TESTS W/ CODES article.
CHECK ENGINE Light
Also called Malfunction Indicator Light by manufacturer,
comes on when ignition is turned on. Light remains on for several
seconds after engine has started. If an abnormal input signal occurs,
light comes on and code is stored in memory. If an abnormal input
signal returns to normal, ECU turns light off but code remains stored
in memory until cleared. If ignition is turned on again, light will
not come on until ECU detects malfunction during system operation.
NOTE: ECU diagnostic memory is retained by direct power supply
from the battery. Memory is not erased by turning off
ignition but is erased if battery or ECU is disconnected.

NOTE: With switch removed, check continuity between switch
connector terminal and switch body. With switch installed,
check continuity between switch connector terminal and
transfer case.
4WD Indicator Light Switch (RAM-50)
With switch removed, check continuity between connector
terminal and switch body. With switch end pressed, there should be no
continuity. With switch end released, there should be continuity.
Center Differential Lock Operation Detection Switch (Montero)
Check continuity between terminals at Brown wire connector
terminal on top of transfer case. With transfer control lever in "4H"
position, there should be no continuity. With transfer control lever
in "4HLc" position, there should be continuity. See Fig. 2.
4WD Operation Detection Switch (Montero)
Check continuity between terminals at Black wire connector
terminal on top of transfer case. With transfer control lever in "2H"
position, there should be no continuity. With transfer control lever
in "4H" position, there should be continuity. See Fig. 2.
Center Differential Lock Detection Switch (Montero)
Check continuity between terminals at Brown wire connector
terminal on side of transfer case. With transfer control lever in "4H"
position, there should be no continuity. With transfer control lever
in "4HLc" position, there should be continuity. See Fig. 2.
2WD-4WD Detection Switch (Montero)
Check continuity between terminals at Black wire connector
terminal on side of transfer case. With transfer control lever in "4H"
position, there should be no continuity. With transfer control lever
in "2H" position, there should be continuity. See Fig. 2.
HI/LO Detection Switch (Montero)
Check continuity between terminals at White wire connector
terminal on side of transfer case. With transfer control lever in "N"
(between "4HLc" and "4LLc") position, there should be no continuity.
With transfer control lever in "4HLc" position, there should be
continuity. With transfer control lever in "4LLc" position, there
should be continuity. See Fig. 2.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
Removal
1) Remove negative battery cable. Remove transfer case skid
plate (if equipped). Scribe alignment marks and remove both drive
shafts. Drain oil from transfer case. Disconnect wiring harness from
back-up light switch, all 4WD switches and any other electrical
connectors (if equipped).
2) Disconnect speedometer cable from drive. Unclip cable from
case. Place transfer case shifter in "2H" position and transmission in
Neutral. Remove 6 bolts holding control lever assembly. Remove control
lever assembly and gasket.
3) Remove select plunger bore plug at right side of case.
Remove select spring and plunger. Remove change shifter spring pin.
Remove change shifter. Remove transfer case mount. Remove 4 bolts and
2 nuts holding transfer case to adapter. Remove transfer case from
vehicle.

1) Install input gear and front output shaft oil seals into
transfer case housing. Pack grease between lips of seals and press
seal circumference uniformly.
2) Install input gear assembly in transfer case. See Figs. 3
and 6. Input gear assembly snap ring is available in selective
thicknesses. Use thickest snap ring that will fit into input shaft
groove. Allowed snap ring clearance is 0-.0024" (0-.060 mm).
3) Insert needle bearing onto rear output shaft assembly.
Install high-low synchronizer sleeve and shift fork. Install 2WD-4WD
shift fork. Engage chain securely on front and rear output shaft
sprockets. Assemble 2WD-4WD synchronizer sleeve with 2WD-4WD shift
fork. Install assembly over 2WD-4WD shift rail. Install front and rear
output shafts with chain as an assembly.
4) Install 2WD-4WD shift lug, distance piece, 2WD-4WD shift
rail and spring pin. Ensure slit in spring pin is in line with 2WD-4WD
shift rail. Install 2 spring retainers with spring on 2WD-4WD shift
rail. Install snap ring to end of 2WD-4WD shift rail. See Fig. 3.
5) Insert 2 needle bearings and spacer into countergear.
Install one thrust washer at each end of countergear. Ensure tab on
thrust washers fits into groove of transfer case. Install countergear
shaft assembly with "O" ring.
6) Install side cover and gasket. Install oil guide. Apply
sealant to both sides of gasket and install gasket and chain cover.
Ensure oil guide end fits into chain cover opening. Fit snap ring into
groove of rear bearing on rear output shaft. Tighten bolts to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
7) Install interlock plunger. Shift 2WD-4WD shift rail to 4WD
position. Install high-low shift rail through high-low shift fork in
case. Install 2 poppet balls and springs. Install seal plugs. When
installing poppet springs, smaller end must be toward ball.
8) On models with pulse generator, install pulse rotor, wave
spring and spacer. Measure protrusion "A" of front output shaft rear
bearing and recess "B" of cover and calculate clearance. See Fig. 9.
If clearance is greater than .079" (2.0 mm), select and install spacer\
to bring clearance within specification. If clearance is less than .
079" (2.0 mm), use wave spring alone. Apply sealant to both sides of
gasket and install gasket and cover. Install pulse generator (if
equipped).
9) On all models, align high-low shift fork and shift rail
spring holes and drive in roll pin with punch. Roll pin should be
installed with slit on center line of shift rail. Install wave spring
on rear of rear output shaft bearing. Apply sealant to both sides of
rear cover gasket. Install gasket and cover.
10) Check output shaft end play. Measure protrusion "A" of
rear output shaft rear bearing and recess "B" of cover and calculate
clearance. Ensure end play is 0-.004" (0-.10 mm). Apply sealant to
both sides of gasket and install gasket and cover. See Fig. 9.
11) Install speedometer sleeve assembly in rear cover. Align
match mark on speedometer sleeve assembly in rear cover. See Fig. 10.
Align match mark on speedometer sleeve with mark on case according to
number of teeth on speedometer driven gear. Install speedometer driven
gear sleeve clamp and tighten bolt to specification. Install both 4WD
indicator light switches with steel balls. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
