Main Switch
1) In each switch position, continuity should be present
between terminals No. 2 and 7 for switch illumination. See Fig. 8.
When switch is moved to Neutral position, continuity should be present
between terminals No. 1 and 4.
2) When switch is moved to ON position, continuity should be
present between terminals No. 4 and 5. Connect battery voltage to
terminal No. 5 and ground terminal No. 4.
3) Battery voltage should be present on terminal No. 1 when
main switch is moved to ON position. Replace main switch if it does
not test as specified.
PARK/NEUTRAL SWITCH TEST
Disconnect switch connector. Shift transmission into Neutral
position. Continuity should be present between terminals No. 5
(Black/Blue wire) and No. 6 (Blue/Black wire). See Fig. 7. If
continuity is not present, adjust park/neutral switch. If switch is
adjusted properly, replace switch.
VACUUM PUMP TEST
1) Disconnect vacuum pump connector A-105. Resistance should
be 50-60 ohms between terminals No. 1 and 2 and terminals No. 1 and 3.
See Fig. 6 . Ensure solenoid valve makes operating noise when battery
voltage is applied between terminals No. 1 and 2 and terminals No. 1

2) If solenoid valve does not operate, replace vacuum pump
assembly. Apply battery voltage and ground between terminals No. 1 and
4. Motor should operate. Replace vacuum pump if motor does not
operate.
VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR TEST
Remove speed sensor from transmission. Connect speed sensor,
resistor (3000-10,000 ohms) and battery. See Fig. 34. Using a

DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY (CONVENTIONAL)
Pre-Disassembly Inspection
1) Secure differential assembly in appropriate holder. Secure
drive pinion from turning. Mount dial indicator on case and check ring
gear backlash at 4 positions. See Fig. 6. Backlash should be .005-.
007" (.13-.18 mm).
2) Remount dial indicator and measure ring gear runout. See
Fig. 7 . On all models, runout should not exceed .002" (.05 mm).
Remount dial indicator and measure pinion gear backlash on models
without limited slip differential. See Fig. 8. Secure side gear from
turning with wedge. Backlash should be 0-.003" (0-.08 mm). Pinion gear\
backlash service limit is .008" (.20 mm).
3) Check gear tooth contact pattern between ring gear and
drive pinion gear. Apply Prussian Blue to both surfaces of ring gear
teeth. Insert brass rod between differential housing and carrier
assembly to provide resistance while turning drive pinion.
4) Turning resistance of drive pinion should be 28-33 INCH
lbs. (2.5-3.0 N.m). Rotate drive pinion until ring gear completes one
revolution. Reverse direction of rotation and return to original
starting point. Check wear pattern. See GEAR TOOTH CONTACT PATTERNS
article in GENERAL INFORMATION.
5) On Montero models with differential lock, connect air
supply hose with pressure gauge and regulator to actuator air pipe.
Apply 4 psi (.28 kg/cm
) of pressure. Using Adapter Shaft (MB990992),
turn side gear on one side of carrier assembly only. Locking mechanism
should engage. To disengage, release air pressure and turn side gear
1/4-1/2 turn.
6) With lock mechanism engaged, measure turning torque of
drive pinion. Turning torque should not be less than 36 ft. lbs. (50
N.m). With lock mechanism disengaged, turning torque should not be
more than 36 ft. lbs. (50 N.m).

20). If hoses are okay, go to next step.
14) Disconnect OFLV-to-EVAP canister hose at OFLV and EVAP
canister. Plug hose at OFLV end. Connect hand-held pressure/vacuum
pump to hose at EVAP canister end. Apply 0.9 psi. If pressure is not
maintained, replace hose. Go to step 20). If pressure is maintained,
go to next step.
15) Using scan tool, read Fuel Tank Differential Pressure
(FTDP) sensor (item 73). Connect hand-held pressure/vacuum pump to
OFLV. While monitoring scan tool, apply 0.42 psi. If scan tool reading
reaches 0.42 psi, go to next step. If reading does not reach 0.42 psi,
go to step 19).
16) Disconnect OFLV-to-EVAP canister hose at EVAP canister.
Connect hand-held pressure/vacuum pump to hose and apply 0.9 psi. If

17) Disconnect EVAP purge solenoid-to-EVAP canister hose at
EVAP canister. Connect hand-held pressure/vacuum pump to hose.
Disconnect intake manifold plenum-to-EVAP purge solenoid at intake
manifold plenum. Operate vacuum pump several times to apply vacuum. If
vacuum leaks, replace EVAP canister. Go to step 20). If vacuum does
not leak, repair clog in hose between EVAP canister and EVAP Purge
solenoid. Go to step 20).
18) Disconnect EVAP canister-to-OFLV hose at OFLV. If vacuum
does not leak, repair clog in hose between EVAP canister and OFLV. Go
to step 20). If vacuum leaks, check fuel tank filler tube assembly. If
fuel tank filler tube assembly is okay, repair clog in hose between
OFLV and fuel cut-off valve. Go to step 20).
19) Replace fuel tank filler tube and OFLV-to-fuel cut-off
valve hose. While monitoring scan tool, apply 0.42 psi with hand-held
pressure/vacuum pump. If scan tool reading does not reach 0.42 psi,
replace fuel tank. Go to next step.

that caused original complaint. Recheck for DTCs. If no DTCs are
displayed, test is complete.

severe weakness that we will look at later). If an injector has a
fault where it occasionally skips a pulse, the meter registers it and
the reading changes accordingly.
Let's go back to figuring out dwell/duty readings by using
injector on-time specification. This is not generally practical, but
we will cover it for completeness. You NEED to know three things:
* Injector mS on-time specification.
* Engine RPM when specification is valid.
* How many times the injectors fire per crankshaft revolution.
The first two are self-explanatory. The last one may require
some research into whether it is a bank-fire type that injects every
360
of crankshaft rotation, a bank-fire that injects every 720 , or
an SFI that injects every 720 . Many manufacturers do not release this
data so you may have to figure it out yourself with a frequency meter.
Here are the four complete steps to convert millisecond on-
time:
1) Determine the injector pulse width and RPM it was obtained
at. Let's say the specification is for one millisecond of on-time at a
hot idle of 600 RPM.
2) Determine injector firing method for the complete 4 stroke
cycle. Let's say this is a 360
bank-fired, meaning an injector fires
each and every crankshaft revolution.
3) Determine how many times the injector will fire at the
specified engine speed (600 RPM) in a fixed time period. We will use
100 milliseconds because it is easy to use.
Six hundred crankshaft Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) divided
by 60 seconds equals 10 revolutions per second.
Multiplying 10 times .100 yields one; the crankshaft turns
one time in 100 milliseconds. With exactly one crankshaft rotation in
100 milliseconds, we know that the injector fires exactly one time.
4) Determine the ratio of injector on-time vs. off-time in
the fixed time period, then figure duty cycle and/or dwell. The
injector fires one time for a total of one millisecond in any given
100 millisecond period.
One hundred minus one equals 99. We have a 99% duty cycle. If
we wanted to know the dwell (on 6 cylinder scale), multiple 99% times
.6; this equals 59.4
dwell.
Weaknesses of Dwell/Duty Meter
The weaknesses are significant. First, there is no one-to-one
correspondence to actual mS on-time. No manufacturer releases
dwell/duty data, and it is time-consuming to convert the mS on-time
readings. Besides, there can be a large degree of error because the
conversion forces you to assume that the injector(s) are always firing\
at the same rate for the same period of time. This can be a dangerous
assumption.
Second, all level of detail is lost in the averaging process.
This is the primary weakness. You cannot see the details you need to
make a confident diagnosis.
Here is one example. Imagine a vehicle that has a faulty
injector driver that occasionally skips an injector pulse. Every
skipped pulse means that that cylinder does not fire, thus unburned O2
gets pushed into the exhaust and passes the O2 sensor. The O2 sensor
indicates lean, so the computer fattens up the mixture to compensate
for the supposed "lean" condition.
A connected dwell/duty meter would see the fattened pulse
width but would also see the skipped pulses. It would tally both and
likely come back with a reading that indicated the "pulse width" was
within specification because the rich mixture and missing pulses
offset each other.
This situation is not a far-fetched scenario. Some early GM
