4B2–3 DRIVE LINE CONTROL SYSTEM (TOD)
detects the slip condition, determines the optimum torque
based  on  the  feedback  control  logic,  and  increases  the
torque to the front wheels.
The control unit uses the signal from the throttle position
sensor  to  predict  the  future  vehicle  condition  and  the
intention  of  the  driver  with  respect  to  acceleration  and
deceleration, and determines the initial torque distribution
using  these  data  and  the  information  from  the  speed
sensors.
In  case  of  small  circle  turning  in  the  parking  lot,  for
example,  the  control  unit  minimizes  the  clutch  pressing
force  restrict  a  braking  phenomenon.    When  the  ABS
becomes  active,  the  control  unit  optimizes  the  clutch
pressing force to ensure stable braking.
TOD Indicator Control
The  TOD  indicator  on  the  instrument  panel  informs  the
driver  of  the  current  working status  of  the  transfer  unit.
The  information  consists  of  two  items:  the  drive  mode
(2H, TOD, 4L, transition) and the torque split status of the
TOD (torque distribution level).  The indicator can display
occasional errors and corresponding error codes.

Simplified checking method of ABS IN and BRAKE ON signals:
In the event that any of the signal inputs listed below are
observed  while  the  self-diagnostic  code  is  being
displayed (the self-diagnostic connector is short-circuited
to GND), you can simply check the ABS IN and BRAKE
ON signals as shown in the figures below.

Check Lamp
Check Lamp Valve Check
When the starter switch is turned on in the normal state,
the  control  unit  turns  on  the  CHECK  lamp  to  check  the
bulb.

4B2–11 DRIVE LINE CONTROL SYSTEM (TOD)
The CHECK lamp also has the following functions.
D-G  MAP  recognition  and  display  (The  control  unit
displays  what  type  of  vehicle,  diesel  or  gasoline
vehicle, it recognizes.)
1. Short-circuit the self-diagnostic connector.
2. Turn on the starter switch. (Displays  with respect to
the self-diagnosis begin to appear.)
NOTE: Do not start the engine.
3. Shift the transfer lever to the neutral position between
HIGH and 4L.
4. After all the conditions in 1 through 3 above are met,
set  the  throttle  to  the  WOT  (wide  open  throttle)
position (i.e.,  full open position).   The  display  of  the
self-diagnosis  is  temporarily  suspended,  and  the
CHECK lamp begins to display that MAP is
recognized  by  the  TPS  (throttle  position  sensor)
according to the current conditions.NOTE: If the TPS has failed, this function might not work.
1. When  the  control  unit  recognizes  the  vehicle  as
gasoline type, the CHECK lamp is turned on for five
seconds and this mode is repeated at an interval of
0.3 second.
2. When  the  control  unit  recognizes  the  vehicle  as
diesel type, the CHECK lamp is turned off for five
seconds and this mode is repeated at an interval of
0.3 seconds.
3. Upon completion of step 4, the system resumes the
self-diagnosis.    (The  self-diagnosis  is  executed
from the beginning.)
5. Turn  off  the  starter  switch  once.    When  above
conditions are met again in the future, the TPS MAP
control can be started.

4B2–13 DRIVE LINE CONTROL SYSTEM (TOD)
Indication Method of Trouble Code
Short-circuit  terminal  8  of  the  self-diagnostic
connector to GND to display the trouble code on the
CHECK lamp.
810RW308
If  no  trouble  codes  exist,  code  “12”  is  displayed
continuously.
If  trouble  codes  exist,  code  “12”  is  displayed  three
times, and the trouble codes, starting from the smaller
code number, are displayed three times respectively.

DRIVE LINE CONTROL SYSTEM (TOD) 4B2–14
How to Clear The Trouble Code
The trouble codes saved to the control unit can be deleted
by the following procedure if the starter switch is being in
the OFF position.
1. Shift the transfer lever to the neutral position between
HIGH  and  4L,  and  short-circuit  the  self-diagnostic
connector.
NOTE: The neutral position between HIGH and 4L refers
to  the  point  that  turns  off  the  TOD  indicator  lamps.
(However,  be  sure  to  check  the  position  before
short-circuiting the self-diagnostic connector.)
C07RW011
2. Turn on the starter switch while maintaining the state
of step 1, and step on the brake pedal five times within
five  seconds  from  the  first  step  on.    (Note  that  “five
times” includes the first step on).  (The TOD indicator
lamps display the 4L mode whenever the brake pedal
is stepped on.)
3. If the conditions shown in steps 1 and 2 are met, clear
the trouble codes saved to the control unit.  (After the
codes  are  completely  deleted,  the  code  12  that
indicates  the  normal  condition  is  continuously
displayed.)
Precautions on Diagnosis
Replacement of Control Unit
The  control  unit  itself  rarely  fails.    In  most  cases,  the
harnesses  have  failed  (e.q.  short-circuit)  to  cause
secondary troubles.  Other cases include that the cause
has  been  unknown  due  to  intermittent  occurrence  of
troubles and the troubles are removed accidentally along
with replacement of control unit, resulting in misjudgment
of  cause.    Therefore,  before replacing  the  control  unit,
check the connector joints and  whether the unspecified
current  flows  in  the  control  unit  due  to  short-circuit
between harnesses.Trouble Intermittently Observed
Troubles  intermittently  observed  are  mostly  attributable
to  temporary  imperfect  connection  of  harnesses  and
connectors.
When  such  troubles  are  found,  check  the  associated
circuit according to the following procedure.
1. Check  whether  improper  connectors  are  plugged  in
or connector terminals are completely engaged.
2. Check  whether  the  terminals  are  deformed  or
damaged.  If yes, remove the deformation or damage
and connect the terminals securely.
3. It is likely that wires in the harness are falsely broken.
Therefore,  in  examination of  failed  harness  circuit,
shake the harness for check to such extent that the
harness will not be damaged.
Test Run of Filed TOD Vehicle
If the TOD indicator lamps experienced faulty operation
even once in the past, the failed portion can be identified
by use of the procedure “Diagnosis from Trouble Codes”
or “Trouble Diagnosis  Depending on The Status of TOD
Indicator”.    If  the  troubles  that  are  only  recognized  as
abnormal  phenomena  of  the  vehicle  by  the  driver  are
observed, conduct the test run in the following procedure
to reproduce the faulty phenomena and diagnose the fault
for each phenomenon.
1. Start  the  engine,  and  check  that  the  TOD  indicator
lamps are turned on for about two seconds for initial
check;  the  CHECK  lamp  goes  off;  and  the  TOD
indicator lamps display the specified drive mode.  (If
the  CHECK  lamp  starts  blinking,  read  the  trouble
codes and identify the failed portion.)
2. While keeping the vehicle standstill, operate the 4WD
switch  and  shift  the  transfer  lever  to  change  the
modes:  2H  mode
TOD  mode4L  modeTOD
mode
2H  mode.    Check  that  the  TOD  indicator
lamps  correctly  display  the  status  whenever  the
mode is changed.  If the transition status is displayed
during  the  shift  operation,  run  the  vehicle  a  little  to
complete shifting.
3. Slowly start the vehicle in the TOD mode, and add the
power to accelerate to at least 40 km/h and maintain
the speed for about two minutes.  Apply the brake to
completely stop the vehicle.  Repeat this test pattern
at least three times.
4. Turn the steering to the right end (or left end) in the
TOD mode, and slowly start the vehicle and make a
c i r c l e  f i v e  t i m e s .  N e x t ,  c o n d u c t  t h e  s a m e  t e s t  i n  t h e  2 H
mode.
5. Slowly  start  the  vehicle  in  the  TOD  mode,  and
accelerate to at least 40 km/h. Keep the established
speed,  carefully  change  the  mode  in  the  sequence
“TOD mode
2H mode TOD mode” while checking
that the shift is complete in each mode change.  After
the  test,  apply  the  brake  to  completely  stop  the
vehicle.
6. Slowly  start  the  vehicle  in  the  TOD  mode,  and
accelerate  to  at  least  40  km/h.    Apply  the  brake
strongly so that the ABS works, and completely stop
the vehicle.
