ROAD TEST
This test is to check if upshift and downshift take place at specified
speed while actually driving vehicle on a level road.
WARNING:

Carry out test in very little traffic area to prevent an acci-
dent.

Test requires 2 persons, a driver and a tester.
1) Warm up engine.
2) With engine running at idle, shift select lever ªDº.
3) Accelerate vehicle speed by depressing accelerator pedal grad-
ually.
4) While driving in ªDº range, check if gear shift occurs properly as
shown in Gear Shift Diagram in this section.

MANUAL ROAD TEST
This test check the gear being used in ªLº, ª2º or ªDº range when
driven with unoperated gear shift control system. Test drive vehicle
on a level road.
NOTE:
Before this test, check diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
1) Disconnect coupler of shift solenoid valves on transmission.
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not touch the hot
exhaust system when disconnecting shift solenoid
valves coupler.
2) With select lever in ªPº, start engine and warm it up.
3) With select lever in ªLº range, start vehicle and accelerate to 20
km/h (12.5 mile/h). Check in this state that 1st gear is being
used.
4) At 20 km/h (12.5 mile/h), shift select lever to 2 range and acceler-
ate to 40 km/h (25 mile/h). Check in this state that 3rd gear is
being used.
5) At 40 km/h (25 mile/h), shift select lever to D range and check
that O/D gear is used when speed is higher than 40 km/h (25
mile/h).
6) After above checks, stop vehicle then engine, and connect shift
solenoids coupler with ignition switch OFF.
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not touch the hot
exhaust system when connecting shift solenoid valves
coupler.
7) Clear DTC with scan tool.
TIME LAG TEST
This test is to check conditions of clutch, reverse brake and fluid
pressure. ªTime lagº means time elapsed since select lever is
shifted with engine idling till shock is felt.
1) With chocks placed before and behind front and rear wheels re-
spectively, depress brake pedal.
2) Start engine.
3) With stop watch ready, shift select lever from ªNº to ªDº range
and measure time from that moment till shock is felt.
4) Similarly measure time lag by shifting select lever from ªNº to ªRº
range.
Specification for ªNº
ªDºLess than 1.2 sec.
time lagªNº
ªRºLess than 1.5 sec.
NOTE:

When repeating this test, be sure to wait at least minute
after select lever is shifted back to ªNº range.

Engine should be warmed up fully for this test.

ENGINE BRAKE TEST
WARNING:
Before test, make sure that there is no vehicle behind so as
to prevent rear-end collision.
1) While driving vehicle in 3rd gear of ªDº range, shift select lever
down to ª2º range and check if engine brake operates.
2) In the same way as in step 1, check engine brake for operation
when select lever is shifted down to ªLº range.
3) If engine brake fails to operate in above tests, possible causes
for such failure are as follows. Check each part which is sus-
pected to be the cause.
Condition
Possible cause
Fails to operate when shifted
down to ª2º rangeSecond coast brake defec-
tive
Fails to operate when shifted
down to ªLº rangeReverse brake defective
ªPº RANGE TEST
1) Stop vehicle on a slope, shift select lever to ªPº range and at the
same time apply parking brake.
2) After stopping engine, depress brake pedal and release parking
brake.
3) Then, release brake pedal gradually and check that vehicle re-
mains stationary.
4) Depress brake pedal and shift select lever to ªNº range.
5) Then, release brake pedal gradually and check that vehicle
moves.
WARNING:
Before test, check to make sure no one is around vehicle
or down on a slope and keep watchful for safety during
test.

IN CABIN
Remove gear shift lever case and then remove transfer center case
bolt.
ON LIFT
1) Remove transfer mounting (engine rear mounting) by removing
bolts.
2) Apply transmission jack to transfer to support it.
3) Remove couplers for 4WD / 4WD-LOW switches lead.
4) Remove transfer front case bolts.
5) With transfer assembly supported with transmission jack, slide
it rearward and when it is apart from transmission, lower it.
REMOUNTING
For remounting, reverse dismounting procedure described above,
noting following.

Be sure to use specified torque for tightening.

Clamp wiring and breather hose securely.

Clamp shift lever boot securely.

Fill specified gear oil by specified amount.

Connect battery and check for function.

HEADLIGHT AIMING WITH SCREEN
NOTE:

Unless otherwise obligated by local regulations, adjust
headlight aiming according to following procedure.

After replacing headlight, be sure to perform its aiming.

When inspecting and adjusting headlight with leveling sys-
tem, make sure to set the leveling switch to ª0º position with
IG switch ON.
Before adjustment, make sure the following.
a) Place vehicle on a flat surface in front of blank wall as below
ahead of headlight surface.
Clearance ªaº: 10 m (32.8 ft)
b) Adjust air pressure of all tires to a specified value respectively.
c) Bounce vehicle body up and down by hand to stabilize suspen-
sion.
d) Carry out one driver aboard.
Driver's weight: 75 kg (165 lb)
Adjustment
1) Check to see if hot spot (high intensity zone) of each main (low)
beam axis falls as illustrated.
Clearance ªHº: Approx. 130 mm (5.15 in.)
2) If headlight aiming is not set properly, align it to specification by
adjusting aiming screw and aiming gear.
