FLUID CHECK

M1221011500033

1. Remove the maintenance lid located in the 

luggage compartment.

2. <Not using M.U.T.-II/III>

• If the vehicle has been run, leave it for 90 min. or 

more in an ordinary temperature (10

°C − 30°C) to 

allow the accumulator internal pressure to drop.

NOTE: If the ambient temperature is 10

°

C or less, 

allow more time to leave the vehicle to stand idle.

3. <Using M.U.T.-II/III>

CAUTION

Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF) posi-
tion before connecting or disconnecting the 
M.U.T.-II/III.

• Set the M.U.T.-II/III to the 16-pin diagnosis con-

nector. 

• Turn ON the ignition switch, perform M.U.T.-II/III 

actuator test (Item No.03), forcibly drive the

NOTE: 

.

•

In the actuator test (Item No.03: Oil Level 
Check Mode), the directional valve of the 
hydraulic unit is moved to the left and right for 
20 times, and then the differential is cleared 
automatically. Drive can also be cleared forci-
bly using the clear key of the M.U.T.-II/III.

•

If the function has been stopped by fail-safe, 
the hydraulic unit cannot be cleared forcibly.

4. Check that the fluid level in the oil reservoir is in 

the range between MAX and MIN.

5. If the fluid level is lower than MIN, add the 

specified fluid.

Specified fluid: DIA QUEEN ATF SP III

6. Reinstall the maintenance lid.

BLEEDING

M1221011600018

CAUTION

If bleeding is not performed completely, noise 
may be produced from the hydraulic unit, or the 
durability of the pump, etc. may drop.
1. Lift up the vehicle.

CAUTION

Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK"(OFF) 
position before connecting or disconnecting the 
M.U.T.-II/III.
2. Set the M.U.T.-II/III to the 16-pin diagnosis 

connector.

3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
4. Set the steering wheel in the straight-ahead 

position.

5. Perform the M.U.T.-II/III actuator test (Item 

No.01), and forcibly drive the hydraulic unit.

NOTE: 

.

•

The actuator test (Item No.01: Bleeding Mode) 
will be performed for 5 minutes, after which it 
will be cleared automatically. Drive can also be 
cleared during forced driving using the clear 
key of the M.U.T.-II/III.

•

If the hydraulic unit function has been stopped 
by fail-safe, the hydraulic unit cannot be forci-
bly driven.

6. Remove the cap of the bleeder screw on the 

transfer, and connect the vinyl hose.

CAUTION

During bleeding, replenish the fluid so that some 
always remains in the oil reservoir.
7. Slowly turn the steering wheel to the left or right 

from the neutral state. Loosen the bleeder screw, 
and check that air is discharged together with the 
fluid.

8. After the air is discharged, tighten the bleeder 

screw, and return the steering wheel to the neutral 
state.

9. Repeat steps 6 and 7 several 2 to 3 times, and 

after checking that no more air mixes in, tighten 
the bleeder screw at the specified torque.

Tightening torque: 5 

± 1 N⋅m

10.After bleeding, check the fluid level. (Refer to 

P.22A-152

).

11.If the hydraulic pressure unit is removed, bleed 

the AYC (Refer to GROUP 27 

− On-vehicle 

Service 

P.27-28

).

ACD OPERATION CHECK

M1221011700037

CAUTION

Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) 
position before connecting or disconnecting the 
M.U.T.-II/III.
1. Set the M.U.T.-II/III to the 16-pin diagnosis 

connector.

2. Start the engine.

3. Set the steering wheel to the neutral position, and 

carry out the actuator test (Item No.05) using 
M.U.T.-II/III. Then, activate the transfer forcibly.
NOTE: 

.

•

The actuator test (Item No.05: ACD Operation 
Check Mode) is performed for 1 minute, after 
which it will be cleared automatically. Drive 
can also be cleared during forced driving using 
the clear key of the M.U.T.-II/III.

•

If the hydraulic unit function has been stopped 
by fail-safe, the transfer cannot be forcibly 
driven.

4. Turn the steering wheel 180

° or more to the right 

or left, and drive the vehicle at 20 km/h or less to 
check that tight corner braking phenomenon.
NOTE: 

.

•

The occurrence level of the body vibration and 
noise depends on the condition of tyres and 
roads.

•

If tight corner braking does not occur, check 
the hydraulic pressure because the system 
may be defective.

HYDRAULIC PRESSURE CHECK

M1221011800034

1. Lift up the vehicle.

CAUTION

Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF) posi-
tion before connecting or disconnecting the 
M.U.T.-II/III.
2. Set the M.U.T.-II/III to the 16-pin diagnosis 

connector.

3. Disconnect the hydraulic unit and transfer 

connector assembly, and connect the special tool 
to the hydraulic unit.

4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
5. Perform the M.U.T.-II/III actuator test (Item 

No.05), and forcibly drive the hydraulic unit.

NOTE: 

.

•

The actuator test (Item No.05 ACD Operation 
Check Mode) is performed for 1 minute, after 
which it will be cleared automatically. Drive 
can also be cleared during forced driving using 
the clear key of the M.U.T.-II/III.

•

If the hydraulic unit function has been stopped 
by fail-safe, the hydraulic unit cannot be forci-
bly driven.

CAUTION

While the oil pressure is checked, add fluid as 
necessary to ensure that it is left in the oil reser-
voir during the entire procedure.
6. Check that the generated oil pressure of the 

hydraulic unit satisfies the standard value.

Standard value: 1.0 

− 1.6 MPa

7. If the measured value exceeds the standard 

value, replace the hydraulic unit.

8. Connect the hydraulic unit and transfer connector 

assembly, and tighten the flare nut at the specified 
torque.

Tightening torque:

34 

± 5 N⋅m (when screw is dry)

26 

± 4 N⋅m (when screw is applied with oil)

9. Supply the specified fluid up to the MAX level of 

the oil reservoir, and bleed the oil pressure pipes.

• Specified fluid: DIA QUEEN ATF SP III
