• When the transfer position is 4HLc or 4LLc, connector 

C-12 terminal 1 resistance should measure less than 2 
ohms.
When the transfer position is other than 4HLc or 4LLc, 
connector C-12 terminal 1 resistance should measure 
open circuit.

• When the transfer position is 4LLc, connector C-05 ter-

minal 1 resistance should measure less than 2 ohms.
When the transfer position is other than 4LLc, connector 
C-05 terminal 1 resistance should measure open circuit.

(7) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Are the resistance normal?

YES : Go to Step 11.
NO :  Replace the each detection switch. Refer to GROUP 

23B, Transfer 

P.23B-75

.

STEP 11. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 
07: Transfer Mode Detected.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Transmission range should be "N" range.
(4) Set scan tool MB991958 to data reading mode.

• Item 07: Transfer Mode Detected.

• Display should be the same as the actual transfer 

shift lever position.

(5) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Are all position operating properly?

YES : If can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunction 

P.00-6

.

NO :  Replace the transfer-ECU.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
The power voltage from the ignition switch is 
imposed to the free-wheel engage solenoid valves 
(terminal 1), when the driving condition is shifted to 
2WD the terminal 41 of the transfer-ECU is 
grounded, which operates the free-wheel engage 
solenoid valves.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
In the case that the free-wheel engage solenoid 
valves operation and free-wheel engage solenoid 
valves operation command (transfer shift lever, front 
propeller shaft speed sensor and rear propeller shaft 
speed sensor) do not match, the DTC 34 is set as 
the open circuit or the short circuit of the free-wheel 
engage solenoid valve system.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (THE MOST LIKELY 
CAUSES FOR THIS CODE TO BE SET ARE:)

• Malfunction of free-wheel engage solenoid valve

• Damaged harness, connector

• Malfunction of the transfer-ECU

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable

• MB991911: MUT-III Main Harness B
