10.Depress the accelerator pedal gradually, and 

maintain the vehicle speed at approximately 10 
km/h.

11.Switch the 4WD switch to "4WD AUTO" position, 

and check that the rear wheels are rotating.

After the above checks are completed, if the rear 
wheel rotation satisfies the above conditions, it is 
judged that the electronic control coupling operates 
correctly. If the rear wheel rotation does not satisfy 
the above conditions, replace the electronic control 
coupling. (Refer to 

P.27C-53

.)

Disconnect the electronic control coupling solenoid 
connector, and measure the resistance value 
between the connector terminals on the unit side. If 
the measured resistance value is out of the standard 
value range, replace the electronic control coupling.
