CHECK 2-4WD SOLENOID

1. Turn ignition switch “OFF”.  (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)

2. Disconnect transfer terminal cord assembly harness connector.

3. Check resistance between transfer terminal cord assembly ter-

minals 4 and 5.

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 7.

NG

>> 2-4WD solenoid is malfunctioning. Refer to 

DLN-19,

"Component Parts Location"

.

CHECK TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT

Check transfer control unit input/output signal. Refer to 

DLN-88, "Reference Value"

.

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 8.

NG

>> Check transfer control unit pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector.

If any items are damaged, repair or replace damaged parts.
