    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  5.

    NG: GO TO 2.

  2. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT AND LINE PRESSURE SWITCH 
    1. Turn ignition switch "OFF". (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)
    2. Disconnect transfer control unit harness connector and the transfer terminal cord assembly harness connector.
    3. Check continuity between transfer control unit harness connector M153 terminal 35 and transfer terminal cord assembly harness connector F56 terminal 1.

      Continuity should exist. 

      Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
