    GO TO 5 .

    NO

    GO TO 7 .

  5. CHECK RANGE SENSOR STATUS 

    SYMBOL CONSULT

    1. Turn ignition switch ON.
    2. Select "ALL MODE AWD/4WD" >> "Data Monitor" >> "RANGE SENSOR 1" and "RANGE SENSOR 2".
    3. Check the value of "RANGE SENSOR 1" and "RANGE SENSOR 2".

    Do "RANGE SENSOR 1" and "RANGE SENSOR 2" display "ON"?

    YES

    GO TO 6 .

    NO

    GO TO 7 .

  6. CHECK ACTUATOR SHAFT ACTUATION 

    SYMBOL CONSULT

    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Remove transfer motor. Refer to Removal and Installation .
    3. Connect transfer motor connector.
    4. Turn ignition switch ON.
    5. Select "ALL MODE AWD/4WD" >> "Data Monitor" >> "ROTARY POSITION SENSOR".
    6. Rotate the actuator shaft clockwise until status below.
