Diagnosis Procedure
Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to "WIRING DIAGRAM ".
- CHECK CLUTCH PRESSURE SIGNAL
With CONSULT
- Start engine.
- Select DATA MONITOR mode for ALL MODE AWD/4WD with CONSULT.
- Read out the value of DUTY SOLENOID.
Condition Display value - Vehicle stopped
- Engine running
- A/T selector lever N position
- Brake pedal depressed
4WD shift switch: 2WD 4% 4WD shift switch: AUTO 96 - 4% 4WD shift switch: 4H or 4LO 4%
Without CONSULT
- Start engine.
- Check voltage between transfer control unit harness connector terminal and ground.

Connector Terminal Condition Voltage (Approx.) E142 10 - Ground - Vehicle stopped
- Engine running
- A/T selector lever N position
- Brake pedal depressed
4WD shift switch: AUTO 4 - 14V 4WD shift switch: 2WD, 4H or 4LO Less than 1V 19 - Ground - Vehicle stopped
- Engine running
- A/T selector lever N position
- Brake pedal depressed
4WD shift switch: AUTO 1.5 - 3V 4WD shift switch: 2WD, 4H or 4LO Less than 1V Are the inspection results normal?
YES: GO TO 7.
NO: GO TO 2.
- CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT AND CLUTCH PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE
- Turn ignition switch OFF. (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)
- Disconnect transfer control unit harness connector, transfer terminal cord assembly harness connector and transfer dropping resistor.
- Check continuity between transfer control unit harness connector E142 terminal 19 and transfer terminal cord assembly harness connector F56 terminal 6.
Continuity should exist.
- Check continuity between transfer dropping resistor harness connector E135 terminal 2 and transfer terminal cord assembly harness connector F56 terminal 6.
Continuity should exist.
Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
Are the inspection results normal?
YES: GO TO 3.
NO: Repair or replace damaged parts.
- CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT AND TRANSFER DROPPING RESISTOR
- Turn ignition switch OFF. (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)
- Disconnect transfer control unit harness connector and transfer dropping resistor harness connector.
- Check continuity between transfer control unit harness connector E142 terminal 10 and transfer dropping resistor harness connector E135 terminal 1.
Continuity should exist.
Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
Are the inspection results normal?
YES: GO TO 4.
NO: Repair or replace damaged parts.
- CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT
- Turn ignition switch OFF. (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)
- Disconnect transfer terminal cord assembly harness connector.
- Check continuity between transfer terminal cord assembly harness connector F56 terminal 19 and ground.
Continuity should exist.
Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
Are the inspection results normal?
YES: GO TO 5.
NO: Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
- CHECK CLUTCH PRESSURE SOLENOID
- Turn ignition switch OFF. (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)
- Disconnect transfer terminal cord assembly harness connector.
- Check resistance between transfer terminal cord assembly harness connector F56 terminals 6 and 19.
6 - 19: Approx. 3.0 - 3.4 Ω
Are the inspection results normal?
YES: GO TO 6.
NO: Replace clutch pressure solenoid. Refer to "COMPONENT PARTS LOCATION ".
- CHECK TRANSFER DROPPING RESISTOR
- Turn ignition switch OFF. (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)
- Disconnect transfer dropping resistor harness connector.
- Check resistance between transfer dropping resistor terminals 1 and 2.
1 - 2: Approx. 11.2 - 12.8 Ω
Are the inspection results normal?
YES: GO TO 7.
NO: Replace transfer dropping resistor.
- CHECK TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT
Check transfer control unit input/output signal. Refer to "REFERENCE VALUE ".
Are the inspection results normal?
YES: GO TO 8.
NO: Check transfer control unit pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector. If any items are damaged, repair or replace damaged parts.
- CHECK DTC
Drive the vehicle and then perform self-diagnosis.
Are the inspection results normal?
YES: Inspection End.
NO: Replace transfer control unit. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ".
