REPLACE 4 WHEEL DRIVE CONTROL ECU

2.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (4 WHEEL DRIVE CONTROL ECU - DIFFERENTIAL LOCK COIL)

(a) Disconnect the F12 4 wheel drive control ECU connector.

(b) Disconnect the D28 differential lock coil connector.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
F12-1 (SL+) or D28-2 (SL+) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
F12-5 (SL-) or D28-1 (SL-) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

REPLACE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK COIL

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
