WIRING DIAGRAM

Refer to DTC P17A9 (See page PROCEDURE ).

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (4 WHEEL DRIVE CONTROL ECU - TRANSFER SHIFT ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY)

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

(b) Disconnect the T4 transfer shift actuator assembly connector.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
F12-8 (TM1) - T4-2 (TM1)	Always	Below 1 Ω
F12-7 (TM2) - T4-1 (TM2)	Always	Below 1 Ω

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

2.	INSPECT TRANSFER SHIFT ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY (TRANSFER SHIFT MOTOR)

(a) Disconnect the T4 transfer shift actuator assembly connector.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
2 (TM1) - 1 (TM2)	Always	1.5 to 10 Ω
