PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY (TRANSFER SHIFT MOTOR OR A.D.D. SHIFT MOTOR)

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

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

Standard Resistance:

Transfer shift actuator assembly side:

Tester Connection

Condition

Specified Condition

F12-8 (TM1) or F12-7 (TM2) - Body ground

Always

10 kΩ or higher

A.D.D. actuator (differential vacuum actuator assembly) side:

Tester Connection

Condition

Specified Condition

F12-2 (DM1) or F12-6 (DM2) - Body ground

Always

10 kΩ or higher
