Outline of Shift on The Fly System: Retrial

The transfer motor actuator starts the transfer gear shifting after a signal from the 4WD switch mounted on the instrument panel has been received. However, shifting may not occur in severe cold weather or under high speed conditions. When 2 seconds have passed since the transfer gear shifting has commenced and the transfer position switch does not activate (the gear engagement is not completed), the motor reverses its rotation for 1.2 seconds and automatically repeats the operation again for a maximum of 3 times (with the 4WD indicator lamp blinking-2Hz)..

IF after 3 times the transfer position switch does not come on, the gear shifting will stop and the 4WD indicator lamp will blink faster (4Hz) to alert the driver that the gear shifting has stopped. The lamp will continue to blink until the driver deactivates the 4WD switch (to 2WD mode).
