Automatic Disconnecting Differential Control System: Inspection

  1. INSPECT A.D.D. ACTUATOR 
    1. Disconnect the actuator connector.
    2. Measure the resistance between the terminals 2 and 6.

      1. Standard resistance: 0.3 - 100 Ω 
    3. Measure the resistance between the terminals 2 or 6 and body ground.
      1. Standard resistance: More than 0.5 MΩ 

    If the resistance value is not as specified, replace the actuator assembly.

  2. INSPECT A.D.D. ACTUATOR OPERATION 

    Apply battery positive voltage between the terminal 2 or 6, and check the actuator operation by sound, A.D.D. status and continuity between the terminal 3 and 4.

    TERMINALS CONTINUITY

    Battery Voltage Applied Terminal 3-4 Terminals Continuity A.D.D. Status
    2 (+) - 6 (-) Continuity Connected
    2 (-) - 6 (+) No Continuity Disconnected

    If the operation is not as specified, replace the actuator assembly.

  3. INSPECT LIMIT SWITCH CONTINUITY 
    1. Connect the actuator connector.
    2. Shift the transfer shift lever or switch the transfer operation switch to "H2" position.

    3. Check the A.D.D. actuator operation by sound.
    4. Disconnect the actuator connector.
    5. Check the continuity between each terminal, as shown in TERMINALS CONTINUITY .
      TERMINALS CONTINUITY

      Tester Connected Terminal Number Specified Condition
      1 - 3 No Continuity
      1 - 4 No Continuity
      3 - 5 Continuity
      4 - 5 No Continuity
    6. Connect the actuator connector.
    7. Shift the transfer shift lever or switch the transfer operation switch to "H4" position.

    8. Check the A.D.D. actuator operation by sound.
    9. Disconnect the actuator connector.
    10. Check the continuity between each terminal, as shown in TERMINAL CONTINUITY .
      TERMINAL CONTINUITY

      Tester Connected Terminal Number Specified Condition
      1 - 3 Continuity
      1 - 4 No Continuity
      3 - 5 No Continuity
      4 - 5 No Continuity
    11. Connect the actuator connector.
  4. INSPECT A.D.D. RELAY

    1. Check the continuity between each terminal, as shown in TERMINAL CONTINUITY .
      TERMINAL CONTINUITY

      Tester Connected Terminal Number Specified Condition
      1 - 2 Continuity
      2 - 4 Continuity
      6 - 7 (1)
      (1) There is a diode between the terminals 6 and 7. If no continuity exists, check that continuity exists when changing the position of (+) probe for the position of negative (-) probe of tester.
    2. Apply battery positive voltage between each terminal and check the continuity between each terminal, as shown in TERMINAL CONTINUITY .
    TERMINAL CONTINUITY

    Battery Voltage Applied Terminal Tester Connected Terminal Number Specified Condition
    6 (+) - 5 (-) 1 - 3 1 - 2 Continuity No Continuity
    7 (+) - 2 (-) 9 - 10 No Continuity
    9 (+) - 10 (-) 3 - 4 2 - 4 Continuity No Continuity

    If continuity is not as specified, replace the relay.

  5. INSPECT TRANSFER 4WD POSITION SWITCH 
    1. VF2A: See  TRANSFER (VF2A) 
    2. VF2BM: See  TRANSFER - VF2BM 
  6. REMOVE A.D.D. ACTUATOR (See step 5 of  DISASSEMBLY  ) 
  7. INSPECT CLUTCH HUB AND CLUTCH SLEEVE 
    1. Check the clutch hub and clutch sleeve for wear and damage.

      If necessary, replace them.

    2. Check that clutch sleeve slides smoothly on the clutch hub.

  8. MEASURE SLEEVE FORK AND CLUTCH SLEEVE CLEARANCE 

    Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the sleeve fork and clutch sleeve.

    1. Maximum clearance: 0.35 mm (0.0138 in.) 

    If the clearance exceeds the maximum, replace the fork or sleeve.
