Motor shift control system
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT SWITCH POSITION

(b) Check that the center diff. indicator light comes on when the the switch is in "ON" position. Check that the light goes off when the switch is in "OFF" position.
2. INSPECT SHIFT LEVER POSITION

(b) Check that the center diff. indicator light comes on when the transfer shift lever is shifted to the "L" position. Check that the light goes off when the lever is shifted to the "N" or "H" position.
3. INSPECT CENTER DIFF. LOCK CONTROL RELAY

(a) Check that continuity exists between each terminal, as shown in the chart.

*: 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.
(b) Apply battery positive voltage between each terminal and check that continuity exists between each terminal, as shown in the chart.

If continuity is not as specified, replace the relay.
4. INSPECT ACTUATOR OPERATION

(c) Check that the front propeller shaft can be rotated by hand.


HINT: When inspecting the operation described above, use a heater main relay.
NOTICE: Connect the terminals being careful not to touch the neighboring terminals or metallic parts of relay housing.
5. INSPECT MOTOR ACTUATOR (MOTOR)

(b) Measure the resistance between the terminals 1 and 5.
Standard resistance: 0.3 - 100 W
(c) Measure the resistance between the terminals 1 or 5 and body ground.
Standard resistance: More than 0.5 MW
If the resistance value is not as specified, replace the motor actuator.
6. INSPECT CENTER DIFF. LOCK SWITCH CONTINUITY

(b) Inspect the continuity between each terminal.

7. INSPECT TRANSFER INDICATOR SWITCH CONTINUITY

(b) Check that continuity exists between terminals 1 and 2 when pushing the ball at the tip of the switch.
