Automatic Transmission

When starting and accelerating in forward gears (4WD mode)

  1. Lift up the vehicle so all four wheels are off the ground (see page 01-7) .


  2. Make a mark (A) on either No. 1 or No. 2 propeller shaft (B).


  3. Start the engine, and let it run until it warms up (the radiator fan comes on at least twice).
  4. With the engine at idle, shift to the [1] position.
  5. Apply the parking brake firmly, and measure the time it takes the propeller shaft to rotate 10 times.
  6. If the measured time is more than 10 seconds, the 4WD system is normal.
  7. If the time is less than 10 seconds, there is a problem in 4WD system. Check the differential fluid. If the differential fluid is normal, replace the torque control differential (TCD) case kit.

  3. Start the engine, and let it run until it warms up (the radiator fan comes on at least twice).
  4. With the engine at idle, shift to the [R] position.
  5. Apply the parking brake firmly, and measure the time it takes the propeller shaft to rotate 10 times.
  6. If the measured time is more than 10 seconds, the 4WD system is normal.
  7. If the time is less than 10 seconds, there is a problem in 4WD system. Check the differential fluid. If the differential fluid is normal, replace the torque control differential (TCD) case kit.

Manual Transmission

When starting and accelerating in forward gears (4WD mode)

  1. Lift up the vehicle so all four wheels are off the ground (see page 01-7) .


  2. Start the engine, and let it run until it warms up (the radiator fan comes on at least twice).
  3. With the engine at idle, shift into 1st gear and release the clutch.
  4. Apply the parking brake firmly.
  5. If the engine stalls, the 4WD system is normal.
  6. If the engine continues running, there is a problem in 4WD system. Check the differential fluid. If the differential fluid is normal, replace the torque control differential (TCD) case kit.

Automatic Transmission/Manual Transmission

When decelerating in a forward gears (2WD mode)

  1. Block the front wheels (A) raise the left rear wheel, and support it with a safety stand (B) as shown.


  2. Hold the tire and turn it counterclockwise continuously for more than one rotation.
  3. If the rotation of the wheel does not gradually feel heavy while rotating, the 2WD system when decelerating in a forward gear is normal.
  4. If the rotation of the wheel gradually feels heavy, there is a problem in the system. Check the differential fluid. If the fluid is normal, replace the torque control differential (TCD) case kit.
