1. Turn ignition switch "OFF". (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)
2. Disconnect transfer control unit harness connector and the ATP switch harness connector.
3. Check continuity between transfer control unit harness connector M152 terminal 23 and ATP switch harness connector F55 terminal 8.

   Continuity should exist. 

   Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

OK or NG 

1. OK: GO TO 3.
2. NG: Repair or replace damaged parts.

Check transfer control unit input/output signal. Refer to "TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL REFERENCE VALUES ".

OK or NG 

1. OK: GO TO 6.
2. NG: Check transfer control unit pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector. If any items are damaged, repair or replace damaged parts.

1. Turn ignition switch "ON". (Do not start engine.)
2. A/T selector lever "N" position and engage the parking brake.
3. Switch 4WD shift switch from 4H to 4LO or 4LO to 4H.

Does ATP warning lamp turn "ON", while actuator motor is operating? 

1. YES: Inspection End.
2. NO: go to "ATP WARNING LAMP DOES NOT TURN ON ".
