    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO 4.

    NG: Check the following. If any items are damaged, repair or replace damaged parts.

    • 20A fuse (No. 57 located in the fuse and relay box). Refer to "POWER SUPPLY ROUTING CIRCUIT ".
    • Harness for short or open between battery, transfer shift high relay harness connector E46 terminal 5 and transfer shift low relay harness connector E47 terminal 5.
  4. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT AND TRANSFER SHIFT RELAY 
    1. Turn ignition switch "OFF". (Stay for at least 5 seconds.)
    2. Disconnect transfer control unit harness connector and transfer control device (actuator motor) harness connector.
    3. Remove transfer shift high relay and transfer shift low relay. Refer to "LOCATION OF ELECTRICAL PARTS ".
    4. Check continuity between the following terminals.
