Before Judging That Troubles Occur
(Unfaulty mode)
When Switching from 2WD to 4WD
1. In case that blinking frequency of the 4WD
indicator changes from 2Hz to 4Hz.
When heavy synchronization load is needed, the
motor actuator tries the shifting transfer gear three
times including the activation shifting. While the
motor actuator tries shifting, the indicator blinks by
2Hz. If the third shifting f ails, the indicator's blinking
changes from 2Hz to 4Hz at the same time that the
motor actuator shifted back to 2WD.
Heavy synchronization load occurs by
• extremely lower temperature.
• higher speed.rotation difference of wheels during
cornering.
Solution 1: Operate again after stop the vehicle
or slow down.
2. In case that the 4WD indicator continues
blinking by 2Hz for more than 11.5 seconds.
When there is rotation difference of wheels or there
is phase difference between front wheels and axles,
it is difficult to connect front wheels to front axles.
The blinking by 2Hz shows that shifting the transfer
gear or connecting the front wheels is in the middle
of operating. In above case, the indicator's blinking
by 2Hz shows that connecting the front wheels is
not completed (because the indicator's blinking
changes to 4Hz when the shifting transfer gear is
impossible.). And removal of rotation or phase
difference make connecting the front wheels
possible.
Solution 2: When vehicle is running, drive
straight ahead while accelerating and
decelerating. When vehicle is at a stop, move
the vehicle forward and backward from 2 to 3
meters.
When Switching from 4WD to 2WD
1. In case that the 4WD indicator continues
blinking by 2Hz .
The 4WD indicator continues blinking by 2Hz until
both shifting the transf er gear and disconnecting the
front wheels are completed when switching 4WD to
2WD. When driv e line is loaded with torsional
torque, the shifting transfer gear and disconnecting
front wheels are impossible. In this case, removal of
torsional torque on drive line make the shifting
transfer gear and disconnecting front wheels
possible.
Solution 3: When vehicle is running, drive
straight ahead while accelerating and
decelerating. When vehicle is at a stop, move
the vehicle forward and backward from 2 to 3
meters.
2. In case that the 4WD indicator's blinking changes
from 2Hz to 4Hz.
Check the position of transfer lever. Is it at “4L"
position? In view of the shifting mechanism of
transfer, the gear shifting from 4WD to 2WD at “4L"
condition is impossible.
Solution 4: Push the 4WD switch to 4WD, shift
the transfer lever to “High" position and re-
operate the 4WD switc h to 2WD.
