      If the voltage is normal, inspect the multi mode transfer shift actuator, because the voltage applied to the motor cannot be measured.


  1. Inspect the multi mode transfer shift actuator (transfer shift actuator assembly).

    1. Remove the transfer shift actuator assembly (LandCruiser RM0000016PX019X.html).



    2. Check the LOCK to FREE switch.
      Connect lines via a relay as shown in the illustration, then check that the actuator fork moves from the LOCK to FREE position.

      NOTICE:
      1. Perform this inspection with the actuator removed from the vehicle. If this inspection is performed with the actuator installed to the vehicle, the actuator will be damaged.
      2. When inspecting the actuator, operate it with the lines connected via a relay. If the lines are not connected via a relay and battery voltage is directly applied to the actuator, the actuator will be damaged.
      HINT:
      When performing the operation described above, use the DEF relay on the main body ECU (instrument panel junction block).

    4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage:
      Tester Connection
      Switch Condition
      Specified Condition
      C43-11 (HL2) - C43-10 (GND)
      Ignition switch ON
      10.5 to 14 V
      C43-12 (HL1) - C43-10 (GND)
      Ignition switch ON
      10.5 to 14 V

      If the result is not as specified, replace the 4 wheel drive control ECU (LandCruiser RM00000479S00VX.html).
      If the voltage is normal, inspect the high-low transfer shift actuator, because the voltage applied to the motor cannot be measured.


  1. Inspect the high-low transfer shift actuator (transfer shift actuator assembly).

    1. Remove the transfer shift actuator assembly (LandCruiser RM0000016PX019X.html).



    2. Check the HIGH to LOW switch.
      Connect lines via a relay as shown in the illustration, then check that the actuator fork moves from the HIGH to LOW position.

      NOTICE:
      1. Perform this inspection with the actuator removed from the vehicle. If this inspection is performed with the actuator installed to the vehicle, the actuator will be damaged.
      2. When inspecting the actuator, operate it with the lines connected via a relay. If the lines are not connected via a relay and battery voltage is directly applied to the actuator, the actuator will be damaged.
      HINT:
      When performing the operation described above, use the DEF relay on the main body ECU (instrument panel junction block).
