Components | Functions |
Transfer position switch | Allows switching between the 3 drive modes: 2WD, 4HI and 4LO. |
Combination meter assembly |
4HI indicator light | Illuminates to inform the user of 4HI mode status.
Blinks to inform the user of mode switching. Rapidly blinks to inform the user of a system malfunction. |
4LO indicator light | Illuminates to inform the user of 4LO mode status.
Blinks to inform the user of mode switching. Rapidly blinks to inform the user of a system malfunction. |
Warning buzzer | Sounds an alarm if a violation of the conditions required for mode shifting occurs when the transfer mode is shifted. |
Skid control ECU | Outputs wheel speed signals to the 4 wheel drive control ECU via CAN communication. |
Speed sensors | Detects the speeds of all 4 wheels and sends that information to the skid control ECU. |
ECM | Outputs information such as the shift lever position and engine speed to the 4 wheel drive control ECU via CAN communication. |
Park/neutral position switch | Detects the shift lever position and sends that information to the ECM. |
4 wheel drive control ECU | Determines
the vehicle status from wheel and engine speed signals received via CAN
communication, and according to the operation of the transfer position
switch, switches to the requested 4WD mode by operating the transfer
shift actuator assembly. |
Transfer shift actuator assembly | Operates the transfer shift motor according to commands sent from the 4 wheel drive control ECU and switches to 4WD mode. |
Transfer indicator switch | Detects the 2WD, 4HI and 4LO positions and sends that information to the 4 wheel drive control ECU. |
A.D.D. actuator (differential vacuum actuator assembly) |
A.D.D. shift motor and limit switch |
Operates the A.D.D. shift motor according to commands sent from the 4 wheel drive control ECU and switches between 2WD and 4WD. |
A.D.D. detection switch | Detects the 2WD and 4WD A.D.D. positions and sends that information to the 4 wheel drive control ECU. |
