  2. DRAIN TORQUE TRANSFER MODULE FLUID


    1. for LH Side:


      1. Stop the vehicle on a level surface.

      2. A01QCNL

        Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, remove the rear differential filler plug (torque transfer module side) and gasket.

      3. A01QBO7

        Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, remove the rear differential drain plug (torque transfer module side) and gasket to drain the fluid.

      4. Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, install a new gasket and the rear differential drain plug (torque transfer module side).

        Torque:
        39.2 N*m  { 400 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf }

    2. for RH Side:


      1. Stop the vehicle on a level surface.

      2. A01Q8EN

        Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, remove the rear differential filler plug (torque transfer module side) and gasket.

      3. A01QAEM

        Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, remove the rear differential drain plug (torque transfer module side) and gasket to drain the fluid.

      4. Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, install a new gasket and the rear differential drain plug (torque transfer module side).

        Torque:
        39.2 N*m  { 400 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf }

  3. DRAIN DIFFERENTIAL OIL


    1. Stop the vehicle on a level surface.

    2. A01QA9J

      Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, remove the rear differential filler plug (differential side) and gasket.

    3. A01QB94

      Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, remove the rear differential drain plug (differential side) and gasket to drain the oil.

    4. Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, install a new gasket and the rear differential drain plug (differential side).

      Torque:
      49 N*m  { 500 kgf*cm, 36 ft.*lbf }

  4. ADD TORQUE TRANSFER MODULE FLUID


    1. A01QA66C01
      *a 0 to 9 mm (0 to 0.354 in.)

      Add torque transfer module fluid so that the fluid level is between 0 to 9 mm (0 to 0.354 in.) from the bottom lip of the rear differential filler plug opening (torque transfer module side).

      Note


      • Too much or too little fluid will lead to torque transfer module problems.

      • After changing the fluid, drive the vehicle and then check the fluid level again.

      Oil Type
      Toyota genuine ATF WS or equivalent
      Standard Torque Transfer Module Fluid Capacity
      0.65 to 0.75 liters (0.7 to 0.8 US qts, 0.6 to 0.7 Imp. qts)

    2. Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, install a new gasket and the rear differential filler plug (torque transfer module side).

      Torque:
      39.2 N*m  { 400 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf }

  5. ADD DIFFERENTIAL OIL


    1. A01QA66C01
      *a 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.)

      Add differential oil so that the oil level is between 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) from the bottom lip of the rear differential filler plug opening (differential side).

      Note


      • Too much or too little oil will lead to differential problems.

      • After changing the oil, drive the vehicle and then check the oil level again.

      Oil Type
      Toyota genuine differential gear oil LT 75W-85 GL-5 or equivalent
      Standard Differential Oil Capacity
      1.30 to 1.40 liters (1.4 to 1.5 US qts, 1.1 to 1.2 Imp. qts)

    2. Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, install a new gasket and the rear differential filler plug (differential side).

      Torque:
      49 N*m  { 500 kgf*cm, 36 ft.*lbf }

  6. INSPECT FOR TORQUE TRANSFER MODULE FLUID AND DIFFERENTIAL OIL LEAK


    1. A01QBJY

      Check that there are no torque transfer module fluid or differential oil leaks at the points shown in the illustration.

  7. INSTALL REAR SUSPENSION MEMBER BRACE LH
