          Turned from H4 to L4 4LO indicator light comes on immediately or comes on after blinking

          If there is a malfunction, inspect the switch, ECU and transfer shift actuator. If the system is normal, there may be a malfunction in the CAN communication system or combination meter. In that case, first check the CAN communication system for LHD Click here, for RHD Click here. Then check the combination meter Click here.

        • A0155MBE01

          w/o VSC:

          OK
          Switch Condition Specified Condition
          Turned from H4 to L4 4LO indicator light and center differential lock indicator light come on immediately or come on after blinking

          If there is a malfunction, inspect the switch, ECU and transfer shift actuator. If the system is normal, there may be a malfunction in the CAN communication system or combination meter. In that case, first check the CAN communication system for LHD Click here, for RHD Click here. Then check the combination meter Click here.

          Tech Tips

          For vehicles without VSC (Vehicle Stability Control), when the transfer position switch is turned from H4 to L4, the center differential will lock.

    2. Check the center differential lock indicator light.


      1. Start the engine.

      2. A0157U3

        Push the center differential lock switch.

        Note


        • Do not push the switch while the vehicle is turning.

        • Push the switch at a vehicle speed less than 100 km/h (60 mph).

      3. Check the center differential lock indicator light.

        OK
        Switch Condition Specified Condition
        Pushed Center differential lock indicator light comes on immediately or comes on after blinking

In that case, first check the CAN communication system for LHD Click here, for RHD Click here. Then check the combination meter Click here.

    3. w/ Rear Differential Lock:

      Check the rear differential lock indicator light.


      1. Start the engine.

        for Manual Transmission: Depress the clutch pedal.

      4. Turn the transfer position switch from H4 to L4.

        Tech Tips

        The rear differential can be locked only when the following conditions are met: 1) The transfer is in low, and 2) the center differential is locked. As vehicles with a rear differential lock do not have a vehicle stability control system, these conditions will be satisfied after the transfer position switch is turned to L4, the transfer shifts to low, and the center differential locks.

      5. Turn the differential lock switch from OFF to RR.

        Note

        When locking the rear differential, make sure that the vehicle speed is less than 8 km/h (5 mph).

      6. A015775E01

        Check the rear differential lock indicator light.

        OK
        Switch Condition Specified Condition
        After transfer position switch is turned from H4 to L4, differential lock switch is turned from OFF to RR Rear differential lock indicator light comes on immediately or comes on after blinking

        If there is a malfunction, inspect the switch, ECU and differential lock shift actuator.

        Tech Tips


        • The 4LO indicator light and center differential lock indicator light are both illuminated.

        • When the rear differential is locked, if the transfer position switch is returned to H4, the rear differential becomes free. However, since the differential lock switch is on RR, the rear differential lock indicator light blinks, and when the differential lock switch is turned to OFF, the indicator light turns off.
