TRANSFER CASE 7D-3

General Description

RUW34DLF000701

The transfer case is used to provide a means of


providing power flow to the front axle. The transfer case
also provides a means of disconnecting the front axle,
providing better fuel economy and quieter operation
when the vehicle is driven on improved roads where
four wheel drive is not required. In addition, the transfer
case provides an additional gear reduction when placed
in low range, which is useful when difficult off-road
conditions are encountered.
Use the 4WD switch on the center cluster panel to
select the drive range. The 4WD indicator lamp will be
lit when 4WD is selected.

Service Precaution
WARNING:
THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO THE SRS COMPONENT AND
WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN ORDER TO DETERMINE
WHETHER YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR
NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING.
WHEN YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR
THE SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFER TO
THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN POSSIBLE AIR BAG
DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL INJURY, OR OTHERWISE
UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM REPAIRS.

CAUTION:
Always use the correct fastener in the proper location.
When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part
number for that application. ISUZU will call out those
fasteners that require a replacement after removal. ISUZU
will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers
or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do
not use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other
corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener
joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect
the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may
damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the
correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following
these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts
and systems.

7D1-4 TRANSFER CONTROL SYSTEM

Summary of transfer control system


The transfer control system switches between the 2-wheel
drive (2H), 4-wheel drive high-speed (4H), 4-wheel drive low-
speed (4L), and neutral positions electrically when the driver
operate the switches.
This system has following functions.
1. Connection or disconnection of drive force distribution to
the front wheel front shaft (axle shaft) (The drive force
distribution to the front propeller is connected or
disconnected with the motor actuator.)
2. Try to repeat the connection or disconnection of the front
wheel drive function as described above.
3. Option: Shift on the fly type only.
Instruction of connection or disconnection of the drive force
transmission between the front wheel axle (axle shaft) and
front wheel
(The motor actuator connects or disconnects the left front
wheel ad front wheel axle (axle shaft).).
4. Shifting of auxiliary transmission gears, connection or
disconnection of wheel and engine drive force (4H, 4L,
neutral).
5. Operation of indicator on the instrument panel.
6. Transmission of position signal to other controllers.
TRANSFER CONTROL SYSTEM 7D1-5

System Components
Parts Location

Speed sensor
Revolutions of the rear output shaft are decreased and taken
out by the speed/drive/driven gears installed in the transfer
case and the number of revolutions is detected with a speed
sensor.
About 4/3 pulses per revolution of the shaft is output.

4WD switch
The 4WD switch detects the movement of the shift rod driving
the 4´2 - 4´4 sleeve.
PUSH open is achieved with the PUSH open switch when the
shift rod is at the 4´2 position.

´2 - 4´
4´ ´4 sleeve & Arm
The 4´2 - 4´4 sleeve moves directly in the 4´4 direction with
the 4´2 - 4´4 shift rod, but, when moving in 4´2 direction, a
7D1-6 TRANSFER CONTROL SYSTEM

spring standby mechanism is provided between the rod and


sleeve so that the rod is positioned at the 4´2 position, while
the sleeve is at the 4´4 position in sometime.
This mechanism is provided to protect the shift mechanism
from the force to prevent the movement of the sleeve
(torsional torque etc. of the drive system). By releasing the
preventive force, the sleeve can move to 4´2 state by the
spring force.

Neutral switch
The neutral switch detects the movement of the shift rod
driving the high-low sleeve.
PUSH close is achieved with the PUSH close switch when the
shift rod is positioned between the High and the Low, that is,
at the neutral state.

High-Low Sleeve & Arm


The spring standby mechanism is provided for the high-low
sleeve in both directions of the high-low shift rod. For this
reason, the rod position and the actual sleeve position may be
offset in some cases.
This system is provided to protect the shift mechanism from
the collision due to coincidence of the high and low phases of
the engaged splines. By giving rotational force to the
preventing phase coincidence, the splines are moved to the
proper engagement position by the spring force.

Shift actuator
The output shaft is rotated by the built-in motor and the
transfer position is switched.
Detection (limit) switches to detect the rotating angle of the
output shaft is provided to the actuator at 4 positions, which
are connected to the transfer controller through the vehicle
harness to constantly transmit the actuator operating angle
and changes in its transfer status.

It comprises 3 PUSH momentary switches. By keeping to push
the 2H and 4L switches for 10 seconds,
operation is instructed to the neutral position.
To shift from the neutral to other position, other required
switches should be pushed for 10 seconds.

Diagnosis
Before determining a trouble (Non-trouble mode)
1. When shifting from 2H to 4H:
1-1-1 When the flashing frequency of the 4WD indicator is changed from 2Hz to 4Hz (Shft on the fly)
If the load is too large to shift the gears synchronously, the operation is repeated up to 3 times. If the shifting
is not effected after being repeated 3 times, the indicator frequency is changed from 2Hz to 4Hz and, at the
same time, the actuator condition is changed to 2H, indicator flashes at 4Hz for 10 seconds, and then goes
out.
Cause of excessive synchronous shifting load
· Extremely low temperature (the oil viscosity of the front differential increases requiring a large load for
synchronization)
· High speed (since the difference of relative revolutions of gears to be shifted synchronously is too large,
required work load per unit time becomes larger).
Step 1-1-1:
Stop the vehicle or decrease the speed and operate as required again.

1-1-2 When the flashing frequency of the 4WD indicator is changed from 2Hz to 4Hz (Rigid and free wheel
Hub) / Block out of meshing spline.
Step 1-1-2:
Run the vehicle forward and backward several meters and operate as required again.

1-2 When the flashing of 4WD indicator at 2Hz continues more than 11.5 seconds (repetition of 3 times of
above No.1 is counted) (Shift on the fly)
If there is difference of revolutions and phases between the front wheel and axle, connecting the front wheel
and axle is difficult.
Until shifting in the transfer and connection of the front wheel and axle are completed*, the indicator flashes
at a frequency of 2Hz. In the above case, the indicator continues flashing at a frequency of 2Hz until the
connection of the front axle is completed. (If the shifting in the transfer is not completed, the flashing
frequency is changed to 4Hz (above No.1).)
By correcting the difference of relative revolutions and deviation of phases, the shifting can be completed.
Step 1-2:
While the vehicle is running, make sure of safety around the vehicle and accelerate or decelerate the
vehicle while going straight.
When the vehicle is at a stop, run the vehicle forward and backward several meters.

2. When shifting from 4H to 2H


2-1 When 4WD indicator continues flashing at 2Hz
When shifting from 4H to 2H, the 4WD indicator continues flashing at 2Hz until separation in the transfer and
the separation of the front wheel axle are completed*. When torsional torque is accumulated in the drive
system, separation in the transfer and separation of the front axle* is difficult. In such a case, they can be
separated by removing the torsional torque of the drive system.
Step 2-1:
While the vehicle is running, make sure of safety around the vehicle and accelerate or decelerate the
vehicle while going straight.
When the vehicle is in stop, run the vehicle several meters forward and backward.

*: Shift on the fly only.


TRANSFER CONTROL SYSTEM 7D1-35

3. Shifting from 4H to 4L
3-1 When the 4L indicator flashes at 2Hz
When shifting from 4H to 4L, the 4L indicator continues flashing at 2Hz until shifting in the transfer case is
completed. The phases of the engaged splines may sometimes deviated preventing completion of shifting.
By correcting the deviation of phases, shifting is completed.

Step 3-1:
(In case of AT): Set the select bar of the transmission to the D position.
(In case of MT): Set the lever of the transmission to a position allowing running and engage the clutch
gently.
At this time, some rotating force acts on the engaged splines, phase is corrected and the engagement is
completed.

3-2 When the 4L indicator flashes at 2Hz for 10 seconds and then keeps ON again (AT vehicle)
This condition occurs when torsional torque has been generated between the transmission and road surface
and the transfer standby mechanism cannot absorb it completely.

Step 3-2:
Set the select lever of the transmission to the N position. (Stepping on the brake pedal is effective at
this time.)

3-3 When the 4L indicator flashes at a frequency of 4Hz


Shifting from 4H to 4L is restricted.
When the vehicle is running, the transmission lever is at the running range and the engine speed is high (L4:
3000rpm or more V6: 2000rpm), the transfer cannot be shifted from 4H to 4L (restriction on operation).

Restriction on operation (Except 4JA1-LT)


The 4H, neutral and 4L shifting mechanism has no synchronization function. Therefore, if relative rotations in the
mechanism become excessive, shifting exerts adverse influence on the internal mechanism of the transfer. To
avoid such a trouble, vehicle condition is detected to restrict the operation (vehicle speed, engine speed and TM
position).
Requirement to restrict the speed: Vehicle should be in stop.
For the reason of the detection logic, time to wait for start of operation may be required.
A/T: If the vehicle is in stop for a long time at the TM running range (D, 1, 2) before operating the AT, waiting
time becomes longer (from 1 second to 3 minutes at the maximum).
M/T: If the vehicle is at stop with the clutch stepped on at the T/M running position (1 – R), the time to wait
becomes longer.
Waiting time means the time commencing from when other requirements (engine speed and T/M position) are
met to permission of the speed restriction. Operation during the waiting time is not permissible.
The waiting time is 1 second at the minimum and increases up to 5 seconds if the above condition continues 3
minutes. After that, the waiting time increases up to 3 minutes in 2 minutes.
When it is clear that the above condition has continued and reduction of waiting time is desirable, turn on or off
the ignition or start and stop the vehicle several meters.
Requirements for permission of restriction on engine speed: Engine speed should be decreased.
The engine speed of 3000rpm (V6: 2000rpm) or below is advisable.
Requirements for permission of restriction on T/M position restriction:
(AT) N range is recommendable
(MT) should be at the neutral.

These requirements for permission should be all met before the switch is operated. If the requirements are met
after operation, operation is not automatically effected but re-operation is required after permission is given.
7D1-36 TRANSFER CONTROL SYSTEM

Restriction on operation (4JA1-LT)


The 4H, neutral and 4L shifting mechanism has no synchronization function. Therefore, if relative rotations in the
mechanism become excessive, shifting exerts adverse influence on the internal mechanism of the transfer. To
avoid such a trouble, vehicle condition is detected to restrict the operation (vehicle speed, and TM position).
Requirement to restrict the speed: Vehicle should be in stop.
Requirements for permission of restriction on engine speed: Engine speed should be decreased.
The engine speed of 3000rpm (V6: 2000rpm) or below is advisable.
Requirements for permission of restriction on T/M position restriction:
should be at the neutral.

These requirements for permission should be all met before the switch is operated. If the requirements are met
after operation, operation is not automatically effected but re-operation is required after permission is given.

Note: Don’t’ accelerate engine speed a the time of this operation.

Step 3-3:
Stop the vehicle. (Close the accelerator and decrease the engine speed to below L4: 3000rpm, V6:
2000rpm.)
(In case of AT): Set the transmission select lever to the N position.
(In case of MT): Set the transmission lever to the neutral position. (Stepping on the clutch is
recommendable.) Push the 4L button.
If shifting operation is not completed (the lamp flashes at 2Hz), perform the step 3-1.

4. Shifting from 4L to 4H
4-1 When 4L indicator continues flashing at 2HZ
When shifting from 4L to 4H, the 4L indicator continues flashing at 2Hz until the shifting in the transfer case is
completed. Phases of engaged splines may deviate and the operation may not completed in some cases.
Shifting is completed by correcting the deviation of the splines.

Step 4-1: (same as step 3-1)


(In case of AT): Set the transmission select lever to the D position.
(In case of MT): Shift the transmission lever to a position allowing running and engage the clutch
gently.

4-2 When the indicator continues flashing at 2Hz for 10 seconds and then keeps on at 4L again (AT
vehicle)
This condition occurs when torsional torque has generated between the transmission and the road surface
(use of the parking position on a slope) and resistance against the separation of the driving force cannot be
fully by the waiting mechanism of the transfer.
Shifting is possible by using the brake also at the neutral position of the transmission

Step 4-2: (Same procedure as the step 3-2)


Set the transmission select lever to the N position.
(Leaving the brake lever and stepping it again is recommendable.)

4-3 When the 4L indicator flashes at 4HZ


Shifting from 4L to 4H is restricted.
When the vehicle is running, transmission lever is at the running range, and the engine speed is high, the
transfer 4L cannot be shifted to 4H.
TRANSFER CONTROL SYSTEM 7D1-37

Step 4-3: (Same procedure as the step 3-3)


Stop the vehicle (close the accelerator and decrease the engine speed to L4: 3000rpm V6: 2000rpm or
below).
(In case of AT): Set the transmission select lever to the N position.
(In case of MT): Set the transmission lever to the neutral position (stepping on the clutch lever is
recommendable).
Push the 4H button.
If the shifting is not completed (indicator flashes at 2Hz), go to the step 4-1.

5. When shifting from 4H or 4L to neutral


(Same procedure is required when shifting from 2H but in such a case, requirements for shifting from
2H to 4H are also applied.)
5-1 Neutral indicator continues flashing at 2Hz
The neutral indicator continues flashing at 2Hz until 4H (4L) is completely separated in the transfer. If
torsional torque has accumulated between the transmission and road surface, separation may be difficult.

Step 5-1:
If the operation is not completed, execute the step 7 for confirmation.
(In case of AT): Set the transmission select lever to the D position.
After confirming that the gears are at the neutral position, return the lever to the N
position.
(In case of MT): Set the transmission lever to a vehicle running position and engage the clutch gently.
After confirming that the gears are at the neutral position, return the lever to the
neutral position

5-2 When the neutral indicator flashes at 4Hz


As in the case of shifting from 4L to 4H, restriction is imposed to the operation from 4L or 4H (including 2H).
If the transmission lever is at a running range and engine speed is high (L4: 3000rpm, V6: 2000rpm or more)
while the vehicle is running, operation from the 4L or 4H (including 2H) of the transfer to the neutral is
impossible (restriction on operation).

Step 5-2:
Stop the vehicle.
(In case of AT): Set the transmission select lever to the N (or P) position.
(In case of MT): Set the transmission lever to the neutral position (at this time, stepping on the clutch
is recommended).
Keep pushing the 2H and 4L button for 10 second.
Follow the start procedure for confirmation. (Confirmation of drive force not transferred; same as in the
step 5-1)
After the confirmation, set the transmission to the neutral position in case of MT or to the neutral
position in case of AT.
7D1-38 TRANSFER CONTROL SYSTEM

6. When shifting from neutral to 2H, 4H or 4L


6-1 When the 4L indicator or 4WD indicator flashes at 2Hz
Indicator flashing at 2Hz indicates that the engagement of the splines has not completed because of
deviation of the spline phases. By eliminating such a deviation, shifting is completed (same as in the step 3-1
and 4-1).
6-2 When the 4L indicator or 4WD indicator flashes at 4Hz
As in the case of shifting from 4L to 4H, restriction is imposed to the operation to 4L or 4H (including 2H). If
the transmission lever is at a running range and engine speed is high (3000rpm or more) while the vehicle is
running, operation from neutral of the transfer to the 4L or 4H (including 2H) is impossible (restriction on
operation).

Step 6-2:
Stop the vehicle.
(In case of AT): Set the transmission select lever to the N (or P) position.
(In case of MT): Set the transmission lever to the neutral position (at this time, stepping on the clutch
is recommended).
Keep pushing the4H or 4L or 2H button for 10 second.
TRANSFER CONTROL SYSTEM 7D1-39

Trouble diagnosis based on the operation switch, transfer indicator lamp and operating
sound “Check 4WD” indicator ON (operation guard based on the transfer actuator
position detection error)
This condition indicates a faulty circuit related with the detection (limit) switches of the system actuator.
Detection (limit) switches detect the actuator operating angle based on their combinations.
The controller monitors transition of the actuator based on the combination of the detection (limit) switch output.
If the transition based on the combinations indicates some trouble, it is memorized, shifting operation is stopped
when the trouble is counted 5 times, and the “Check 4WD” indicator lights up. At this time, the system permits
operation to 2H only.
When such a condition results, inspection of the transfer shift actuator, check of harness related with the
detection (limit) switch, and erasure of the memory of the controller are required.
(Refer to the memory erasure procedure for the erasure of the memory.)
At this time, the position indicator may flash at 4Hz. It means that a detection (limit) switch trouble wad
detected in the operation process shown by that position indicator (example: 4WD indicator when shifting from
2H to 4H).

Caution:
In the course of trouble diagnosis and correction, do not turn ON the ignition with the harness connector of
the transfer actuator disconnected. (Do not disconnect the harness connector of the transfer actuator
when the ignition is ON.)
If the controller is connected at this condition, a limit SW trouble is judged and the above-described
“Check 4WD” condition is brought about.
This can be reset by clearing the memory.
When it is required to disconnect the harness connector of the actuator and turning the ignition ON,
remove the controller at the same time or remove the IG power fuse of the transfer controller.
7D1-40 TRANSFER CONTROL SYSTEM

Memory erasing procedure


1. Prepare two pieces of short harness with the end sharped
like a needle (bout 20cm(7.9 in) long).
2. Turn OFF the ignition.
3. Remove the front left seat ASM.
4. Make the controller under the front left seat ASM (spread
the cut of the floor carpet).

5. Keeping the connector of the transfer controller connected,


set the short harness from the back of the connector as
illustrated.
6. Turn ON the ignition, wait for 2 seconds, and turn OFF the
ignition after confirming the relay sound.
7. Disconnect the short harness, turn ON the ignition again,
and confirm the “Check 4WD” lamp in the meter panel is
OFF.
8. Before erasing the memory, check that the circuit of the T/F
actuator position detection harness, etc. for it are normal.

To check the operation after completing the repair and clearing the memory, shift between 2H and 4L 5 times at
least.
To judge the condition more quickly, ask the customer the situation when the Check4WD lamp lighted up.
When the position indicator blinks at a frequency of 4Hz immediately after occurrence of a trouble, position of
failure which the indicator shows may be limited.
(Since it indicates the situation immediately before detection of failure whether the vehicle is running or standstill so
that possibility of failure around that point is high.)
Status of the transfer when the Check4WD lights up is not always the same. Immediately after occurrence of the
failure, 2H can be operated.
