WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Nissan Pathfinder. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

COMPONENTS FUNCTION

Component parts	Function
Transfer control unit	Controls transfer control device and control valves.
Transfer control device	Actuator motor and actuator position switch are integrated so as to switch driving types.
2-4WD shift solenoid valve	Controls oil pressure and allows selection between 2WD and 4WD.
Clutch pressure solenoid valve	Controls oil pressure and distributes torque (front and rear).
Line pressure switch	Detects line pressure.
Clutch pressure switch	Detects clutch pressure.
Transfer fluid temperature sensor	Detects transfer fluid temperature.
Wait detection switch	Detects whether or not 4WD lock gear is locked.
Neutral-4LO switch	Detects that transfer is under neutral-4LO condition (or shifting through neutral).
ATP switch	Detects that transfer is under neutral condition.
4WD shift switch	Allows selection from 2WD, AUTO, 4H or 4LO.
4WD warning lamp	Illuminates if malfunction is detected in electrical system of 4WD system. There is 1 blink every 2 seconds if rotation difference of front wheels and rear wheels is large. There is 2 blinks every 1 second if high transfer fluid temperature is detected.
ATP warning lamp	Indicates that A/T parking mechanism does not operate when A/T selector lever is in "P" position and transfer is under neutral condition.
4WD shift indicator lamp	Displays driving condition selected by 4WD shift switch.
4LO indicator lamp	Displays 4LO condition.
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)	Transmits vehicle speed signal via CAN communication to transfer control unit.
TCM	Transmits the following signals via CAN communication to transfer control unit. Output shaft revolution signal A/T position indicator signal (PNP switch signal)
ECM	Transmits the following signals via CAN communication to transfer control unit. Engine speed signal Accelerator pedal position signal
