COMPONENTS FUNCTION

Component parts	Function
Transfer control unit	Controls transfer control device and switches 4H<=>4LO under 4WD condition and 2WD<=>4WD.
Transfer control device	Actuator motor and actuator position switch are integrated so as to switch driving modes.
Actuator motor	Controls shift rod by signals from transfer control unit.
Actuator position switch	Detects actuator motor position.
Wait detection switch	Detects if transfer is under 4WD condition.
4LO switch	Detects if transfer is under 4LO condition.
ATP switch (for A/T models)	Detects if transfer is under neutral condition.
4WD shift switch	Able to select from 2WD, 4H or 4LO.
4WD warning lamp	Illuminates if malfunction is detected in electrical system of 4WD system. There is 1 blink in 2 seconds if rotation difference of front wheels and rear wheels is large.
4WD shift indicator lamp	Displays driving condition selected by 4WD shift switch.
4LO indicator lamp	Displays 4LO condition.
PNP switch (for M/T models)	Detects that manual transmission is under neutral condition.
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)	Transmits the following signals via CAN communication to Transfer control unit. Vehicle speed signal Stop lamp switch signal (brake signal)
TCM (for A/T models)	Transmits the following signal via CAN communication to Transfer control unit. Output shaft revolution signal A/T position indicator signal (PNP switch signal)
ECM	Transmits engine speed signal via CAN communication to Transfer control unit.
