A.D.D. Control System: Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Toyota 4Runner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:

First judge that the malfunction is found in A.D.D. control system or in 2 - 4 selector system. See TOUCH SELECT 2-4 SWITCH (4RUNNER) .

  1. Inspect clutch hub and clutch sleeve  :
    1. Check the wear and damage of the clutch hub and clutch sleeve.

      If necessary, replace them.

    2. Check that clutch sleeve slides smoothly on the clutch hub.
  2. Using a feeler gauge, Measure clearance of sleeve fork and clutch sleeve

    1. Maximum clearance: 0.35 mm (0.0138 in.) 

    If the clearance exceeds the maximum, replace the fork or sleeve

  3. Inspect A.D.D. actuator  :
    1. Disconnect the actuator connector.
    2. Measure the resistance between the terminals 2 and 6.
      1. Standard resistance: 0.3 -100 MΩ 
    3. Measure the resistance between the terminals 2 or 6 and body ground.
      1. Standard resistance: More than 0.5 MΩ 

      If the resistance value is not as specified, replace the actuator assembly.

  4. Inspect A.D.D. actuator operation  :

    Apply battery positive voltage between the terminal 2 or 6, and check the actuator operation by sound, A.D.D. status and continuity between the terminal 3 and 4.

  6. Inspect transfer 4WD position switch. See  DIAGNOSIS  in TRANSFER CASE under TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION. 
  7. Remove A.D.D. actuator. See  A.D.D. CONTROL SYSTEM  . 
  8. Inspect clutch hub and clutch sleeve  :

    Check the clutch hub and clutch sleeve for wear and damage. If necessary, replace them.
