w/o Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system: When the transfer select lever is put in "L" position, the center differential is put in LOCK condition regardless of the position of the center differential lock switch. gn (b) Using Braking Tester: Measure by low-speed type (vehicle speed: below 0.5 km/h or 0.3 mph) brake tester and observe the following instructions before performing the test. (1) Position the wheels to be tested (front or rear) on the tester. (2) Put the center differential in the FREE position. (3) If the vehicle is equipped with a Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system, prohibit the system from activating (see previous step).
(4) Shift the transmission shift lever to the "N" position. HINT: Do not forget to change the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) & Traction Control (TRAC) system to the operational condition after the test. Check that the VSC warning indicator light goes off when restarting the engine. (c) Using Speedometer Tester: Observe the following instructions and then measure with the rear wheels. (1) Position the rear wheels on the tester roller. (2) Position the front wheels on the free roller or jack them up. (3) Put the center differential in the FREE position.
(4) If the vehicle is equipped with a Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) & Traction Control (TRAC) system, prohibit the system from activating (see previous step). (5) Ensure that the vehicle does not move using wires. CAUTION: The maximum speed should be less than 60 km/h (37 mph) and maximum driving time should be 1 minute. HINT: Sudden shifting, braking, acceleration or deceleration is not allowed. Do not forget to change the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) & Traction Control (TRAC) system to the operational condition after the test. Check that the VSC warning indicator light goes off when restarting the engine. (d) Using Chassis Dynamometer:
Observe the following instructions and then measure with the rear wheels. (1) Remove the front propeller shaft. (2) Put the center differential in the LOCK position. (3) If the vehicle is equipped with a Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) & Traction Control (TRAC) system, prohibit the system from activating (see previous step). (4) Ensure that the vehicle is securely fixed in place. HINT: Sudden shifting, braking, acceleration or deceleration is not allowed. Do not forget to change the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) & Traction Control (TRAC) system to the operational condition after the test. Check that the VSC warning indicator light goes off when restarting the engine.
(e) On-Vehicle Wheel Balancing: When doing on-vehicle wheel balancing on a full-time 4WD vehicle, to prevent each wheel from being rotated at a different speed and in different directions (which could damage the center differential), always be sure to observe the following precautions. (1) All 4 wheels should be jacked up (lifted off of the ground completely). (2) Put the center differential in the LOCK position. (3) If the vehicle is equipped with a Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) & Traction Control (TRAC) system, prohibit the system from activating (see previous step). (4) The parking brake lever should be fully released. cardia
