INFOID:0000000011894427

OIL LEAKAGE

Check transfer surrounding area (oil seal, drain plug, filler plug, and transfer case, etc.) for oil leakage.

OIL LEVEL

1.

Remove filler plug (1) and gasket. Then check that oil is filled up
(A) from mounting hole for the filler plug.

2.

Before installing filler plug, set a new gasket. Install filler plug on
transfer and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to 

DLN-146,

"Exploded View"

 .

CAUTION:

Never reuse gaskets.

TRANSFER OIL (TY30A) : Draining

INFOID:0000000011894428

1.

Run the vehicle to warm up the transfer unit sufficiently.

2.

Stop the engine and remove drain plug (1) and gaskets to drain
the transfer oil.

CAUTION:

Never remove tooth contact test hole plug (2).

3.

Before installing drain plug, set a new gasket. Install drain plug
on transfer and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to 

DLN-

146, "Exploded View"

 .

CAUTION:

Never reuse gaskets.

TRANSFER OIL (TY30A) : Refilling

INFOID:0000000011894429

1.

CHASSIS MAINTENANCE

Check each fixing bolt and nut for looseness using torque wrench. For each tightening torque, refer to 

DLN-

175, "Exploded View"

.

BACKLASH OF JOINT PART

Move the joint of propeller shaft up and down and from side to side
(axial direction of shaft and right angle to shaft) to check that the joint
has no backlash. If the joint has a malfunction, remove propeller
shaft and perform inspection.

BACKLASH OF CENTER BEARING

Move the shaft near center bearing up and down and from side to
side (axial direction of shaft and right angle to shaft) to check that the
bearing has no backlash. If the bearing has a malfunction, remove
propeller shaft and perform inspection.

APPEARANCE AND NOISE

• Check the propeller shaft tube surface for dents or cracks. If malfunction is detected, replace propeller shaft

assembly.

• If center bearing is noisy or damaged, replace propeller shaft assembly.

VIBRATION

If vibration is present at high speed, adjust the propeller shaft phase first.
1.

Check the propeller shaft for bend and damage. If damaged, replace propeller shaft assembly.

2.

Perform a cruise test drive to check the propeller shaft for runout. If vibration occurs, separate propeller
shaft at final drive companion flange; then change the phase between electric controlled coupling stud bolt
and propeller shaft by the one bolt hole at a time and install propeller shaft.

3.

If vibration is still detected, measure propeller shaft runout after removing it. Refer to 

DLN-178, "Inspec-

tion"

.

• Remove filler plug (1) and check oil level from filler plug mounting

hole as shown in the figure.

CAUTION:

Never start engine while checking oil level.

• Set a new gasket on filler plug and install it on final drive assembly.

Refer to 

DLN-198, "Exploded View"

CAUTION:

Never reuse gasket.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL GEAR OIL : Draining

INFOID:0000000011497380

1.

Stop engine.

2.

Remove drain plug (1) and drain gear oil.

3.

Set a new gasket on drain plug and install it to final drive assem-
bly and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to 

DLN-198,

"Exploded View"

.

CAUTION:

Never reuse gasket.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL GEAR OIL : Refilling

INFOID:0000000011497381

1.

Remove filler plug (1). Fill with new gear oil until oil level reaches
the specified level near filler plug mounting hole.

2.

After refilling oil, check oil level. Set a new gasket to filler plug,
then install it to final drive assembly. Refer to 

DLN-198,

CHASSIS MAINTENANCE

WHEELS (BONDING WEIGHT TYPE) : Wheel Balance Adjustment (Aluminum 
Wheel)

INFOID:0000000011497383

PREPARATION BEFORE ADJUSTMENT

Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape from the road wheel.

CAUTION:

• Never scratch the road wheel during removal.
• After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the road

wheel.

ADJUSTMENT

• The details of the adjustment procedure are different for each model of wheel balancer. Therefore, refer to

each instruction manual. 

• If a tire balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode settings and drive-in weight mode setting,

select and adjust a drive-in weight mode suitable for aluminum wheels.

1.

Set road wheel on tire balance machine using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.

2.

When inner and outer unbalance values are shown on the tire balance machine indicator, multiply outer
unbalance value by 5/3 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight
with a value closest to the calculated value above and install to the designated outer position of, or at the
designated angle in relation to the road wheel.

CAUTION:

• Never install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight.
• Before installing the balance weight, always to clean the mating surface of the road wheel.

a.

Indicated unbalance value 

×

 5/3 = balance weight to be installed

Calculation example:
23 g (0.81 oz) 

×

 5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) 

⇒

 40 g (1.41 oz) bal-

ance weight (closer to calculated balance weight value)
NOTE:
Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated
balance weight value.
Example:
37.4 

⇒

 35 g (1.23 oz)

37.5 

⇒

 40 g (1.41 oz)

b.

Installed balance weight in the position.
