CHASSIS — TRANSFER CH-93

J4WD SYSTEM
1. General
D The 4WD system used on the new Land Cruiser (Station Wagon) allows the driver to select the appropriate
mode from among the four drive modes by utilizing the transfer position switch and center differential
lock switch.
D Through these switch signals, the 4WD control ECU actuates the 2 shift motors in the transfer shift
actuator assembly.

4. System Operation

General

D The 4WD mode switching pattern of this system is as shown in the illustration below. The system
operation of each switching pattern is explained from the next page.
D When the vehicle speed is below approximately 100km/h (62mph), free-lock switching of the center
differential lock (switching patterns A to D) is available while the vehicle is running.
D The H4-L4 switching of the transfer gear ratio (switching patterns E to H) is available only when the
vehicle is stationary and the shift position is N*.
*: For models equipped with the manual transmission, when the vehicle is stationary and the clutch pedal
is being depressed.

*1: For models without A-TRC, L4F is not available even when the transfer gear is switched from H to
L in H4F mode. The mode changes from H4F to H4L, then to L4L. In addition, the center differential
locks.
*2: For models without A-TRC, L4F is not available even when the center differential is switched from
free to lock in L4L mode. The operation will be canceled.

Switching Pattern : A (H4F ® H4L)

D In H4F mode, when the center differential lock switch is turned on, the 4WD control ECU actuates the
center differential lock shift motor to move the center differential lock shift fork shaft right.
Simultaneously, the shift fork moves right together with the fork shaft. As a result, the center differential
lock sleeve engages the differential case and the drive sprocket hub, and the mode changes to H4L.
D The 4WD control ECU detects the state of the center differential through the limit switch and center
differential lock position switch. The 4WD control ECU causes the center differential lock indicator light
to turn ON when the center differential is locked.
