10. WHEN SERVICING FULL-TIME 4WD VEHICLES

The Full-time 4WD FJ CRUISER is equipped with a
mechanical lock type center differential system.
During tests using a brake tester or chassis
dynamometer, such as braking force tests or
speedometer tests, if only the front or rear wheels are to
be rotated, it is necessary to set the position of the center
differential to FREE or LOCK depending on the type of
test being performed.

11. WHEN TESTING BRAKES, SPEEDOMETER, ETC.

(a) When carrying out any kind of servicing or testing

on a Full-time 4WD in which the front or rear wheels
are to be rotated (braking test, speedometer test),
be sure to observe the precautions given below.
Incorrect preparations or test procedures may
cause danger as well as unsuccessful test results.
Before starting any such servicing or test, be sure to
check the following items:
•

Center differential mode position (FREE or
LOCK)

Transfer Shift Lever

Center Differential
Lock Indicator Light

H or N

•

Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system:
If the vehicle is equipped with the system, the slip
indicator light, the VSC / TRAC indicator light and
the VSC OFF indicator light come on with the
ignition switch turned to ON. They will go off after
about a few seconds.

•

Whether wheels should be touching ground or
jacked up

•

Transmission gear position (N position)

•

Transfer gear position (H or L position)

•

Maximum testing vehicle speed

•

Maximum testing time

(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 an 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 test 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) Deactivate the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) &

Traction Control (TRAC) system.

(5) Ensure that the vehicle does not move using

chains.
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 an 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) Deactivate the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) &

Traction Control (TRAC) system.

(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 an 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) Deactivate the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) &

Traction Control (TRAC) system.

(4) The parking brake lever should be fully released.
(5) None of the brakes should be applied.
(6) The wheels should be driven on the wheel

balancer with the engine running.

(7) Carry out the wheel balancing with the

transmission in the D position.
HINT:
•

When doing the wheel balancing, pay
attention to the other wheels rotating at the
same time.

•

Sudden acceleration, deceleration or braking
is not allowed.

•

Do not forget to change the Vehicle Stability
Control (VSC) & Traction Control (TRAC)
system to an operational condition after the
test. Check that the VSC warning indicator
light goes off when restarting the engine.

12. WHEN TOWING FULL-TIME 4WD VEHICLES

•

Use one of the methods shown below to tow the
vehicle.

•

If the vehicle has trouble in the chassis and drive
