FLUID LEAKAGE
Check transfer surrounding area (oil seal, drain plug, and filler plug etc.) for fluid leakage.
Scheme 51
- Remove filler plug (1) and gasket. Then check that fluid is filled up from mounting hole for the filler plug. CAUTION: Never start engine while checking fluid level.
- Before installing filler plug, set a new gasket. Install filler plug on transfer and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to " «EXPLODED VIEW»(ref-368804-S42890701032010081300000) ". CAUTION: Never reuse gasket.
Scheme 52
- Run the vehicle to warm up the transfer unit sufficiently.
- Stop the engine, and remove the drain plug (1) to drain the transfer fluid. CAUTION: When draining fluid, protect exhaust tube flange with cover.
- Apply sealant to drain plug. Install drain plug on transfer and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to " «EXPLODED VIEW»(ref-368804-S42890701032010081300000) ". Use Genuine Silicone RTV or equivalent. Refer to " «RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL PRODUCTS AND SEALANTS»(ref-368779-S01206784092010081300000) ". CAUTION: Remove old sealant adhering to mounting surfaces. Also remove any moisture, oil, or foreign material adhering to application and mounting surfaces.
Refilling
- Remove filler plug (1) and gasket. Then fill fluid up to mounting hole for the filler plug. Fluid and viscosity : Refer to " «FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS»(ref-368818-S36739250962010081300000) ". Fluid capacity : Refer to " «GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-368804-S27645971582010081300000) ". CAUTION: Carefully fill the fluid. (Fill up for approximately 3 minutes.)
- Leave the vehicle for 3 minutes, and check the fluid level again.
- Set a new gasket onto filler plug and install it on transfer and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to " «EXPLODED VIEW»(ref-368804-S42890701032010081300000) ". CAUTION: Never reuse gasket.
