  HINT:
  - When the transfer gear is off the position, shift fork of the actuator could not operate.
  - When switching is impossible, jack down the vehicle to move it back and forth, and then check it again.
4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
5. Check the operating sound produced by center differential lock switch operation.
If the operating sound cannot be heard, check the four wheel drive control ECU and the wire harness in the next step. When the wire harness and four wheel drive control ECU is normal, replace the actuator.
INSPECT FOUR WHEEL DRIVE CONTROL ECU
1. Connect the wire harness side connector to the four wheel drive control ECU and inspect wire harness side connector from the back side, as shown.
