Hi Ray, Electronics guy here. I noticed on the diagrams that the motor wires go directly to the control box. Connect your meter leads to the "motor" pins on the control box and check for power as you are selecting 2 or 4 wheel drive. The polarity should change depending on engaging or disengagement. It appears that the limit switches on the motor drive, apply a ground to the control box. Check the pins of the respective switch contacts for a high or low depending on transmission selection. You could also disconnect control box and apply power to the motor contacts. Think power windows, same concept, you should hear the motor operate. Anyways, good luck and thanks for the musings of a mechanic.

@MrLekatt Год назад

@-_Robert_- Год назад

How do you like tests with meter only? I think, Ray should test continuity using BULB to load circuit. Meter can easy cheat him. And any tests should be done also by using BULB in series.

@chuck10088 Год назад

@@-_Robert_- Hi Robert, While you're right that a load should be used, I just wanted to find out if any power was delivered to the pins and if the polarity reversed when changing transmission states. Looking at the nightmare of getting to the front transmission, I thought it might be easier to test under the dash. (I use easier as the lesser of two evils) Thanks.

I found your channel while surfing U Tube. Very interesting and professional. Did my first brake job the other day on a 2006 Toyota Rav 4 after watching many of your brake job videos. At 70 and retired, the wife unit and I enjoy your daily videos. I also have a 2014 Ram 1500 that had the dry spline issue on the drive shaft. That also went smoothly but was surprised that the splines were about 24" long. I indexed the flange and the splines so it went back in the exact orientation that it came off. Cleaned what grease was there, re-greased and repair is complete. You were correct about not having to remove the complete shaft for this repair. Hydraulic jacks and jack stands were used.

Just a note: When using the shop vac for water, the paper filter will get wet and in time…Moldy. I usually pull the paper filter because water will prevent dust from blowing out, or make sure to pull the filter afterwards and make sure it dries out. Don’t want to blow mold spores every time you switch on the vacuum. Love your shows!

Who bothers with paper filters in their shop vac anymore, there are reusable ones that you can pop out and are washable, they also don't allow dust to blow out the exhaust like paper filters do, if you don't use one it's worth getting one, I have them in all my shoo vac, I have four vacs one without a filter that I use specifically for water, I have a fifth one that's ten gallons that I loaned to a friend to vacuum out his eight person spa many years ago, but unfortunately it's buried somewhere in his garage, he's a hoarder so I may never see it again, it's a genie that I found in a dumpster, people throw good stuff sometimes.

Ray, I have A 2004 Tundra Double Cab 4x4 and A 2006 Sequoia 4x4 and Toyotas are known for 4x4 actuator problems coming for not using them regularly. The grease on the contacts inside the actuators will harden up and keep the contacts from making a good connection. My 2006 Sequoia had problems and I took the front actuator off and cleaned the old, hardened grease off and put new grease in it and all was well. Now about once per month I will activate the 4x4 and the 4LO also and drive them a short distance to keep the 4x4 system working. There may even be something about this in the owner's manual. Long time viewer. Great channel.

That is one of those instances where you can recommend a evaporator coil cleaning. Since the clog has been removed you can get some coil cleaner that is foam spray it up the tube and let it sit for awhile to clean the coil or just take the drain hose off and spray in the hole for the hose directly to clean the coil.

My truck is highly modified for off-road use. The armor saves all those expensive things under the truck. The trade off is that the front skid plate has to be removed to service the front differential and many other parts.The amount of time it takes the me or my mechanic to do that is far less expensive than the undercarriage parts that would have been destroyed were it not there. That is the price you pay when you modify your vehicle so you can go have fun! Worth every penny to me.

@michaelcole8196 Год назад

What I've done in the past is just stick a long tie strap into the bottom of the hose (like a snake) to loosen the obstruction and let the water drain out. Works very well. U can also run the square tip first too to push stubborn crap a little to loosen it up.

Hey Ray, You might want to pull the sensors from the top of the t case you showed and measure the resistance on those as they move in and out.

Had a 2000 Pont Grand Prix. You could actually hear when the heater/blower motor filled with water and see water dripping out through the bottom of the motor. Under warranty, they would blow the blockage back into the system, and within a few days the problem would be back. After the third blower motor in 2 months, they told me they would refuse to cover any more under warranty as I only had a couple of months left on the warranty. Took the car to a local guy who did what you did. That was the last GM I ever owned.

@Gadget0343 Год назад

When the transfer case goes into 4x4 high or 4x4 low it will command the front diff actuator to engage. There is a position switch there and once it has engaged the light on the dash will turn on. The rear locker will only engage in 4x4 low after pushing the dash switch. If the 4x4 engagement does not complete with the signal from the front diff, that will not work either.

The AC is doing its job removing humidity, cooling and cleaning the air. By the looks of the snorkel kit they must play in swampy areas or drive across rivers. There will probably be lots of corrosion inside the actuators. How much water has entered the diffs and contaminated the oil. It's going to be fun either way getting access to the front diff module.

A test light is a better way to check a circuit- 1. You can see if the light lights- don't have to look away toward your meter. 2. A multimeter will show voltage even if the circuit is not complete- a test light proves the circuit can carry a load. You can test the plug on the front diff to see if you are getting a signal to the motor from the ECU. If you are getting signal and the diff is not locking, then you know it's in the diff motor.

I totally understand “flag time” used in flat rate but all bets are off when the vehicle has been altered in such a manner. The kit manufacturers don’t care about this type of problem and a Toyota dealer might find it and call you to bring it to someone else for repairs. Great find Ray.

Oh Ray-Ray. Shop vac and a wire to rod out the hose. Pump a bit of Simple Green or Royal Purple up into her and suck it out. Pump in some water and vac it again. Pump? Yeah from one of those junker washer bottles in the yard with integrated pump. Wa-frikkin'-la! Good vids dude. Especially the non-fidget ones! Shop's looking good.

Fabtech should have made that plate, to where you could unbolt it, so you have access to that actuator.. so you didn't have to take everything apart to work on that...

I would've hooked the scan tool up to it to see if there is codes pertaining to the issue then went from there to get a start

For the resistor and other tight screwdriver spaces, I'd get a 1/4" drive bit adapter and use an electric ratchet. It's far quicker and requires less activity. I have to fix cars with only one arm and using electric tools is faster and easier since I can't stabilize tools while in use. But for you, being whole and healthy, it'd save time, and when working on cars, time is money.

FJ has a rear locker switch. It might be up by the rear view mirror in that 2013 Trail Teams.

"Same Difference" can be a valid statement, depending on how you use it. It was originally a math term. For example, 9-7=2 and 5-3=2. They have the same difference. So if you are comparing things and they are relatively the same in one way, minus all other features, they have the same difference. In this video, Ray refers to a bolt and a screw, and says, "same difference," referring to the fact that they are both threaded fasteners. They are the same in that way, minus the type of threads and required tooling. I would have to say he used it correctly.

@Dave-ty2qp Год назад

Interesting analogy. Next time I need to use a fastner to secure a clamp to a stud, i'll try your math formula and see if a bolt is the same differance as a nut and see if it works. Nope, misgendered. Shucks. 😀

@michaeltaylor5939 Год назад

@@Dave-ty2qp I did say "minus all other features." That's why it's "same difference," because there is a difference.

I remember when four wheel drive systems was simple you just had a shifter and lockouts modifications and all this electronic stuff just makes life a lot more complicated great diagnosis have a great day

@blahorgaslisk7763 Год назад

Yea, this system has me confused. At least if it's designed to work as Ray explains it. Why would putting the jeep in low 4-wheel drive enable the diff-lock? That should always be something you enable as needed. Now if it was a limited slip differential then that's one thing, but locking the differential make the jeep a lot harder to wrestle around obstacles. So is that really what these are designed to do or did I missunderstand?

Still a very good diagnosis video regardless of the roadblock. 👍👍👍

Go back to circuit testing the front unit, but from the most convenient place in between the control and the servo. If command is present, but you get no return, then you narrowed it further... ...oh no! You haven't got a rack! That sucks!
