Intermittent Failures
The term "intermittent failure" means a system may
have had a failure, but it checks OK now. If the
malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the dash does not

Electronic Control System
The functions of the fuel and emission control systems are managed by the
powertrain control module (PCM).
Self-diagnosis
The PCM detects a failure of a signal from a sensor
If you ever have a moderate to
severe frontal collision, sensors will
detect the vehicle’s rapid
deceleration.
If the rate of deceleration is high
enough, the control unit will inflate
the driver’s and front passenger’s
airbags, at the time and with the
force needed.
During
Inspection
1. Set the dial indicator (A) on the companion flange
(B).
2. Measure the transfer gear backlash.
Standard: 0.06-0.16 mm (0.02-0.06 in.)
3. Secure the transfer housing (A) in a bench vise (B)
with soft jaws. To prevent damage to the transfer
housing, always use soft jaws or equivalent
