Cheers to New Zealand! You are so knowledgeable on this wonderful old technology! Would you have a minute to help me on my diagnosis? I am trying to fix my mothers 185 4 Runner 1996 Automatic 3.4 V6. Only 100.000 km in pristine condition and absolute hassle free for the last 10 years… one of the best cars out there you might agree! We had the 4x4 symbol in the dashboard blinking for a while… so today I grabbed my multimeter to measure out the components… The 4x4 pushbutton works, open loop and closed loop. The J-Lever position sensors work. The brown and blue ADD VSV in the engine bay work upon applying 12V to the pins ( each opens and delivers good vacuum to the font diff) The two transfercase position sensor work (open and closed loop when pushing on them) The electric motor of the transfer case works when supplying 12v to the pins back and forth… (I was most happy about that) Now here is my question: The plug running to the electric motor ( 5 pin ( 3 wires for the position contact spool and two big wires for the voltage to the motor)) doesn’t supply any voltage no matter what position I put the J Gear selector or the 4x4 button. Similar are the two plugs to the VSV Valves for the front, they send 12Volts each and do not modulate the Voltage between the brown and blue Valve, No matter what I switch on the gear selector. I spent a few days in forums and on RUclips to gather knowledge on the system. I now suspect a faulty ECU or a relay that might be the issue. My mom is on an island with lots of corrosion issues due to salty moist air which might contribute… Am I on the right track? Your words would be highly appreciated! Thanks, Christian!
More great vids Kelvin. Be great to see a valve shim job on a 1UZ. Just about to tackle this myself, going to attempt to get all valves as close to factory specs as I can.
@@Airman.. All valves were actually in spec, one was a tad tight. There is a slight noise at idle when warm and from my research it seems that it's coming from the wave washer between the scissor gears. Only function is to preload scissor gears at idle. Thats going to be left alone as it doesn't effect performance etc.
I’ve got the lights flashing permanent on the dash; so I changed my solenoid (bigger plug) as it had no continuity. Other 3 are fine. I’ve got vacuum at the 2 little plugs on the top hose (with the t piece that goes from 1-2) not on the lower 2 No vac going to the actuator on the casing, button or shifter doesn’t seem to do anything. Stuck in 2wd 1996 1kz auto
Hey mate, great video thanks! Can you elaborate on which wires you have to hook up on the 4wd unit to get it to engage? I can see blue is on positive and you use the small pink on ground for the switch, is there other ones? I've done a manual conversion on my kzn130 and it's not engaging. Either way thank you for the video and the knowledge!
I have a video for paying customers to purchase which includes some wiring diagrams and hints. Presently $75nzd for access. Info@thecartunecompany.co.nz if interested
Hey man, my 4wd light is flashing on a surf have jacked up all 4 wheels and both front and rear drive shafts are spinning and when it’s on ground and i put it in 4wd the front drive shafts lock up any pointers to fix it as doing my head in. Could it be front differential actuator. Forgot to mention 0 funny noises are present
Awesome video! I’m going through this 4x4 issue I’m wondering if there’s way to check my dash lights ...I can hear it trying to engage but my wheels wont lock and their is no 4x4 light at all on dash?
Hello Chris. Yes its easy to check the 4x4 light. Easiest way is to bridge it at the 4x4 ecu if it is a surf. Test light into the ECU terminal. Cheers Kelvin
Hi mate just wondering where the spring loaded shaft is. Did you lock it in between the 2 humps on the bottom? So we the motor turns it winds up the spring? Or should it spin freely?
Hello kevin i' m Dennis form Malta . can you please show me hoe to install ECU 4X4 TOYOTA 1989 HILUX I have a problem on supply on wiring to find how connection ECU THANK YOU
Hi guys , love the vid. Just wondering if you could give us the part number for the o rings on the actuator as Toyota has no part number for these that I can find !
Hi guys , there is 4 o rings on the transfer case actuator assembly in this vid. As Toyota doesn’t stock them do you know where I might be able to purchase aftermarket? By the way this is the best vid. Out there on servicing these units so cheers for that !!! All the best , Rob
Hi mate i have actuator exactly the same as your actuator but my problem is the motor is keep on stucking even sometime i remove the gear drive...is that necessary to put vacuum on the small hose connected back on the actuator or that only a ventilation can you please help me mate...to know you this is converted one no control just only a rocket swith..the original transfer case is manual and my truck is ln106 toyota hilux 1996 model
Hello Ricky. Hose is ventilation only. Often using a rocker switch overloads the motor and stuffs them. I would be pulling the unit apart and checking it over. Cheers Kelvin.
I recently bought a R151f with one of these on it which Im gunna put my 1uz and drop into a first gen 4runner. I don’t have the t case shifter or a 4wd computer. Is it worth trying to chase these bits down or can I go without it?
Ive already diagnosed one totally stuffed engagement motor due to a guy thinking he could just wire a switch and it burnt out the unit. I nearly always use the ecu to make it function correctly. I generally also use the correct shifter as they are easy to use and work as they should, often its more work making something else fit.
I could sell lots of these if I had them. I purchase from the local dismantlers when I need one , which isnt very often as I'm pretty good at fixing them now. Cheers Kelvin
@@CartuneNZ Thanks for the info mate. I had wondered if that was an option. Putting an R series into my Solid Axle LN106 and wondered if it was OK to run 2wd Low. The Surf ECUs are $300 in Aus - so going to have to do some wiring haha.
Do you have any old actuators that are broken? Im in Christchurch and one of the magnets from the top cap has smashed. Desperately need one! Do you have a shop?
Ive have my own test unit left, which is a mash up of all the repairs, and then complete ones with transfer cases destined for jobs so non for sale at present. Yes I have a workshop and sell parts all around the world. Cheers Kelvin
How about a part number for the actuator? These are being imported to the US and we cant get parts for the actuators or replacements and this is the only place I've seen any information on them.
Hello, how're you? I have a question and you might be able to help me please. I have a 1995 Hilux Surf and I'm not sure if the 4wd is working properly. When I press the 4wd button on the gear stick the 4wd light turns on straight away but when I press again it wont turn off. After I turn the truck off and come back after a few hours, then the light will be off. I've a done a test: jacked up the vehicle, 4 wheels of the ground, 4wd switch off, 4wd light off, auto gear box on D (drive), both rear wheels + front right wheel were spinning. Was that meant to happen? Was the front right wheel supposed to be getting power if the vehicle isn't on 4wd?? I guess the 4wd is stuck on? Thank you
@@CartuneNZ I didn't try holding the front wheel, it was a bit fast, I wasn't sure if I should. With the engine off, 4 wheels off the ground, if I turn rear drive shaft by hand, front drive shaft also moves, it is engaged. It is stuck on 4wd. I will remove the transfer case actuator and see what I can find. Thanks for your reply.
I will also ditch the ADD system as I installed a front lunchbox locker and free wheel hubs, this way the ADD system is redundant. I will leave on lock all the time. So I only need the trans case actuator working properly. Cheers
Hi there. My Gen3 has the A340F trans in it. My shift motor won't work, is it completely different shift motor to any other Hilux model? Or is it interchangeable with one form a different model?
The Gen 3 actuator that I have seen are different to the gen 2 units. I purchase replacement from local dismantlers myself as required so maybe thats your best option. Cheers Kelvin
@@CartuneNZ hard to find them in the UK as them shifts motors are the first things to be scavenged! I noticed you said the buttons can fail, is this a really common thing? See my front prop doesn't spin freely all the way around, it has some play and then locks up. If I flick the lever in the box all the way forward with a screwdriver then the front diff locks up, but I can't understand how it's doing that when clearly something electrical is at fault?
Where would u suggest to start trouble shooting on my kzn185 1kz surf. the 4wd button doesnt do anything no lights and I dont hear any click from the actuator, will engage into low and high in the stick but no lights at all and stays in rwd
Hello. I would check button itself switches, they are prone to issues. Then I head towards the actuator and test that. Ive fixed a few of those now. There are also the vacuum lines to front diff, wiring to front diff gets damaged. Hopefully thats helpful. Cheers Kelvin
@@CartuneNZ haha months ago I brought the truck now finally getting round to investigating it. reason there were no lights is because the fuse was removed (facepalm) I applied a voltage to the motor and it engaged! woohoo! now can't get it to disengage, tried reversing the polarity with no luck! I will try take it off transfer case tomorrow and hopefully get it back together before work Monday haha
Hey legend , been watching slot of your content (great stuff) I'm doing a conversion on my fj60 series (1uz and a340) could I still use a surf transfer (add) on my 60 series from diff (manual hubs ) ? Any help would be awesome , cheers legend
Hello. The landcruiser have the offset diff housing and so have the transfer case output to the rear offset. The surf on the other hand have the central diff housing and have the transfer output to match. I prefer to have matching parts on these instead of having a crazy double angle on the driveshaft which I really dont like. Cheers Kelvin

Thats why I made the video. So you can watch, learn and fix yourself. Cheers Kelvin.
