Dynamometer/Roller Test, Lock Out Rear Wheel Drive (A/T) 4WD

FULL TIME AWD AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (AT) MODELS





Before checking or servicing cars with the front wheels raised or on rollers (Brake Tester, Chassis Dynamometer, etc.), always set the car in Front Wheel Drive (FWD) Mode. To set the car in the FWD mode, disconnect the All Wheel Drive (AWD) AWD circuit by INSERTING a fuse in the FWD Connector inside the Engine compartment. Also chock the rear wheels firmly.

CAUTION: Ensure that the FWD pilot light is on. If the car is left in the AWD mode, it will surge abruptly when the wheels turn, possibly damaging the Transfer Clutch.
