Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Transfer Control
The transfer hydraulic pressure control module is fitted with the transfer valve body attached to the rear end face of the transmission case via separate plate.
The hydraulic oil of the transfer hydraulic pressure control module is led from the oil pump delivery pressure circuit on the transmission case front to the transmission case rear. From there it is further fed to the hydraulic circuit of the transfer valve body.
The hydraulic oil pressure (line pressure) is regulated by the transfer duty solenoid and transfer control valve for obtaining optimum rear torque distribution corresponding to the driving conditions.
- The pilot pressure is regulated to the transfer duty pressure by the transfer duty solenoid whose duty ratio is controlled by the TCM corresponding to the driving condition. (The transfer duty pressure varies with the degree of duty control.)
- The transfer duty pressure is applied to the transfer control valve.
- The line pressure is led also to the transfer control valve where the pressure is regulated to the transfer clutch pressure by the transfer duty pressure. (The transfer clutch pressure varies with the transfer duty pressure.)
- The transfer clutch pressure is applied to the transfer clutch and causes the clutch to be engaged.
- In this way, the transfer clutch pressure is varied so that optimum rear torque distribution can be achieved which corresponds to the vehicle driving conditions.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
