Prado 4 speed auto wiring help please?

Post by petefj40 »

There are three sensors on the right side of the auto/transfer case in my buggy.
Anyone know what each do?

-The one on the left has a broken wire.
-The one in the middle is wired up.
-The one on the right isn't.

Cheers for any help!!

Dont know what the middle one is cause I cant see it in the pic, but the two that are visible are transfercase switches. One turns the 4wd light on in the dash and the other tells the computer its in low range so it changes shift patterns (not needed/ doesnt work with your 1uz computer)

Cheers Sam. But I wouldn't know what I was looking at. :lol:
i just needed to know if any of the wiring was needed for my setup.

Thanks Turoa.
The sensor you can't make out on the far right has a white cover over the wires. You can see where it bolts into the transfer case.

Those are transfercase switches / sensors.
Nothing to do with the auto....
Image
1= 4WD switch, activates when front shaft is engaged.
2= Low 4, activates when transfer-case selected to Low.
3= Transfer-case Neutral switch.
