03 X trail transfer case engagement problem


I am working on this X trail , the 4wd light is on as if it is in 4wd but it is not , pushing the buttons on the dash makes no difference in any gear , neutral park etc, the 4wd light stays on & nothing changes , the relay does not seem to be the problem as I jumped the relay with no change I assume there is a solinoid on the transfer case that is not working but still tripping the dash light somehow or damage in the transfer case where the solinoid is working but nothing is engaged inside .
 Thoughts ?
 Thanks for any help !

Re: 03 X trail transfer case engagement problem


When you said you bridged the 4WD relay, was that the power terminals or the control terminals ?

There are 3 things to check in the 4WD circuit which could cause a problem.
1. Faulty relay
2. Blown fuse
3. Disconnected or open circuit solenoid (the actual viscous clutch at the front of the rear diff).

If you have checked the relay with a new one, checked the fuse is good and checked the wiring continuity to the viscous clutch to make sure the wiring and solenoid are OK then it could be the connector on the 4WD control unit or the 4WD control unit output itself.

Since all your questions so far on the forum are about working on someone else's Xtrail, maybe you should invest in an Electronic Workshop Manual to help your diagnosis ?

I bridged the power terminals & checked the fuse .
 so I assume it is the solinoid so how would I check that ?
 I do not own an Xtrail , just trying to help out friends with Xtrails here in Panama .

There will be a connector under the Xtrail near the rear differential which you will be able to disconnect and test the continuity with a meter. For an 03 Xtrail it should read 2.45 Ohms
