Some 2004 – 2009 model year Highlander, 2001 – 2005 model year RAV4, and 2004 – 2010 model year Sienna AWD (4WD) vehicles may display a transmission ?uid or gear oil seepage from a vent on the right side of the transfer case. The seepage is from the transfer RH (right-hand) bearing retainer No. 2 oil seal. Production improvements have been implemented to prevent this condition from occurring. Follow the repair procedure in this bulletin to replace the RH bearing retainer No. 2 oil seal assembly.

The A4WD system is an electronic shift 4×4 system that allows the operator to choose between three different 4×4 modes as well as 2-wheel drive. The operator can switch between 2WD, A4WD, and 4WD HIGH modes at speed. To engage or disengage LOW Range, the vehicle speed must be less than 5 kph, the brake depressed, and the transmission must be in NEUTRAL. A4WD In A4WD, the generic electronic module (GEM) varies the torque split between front and rear drivelines by controlling the transfer case clutch. Under most conditions, the GEM activates the transfer case clutch at a minimum duty cycle (percentage of time the clutch is turned on) which allows for slight speed differences between the front and rear driveshafts which normally occurs when negotiating a corner on dry pavement. When the rear wheels are overpowered, the GEM detects this slip condition, and the duty cycle to the transfer case clutch is increased until the speed difference between driveshafts is reduced. In this manner, the GEM can redirect up to 50% of engine torque to the front wheels when the rear wheels lose traction, yet still allow operation in the A4WD mode on dry pavement without driveline wind-up. NOTE: When the ABS system is active, the GEM will default to a minimum duty cycle for the transfer case clutch. Feature Inputs: 4WD mode switch (various resistances). Front/rear driveshaft speed sensors (Hall effect sensor output: 26.67 Hz/mph). ABS active input (battery voltage when ABS is active, grounded when inactive). Contact plate position inputs A, B, C, D (grounded when closed, open circuit when open). Feature Outputs: Solid state clutch relay output (pulse width modulated signal: grounded when relay is on, battery potential when relay is off). 4×2/4×4 vacuum solenoid (ground when activated, open circuit when deactivated). A4WD indicator (ground when activated, open circuit when deactivated). Shifting Between 2WD, A4WD, and 4WD HIGH Shifts between 2WD, A4WD, and 4WD HIGH can be made at any speed. Listed below are the inputs and outputs needed by the GEM to execute a change between any of these modes. Feature Inputs: 4WD mode switch (various resistances). Contact plate position inputs A, B, C, D (grounded when closed, open circuit when open:). Feature Outputs: 4×4 shift motor relay outputs. Solid state clutch relay (pulse width modulated signal; grounded when relay is on, battery potential when relay is off). 4×2/4×4 vacuum solenoid (ground when activated, open circuit when deactivated). Cluster indicators (ground when activated, open circuit when deactivated). Shifting Into/Out of LOW RANGE When shifting into or out of LOW RANGE, the GEM requires that the vehicle speed is less than 5 kph, the brake is applied, and the transmission is in NEUTRAL. Feature Inputs: 4WD mode switch (various resistances). Contact plate position inputs A, B, C, D (grounded when closed, open circuit when open:). VSS Sensor (sinusoid signal: 0.7V-20V, 2.2 Hz/mph). Brake input (battery voltage when brake is depressed, open circuit when not activated). Digital transmission range (DTR) sensor (ground when transmission is in neutral, open circuit otherwise). Start/clutch depressed input. Feature Outputs: 4×4 shift motor relay outputs. 4×2/4×4 vacuum solenoid (ground when activated, open circuit when deactivated). Cluster indicators (ground when activated, open circuit when deactivated).
