CORRECTIVE ACTION
15. FRONT WHEEL DRIVE DOES NOT ENGAGE (FRONT WHEEL DRIVE LOCK-IN SWITCH ENGAGED)
Step 1. Start engine (TM 9-2320-361-10) and allow air pressure to build to normal operating pressure.
Step 2. Inspect lines and hoses for air leaks.
a. If air leaks are found, repair as required (para. 8-15).
b. If no leaks are found, perform test 1.
Test 1. Check front axle engagement air cylinder supply line (1) pressure.
Step 1. Stop engine and open all draincocks (TM 9-2320-361-10) until brake system air pressure is
vented.
Step 2. Disconnect supply line (1) from air cylinder elbow (3).
Step 3. Remove elbow (3) from air cylinder (2).
Step 4. Install tee (5) on air cylinder (2).
Step 5. Connect test gage (4) to tee (5) and connect supply line (1) to tee (5).
Step 6. Start engine (TM 9-2320-361-10) and allow air pressure to build to normal operating pressure.

a.
b.
NOTE
Air pressure gage on instrument panel has a maximum pressure
scale of 120 psi. If old governor has been replaced with new
governor, air pressure may exceed maximum pressure reading on
instrument panel gage.
If reading is zero, replace front wheel drive lock-in switch (para. 6-4).
If reading is lower than instrument panel gage, and air can be heard escaping from
transfer case vent, notify your supervisor.
Step 9. If air system is operating properly, notify your supervisor.
