Toyota 4Runner Transfer Case Shift Motor 600-493

This two-rod transfer case actuator fits the 4WD Toyota 4Runner with the 4.7L V8 from 2003-2009 and with the 4.0L V6 from 2010-2018. It also fits the 2010-2017 Lexus GX460 with the 4.6L V8. It replaces Toyota 36410-60091, 36410-60092 and 36410-60093, and crosses to 600-493, SAT003, TCA102 and J78004. The actuator has a 12-pin connector and comes without a harness. It weighs about 5 lb.

Fitment varies by trim, so match the part number printed on your old actuator before you order. The GX470 uses a different single-rod actuator.

This actuator moves the transfer case between high and low range and locks the center differential. When it fails, the 4LO or center diff lock light keeps flashing and the shift never finishes, or the truck gets stuck in one range. Rule out a blown fuse and a corroded connector first. Before you install the new unit, set both of its rods to match the old actuator. The rods have to line up with the shift forks in the case, or the actuator will not seat.
