I have a problem too with my 4WD system
I change all my caoutchouc vacuum hoses by silicon hoses.
One of pipe was blocked. I freed it (is it correct ).
All my servo-valve are ok and I have no flashing light
My vacuum intake operates (jimny 2001)
But I have no "clack clack" from my hub .
Do you think that I have leak in my vacuum pipes or my vacuum Hubs???
Perhaps , I have a leak on the lip-seal track from my hubs
lip-seal track from my hubs
I make a better picture later
What do you think about some ideas ???
- increase the vacuum to compensate the leak
- invert the system and using pressure to close my hubs
- repair the track
Heeeeeelp

Getting sucked off

But, when I use a pressure my hubs operate. The pressure is higher than the vacuum pressure and then make operate my hub . It is for that I think I have a leak to my hubs

Mine were tempramental when I bought my Jimjam but knew of all the problems from reading the many posts on this site and bought fixed ones and cut down bearing nuts with the truck from KAP as a result of this knowledge. I went greenlaning before having had chance to fit them and they played up on the first lane.
It can't be hard to get the vacuum ones to stay fixed all the time. A bit of a clean up then chemical metal on the sliding ring gear would work a treat I'm sure.
I'veheard all the stuff about increased wear on the front axle components from fixed hubs blah blah blah - but really? My old SJ410 was sold with fixed hubs and did 90k on them fine before my ownership with it's wheezy 1.0L engine, so I think the Jimny will cope ok!

but I disconnect my right hub to test it (same as the maintenance manual says)
It is for that I think I have leak to my hub...
Is it possible to repair or it is better to fit manual hub

If the bearing is worn there will be a vacuum leak that stops the hub releasing.
It will release if you blow down the other pipe.
The hubs work because of atmospheric pressure entering the pipe that doesn't have vacuum applied, so blowing into a pipe will operate the hub in the reverse sense.
you should be able to pull a vacuum on each spigot pipe, and it should stay for a few seconds.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

I say myself “that will not return… what is fall in default !!! â€.
I have changed the servo-valve, replaced my African hubs … and my old hose connections by silicon hose … It is necessary that I must find this leak… And it is not sure that the repair is efficient .
Would it be more judicious to put manual hubs and what can I fit ???
- hubs from AVM,
- hubs AINSIN of Sj/Vitara + spacer
Quid???
