4x4 light blinking and not engaging

bump

 

Hmmm, maybe disconnect the battery? Maybe that'll reset something?

 

Take to dealer.
Else going to need techstream and a dongle to be able to troubleshoot.

(Btw, turning truck off and on resets all the 4wd errors I created while working on 2lo)

 

If you tried it in drive and it didn't go then I think a visit to the dealer should be in order. Who knows, maybe TW will prove me wrong and have a solution.

 

You gotta play with the throttle man...

 

gonna try that..

 

definitely gonna go get it checked out again when I get my 15k inspection done.

 

On my first gen, I had to turn the wheel, lock to lock, while driving very slowly to get the 4WD engage at times. Forward and backwards. Try this (on dirt). If you haven't engaged it in a long time, it may just need a little bit of time.

 

b

but did the electronics kick in right away..? the warning signal didnt even go off when I tried to do it.

 

tried it..

 

Any new updates to mention?

 

Well poop.

 

its at Kendall Toyota right now. anxiously waiting to hear back from them...

 

this is nerve racking man. i need to get some off roading done this summer.

 

It’s the front diff actuator, I guarantee. Will be replaced under warranty.

 

I will put money on it being a bad connection.
(Might be a bad connection in the add actuator, but bad connection somewhere)

 

Should be handled. I try to engage mine once a week. Works like a charm. I guess I would do it more often going forward.

 

well my friend, i'm still waiting to hear the diagnosis.. hopefully they call me back soon.

Thanks for the tip, I will definitely utilize it more frequently now. atleast use it the minimum of 10 miles a month.

 

I think you're doing it wrong. You can't go from 2hi-->4hi if you aren't moving. You have to be in a gear moving.

You can't go from 2hi-->4lo. You have to be in 4hi first.

You can't go from 4hi-->4low if you are in gear or moving. You have to be stopped and In neutral.

 

I know how to engage it. it simply won't engage.
