    Not sure whats going on, driving home from work yesterday. Had just gotten off the highway, cruising about 55-60 mph, my LSD light comes on. I didn't hit any dash or overhead buttons, after a couple miles the traction control light comes on for 5-6 miles then goes off. Then back on with the LSD light staying on until I get home. No funny noises, no trying to do burnouts, just normal driving.
    It's a '17 OR 6MT, 3" lift 33" tires, I bought it new and lifted it about 15k miles, now has 75k miles. I need a direction to start, without going to the dealer.
    TIA

    I guess I didn't realize it'd have a stored code if the sevice engine light wasn't on. I'll take it to the parts store and have them scan it.

    Yes, there should be a code. Did you use search bar, for others whom had this problem?

    Maybe a damaged wheel speed sensor?

    Yeah, Limited-Slip Differential light usually comes on with the check engine light.
    Get a scanner & erase the codes & change the gas cap.
    Sounds ridiculous, but it worked for me :)

    definately, but don't have any grinding from the rear end, don't believe I need to recalibrate the computer like on the 2nd gens because the issue didn't pop up imediately after my lift, but waited 60k miles.

    I'll start with the codes and see where that goes

    I'm thinking this as well. Damaged or faulty.

    Unless it's rusted thru or something I don't take it off road, and don't drive it in the winter, (as much as possible). I'll definitely do a full inspection

    The autoLSD light comes on or the VSC light?

    Interesting. As far as I know, autoLSD never lights to indicate any malfunction in any situation. The only reason it lights is because it thinks the button's pressed. I'd start with the button and wiring. Same button and circuit can activate trac off as well.
