4wd drive warning lite

My 2011 tacoma is 2wd but the 4wd warning lite came on and the truck acted like it was in 4wd low range. Was normal after a few minutes. Never had this happen before. Any ideas?

 

How exactly did it act like it was in low range? You don't have a transfer case to have enough gear reduction to act like 1st gear lo.

 

It felt like you we're trying to make a tight turn while in 4wd. It jerked and tugged for about 25-30 feet, then seemed to "lug" for,about 100 feet then everything returned to normal and the light went out.

 

Are you sure you dont have 4x4? Just asking crazier has been said/done on here.

 

While you were making a turn, or going straight?
If making a turn, it could have been something going on with the locker.

But the 4x4 light illuminating on a 2wd is interesting.

 

If it is as you describe - I'm afraid we're going to have to send you to your dealer. Sounds like major engine-control-unit malfunction.

 

I drove it for several more miles and everything appears normal.

 

I would take it in. I think there would be a log in the ecu for something like that. Not sure tho
