4wd indacator flashing won't turn off

I have a 2016 Tacoma off road, went off reading today after switching to 2wd my 4wd indacator still flashes and won't turn off any one with this issue and how to fix it?

 

Did you try coming to a complete stop, switching it back to 4WD, then to 2WD and slowly rolling forward or backwards a few feet? You might feel a slight lurch, and it should shift.

 

Yes I did that before n did that now lights still on , thanks tho!

 

Is it in 2wd and the light is still on?
Or will it refuse to get out of 4wd?

 

Yes it's 2wd but the 4wd indicator is flashing.

 

Try resetting the ECU. Disconnect battery for the night. Connect it in the morning and see if that fixes the problem. If not, I'd make an appointment with the service department.

 

Did you try putting it back in 4W putting truck in neutral and back to 2W

 

I already made appointment, should I still disconnect the battery?

 

Huh, thats weird...if it was still in 4x4 it should stay solid but flashing indicates it thinks you want to go into 4wd but it won't for some reason.

Have you tried re-engaging 4wd to see if it'll engage? Hopefully it does otherwise it may mean somethings wrong with your 4wd system.

edit: @303tacoma beat me to it

 

In that case I wouldn't. I'd make sure I was able to physically show them the light.

 

Mine flashed like that one time this is what worked for me.

 

Yes it is weird that is doing this I hope is just a sensor that's wrong truck is new only got 3k on odo lol

 

What kind of terrain were you on when you went off-roading today? Did you happen to drive on any pavement or solid surface with 4wd still engaged? It happens, it can be easy to forget you're in 4hi when you jump back on the main road (happened to me before, luckily it didn't result in any damage). Just trying to think of reasons why it would go haywire especially on a brand new truck. New vehicles these days have so many safety features that I wouldn't be surprised if it sensed something like that and set off a code of some sort. Regardless, fortunately the warranty should cover it. At least you aren't stuck in 4lo or something lol.

 

If none of the above work the dealership will cover you
Mine was stubborn coming out of 4wdlow the first few times have to exercise it haha
You should be ok as long as it's not locked in 4wd
Edit; @eon_blue beat me to it Hahahaha

 

get out of my head already! lol

 

I know right

 

It was mostly sand at pismo dunes had a good time until we went home and seeing that flashing it drove find fine just worried I guess.

 

Is that the only light thats on? Or did any other lights come on originally?

 

Yes that s the only light on

 

My brother (2nd gen) has had his light stuck flashing before. He found some loose terrain (soft dirt) and just switch from 2wd to 4 hi and low over and over back and forth and after ending on 2wd one time it finally released 4wd.

Does the owners manual say anything about a flashing 4wd light being a failure warning?
