    Thank you wippersnapper2, and everyone else, 'victims' (like me) as well as you experts!

    I'll always check-in at Tacoma World when I need to learn more about my 2013 TRD Off Road.

    This is the 4WD light (high range):

    ===============================================================================

    This is when you go into LOW RANGE:

    =================================================================================

    This is the Rear Locker light (on with the 4WD-LO lights):

    Notice there is an X over the rear differential (a locker stops differential action). No ABS when locked (ABS light is on).

    I think it’s insane that the dealer didn’t come up with this answer.

    Thanks, all. Great answer. Saved me trying to have the dealer or someone else tell me to push a button. Also saved me money. My local oil change place said it was a low oil indication, which seemed odd. When they changed the oil in the 4WD cases and the red light didn't go off, they sent me to the dealer. Glad I Googled it before spending more money.

    Semperfi, thank you. Simple fix now penciled into my manual on ph 178 & in the index, something Toyota should have done.
