In the dial-select 4x4 Tacoma and 4Runner, if you select 4lo and don't come to a complete stop and shift the transmission into neutral, it'll beep at you and flash 4lo on the dash.
I know the TE and TRD pro have a lever shift, but I don't hate my wife's 2016 TE enough to try shifting it into 4lo while still in drive. Doing that in a few vehicles I've owned makes an awful grinding.
Aw hell I'm heading to the garage right now.
OK I couldn't get ours to beep. At all. Even the seat belt chime didn't sound like the TRD Pro in the video. I tried shoving it into 4lo while in D and felt like I was going to break the lever if I pushed any harder.
I frigged with the diff lock in 2h and 4h (just flashed red on the instrument panel but never beeped) and playing with ATRAC didn't make a beep happen either.
In summary: I can tell by the video that the diff lock wasn't engaged, and by the engine note I can tell it wasn't in 4lo but I have no clue what that beeping noise was.
One thing I didn't try was to put it in sport while in 4L and keeping it in 1st longer than it needed to be?
EDIT: That beeping is traction control. If traction control is enabled, that means he's in 4hi and atrac is likely off. This also prevents the rear locker from working, being in 4hi. Traction control is automatically disabled in 4lo.
