I brought a gen 3 with a ABS light on and flashing 4wd & Center diff light. I sorted the ABS by replacing the sensors and was hoping this would fix the flashing light to as figured all the systems are integrated but no such luck I’ve managed to track down another transfer box activator Strip it clean it test it make sure it’s okay fitted it but all it seemed to do was drive part the way in and leave me with flashing Centre diff and four wheels.
I removed it again checked it refitted it making sure it was in the two wheel drive position and everything was okay no lights in two wheel drive position as soon as I press the button for four-wheel-drive I just got all flashing lights I then manually drove the activator to on road four-wheel-drive position and everything was okay with just for green lights on for the wheels in the on road four-wheel-drive position but when depressed The button then I got all flashing lights again. With the activator removed I selected four-wheel-drive position by pushing the shaft in with moll grips and though it struggled to go in I think that was just because it was in a stationary position I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the transfer box. There are three switches on the transfer box which I need to test but due to the bad access and not being able to get anything that fits them to go on I’ve not managed to remove them yet to test so this is my next task just to check that the position switches on the transfer box are okay. I have also checked the switch on the front axle I and vacuum pipes. I remove the ECU from inside the passenger foot well took it out of his packaging and give it a close examination there are no signs of any damage corrosion or capacitor damage so I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the ECU. Once I have checked the three switches on the transfer box I am at a bit of a loss as to what to do next. If I’ve get a garage to plug in for a diagnostics I don’t know if the diagnostic system would produce any errors or any information that might help me pinpoint and resolve this problem.
Any help really will be appreciated..
