Center differential light flashing and not engaging please help

I'm trying to get this message to cj3flyr since he's a guru @ diffs and stuff but if anybody could help please do so. I have a 2006 V8 limited 4x4. 52,XXX miles. I've done the "VSC off" cool mod to disable the VSC with the center diff unlocked. Anyways, I was here in Idaho and got stuck in some snow. I wanted to get out by locking the center diff... 2nd button on the left console. I have the full time system so i didnt need to shift into 4wd. I was @ a complete stop with the tranny in N and in D. I pushed the center diff button and after waiting 30 seconds it was still flashing and the VSC off light didn't come on. After moving forward backward moving the steering wheel from side to side the center diff indicator light was still flashing. After numberous attempts I said F*** it and used my VSC off switch mod to get out... In summary, should I get my vehicle checked out by the dealer to see if the center diff is "stuck"???? I've got an appointment @ 9 in the morning and i'm still under the powertrain warranty. Also, if I've done the VSC off mod, will Toyota void my warranty??? *** I had the VSC off mod done by a former toyota mechanic here in Idaho*** Thanks to all....

I owe so many people on this forum for diognostics, searches, mods, suggestions, etc. All mostly very kind and helpful. I am glad someone found good use of this info. Very frustrating and expensive.
