I'm not sure what I did in my 5th gen today!
Sorry I know this is not the thread for this, but I thought it might get eyes on my issue.
I drove 30 minutes in the snow in 4 wheel high with no issues. 3 hours later I started it up only to find the traction control, 4 wheel low, KDSS, airbag, ABS and power steering lights all on the temp gauge, tachometer, speedometer and odometer all non functioning as well as 4 wheel high and low not working. It drove fine and shifted fine in 2 wheel drive, but everything was dead and no miles were logged on the odometer.
Not sure where the tachometer is hooked up to; does someone know? The wire harness to the transmission or transfer case is my best guess for a cause to the issue. Maybe a loose plug from when I re-geared? I checked for loose grounds and such.
I can't find a thread for anything like this on a 5th gen. Any pointers? The car is running and idling normally when I took the photo and looks the same at 60mph.
If memory serves, speedo relies on ABS wheel speed sensors. If you don’t have speedo, I suspect you’ve got a frozen up sensor. Did it clear up after things thawed out? I had a wheel speed sensor go out on a different vehicle, and it lit up like a Christmas tree, very similar to this.
