I know this has been asked before but couldnt find any fix on the old thread:
I was testing the 4x4 function on a block of land (the block is flat with some sandy areas). It was having no issues engaging 4 low (i.e. stop the car, push down clutch, move gear to neutral change function), but when trying to switch back to 4 high it was slow to shift and sounded clunky.
I took it out of 4wd and drove it to town, roughly 5km. Once we got back in the car and started the engine an alarm sounded with the 4 low light flashing and the traction control light on. I immediately shut down the car and looked at the manual. After following the procedure to bring the gearing between 4 low and 4 high (i.e. stop the car, push down clutch, move gear to neutral change function) I found it would not move between 4 low and 4 high.
I drove back to the block at a low speed in 2wd once there tried in 4wd to get it to shift between 4 low and into 4 high by following the same procedure on the rough sand/block. It would not shift and the warning lights remained on (but no alarm would sound)
If I left it in 4 high then tried to exit 4 wd into 2 wd the alarm would sound and 4 low light would flash. I also tried reversing and turning (as the manual describes). I was worried the car would be in 4 wd but I had a neighbour come out and look at the car with me, we were able to ascertain that the car was not in four wheel drive. Hence I drove it back to Perth.
So in summary I was able to take it out of 4wd on the low setting but the warning light remains on, it will not shift into 4 high.
