Hi Anit !

Did you feel any difference in the way the VX is performing when you go 2WD ?

Check all T-case connectors & wiring.

Also make sure all tires are properly inflated

X2 what Gussie said: make sure all of your tires are properly inflated. Sounds silly but it really can mess things up.

The best thing to do is check to see what the fault indicator light is indicating. I hope this info appies to your model VX with the push button TOD.

Numbers 4 and 5 are the GND terminals.

This is a wire that you use to jump the terminals at the data port-

Here's a video I made showing the TOD check light flashing the code.
The code is 12 of course, meaning everything is normal.
