    Tod gone crazy?

    When i slow down to under around 30 my tod lights flash as i am slowing down.

    here is a video of it so you can see my mph going down at the same time my tod shows 4WD flashing

    Well, I don't have a clue other then to ask, are the tires the same size?

    I'd guess that is your problem.
    All four have to be the same size/pressure, & preferably, pretty close in tread depth/brand etc, for the TOD to function properly.

    Bingo LDub. All four(4) tires must be exactly the same in Brand, Model, Size, and PSI in order for the TOD to function properly. Mix-matching tires in any way shape or form on the VX is a No-Go!

    all tires are all season same size about same tread . if it was the tire wouldnt it happen at other times not when my foot is off the gass and under 30mph comming to a stop. this dont happen when crusing the hw. also i thought that the tod kickes in if there is slipage, there is no slipage under 30 and on the brake lightly

    yes.. do a tread depth and tire pressure check/cold on your tires..

    The largest and closest should be on the back.. and there shouldnt be any variance in your pressures, the only other thing I would suggest is putting some dielectric grease on your TOD sensors, they are on the T/C. I think there is a video uploaded on the sight to show them a bit better but it probably doesn't say TOD sensors,

    Good luck

    I had exactly the same problem. The problem was low pressure in both rear tires. I inflated them to spec and the problem disappeared.

    I had this problem last week! A darn screw was in my passenger rear tire. It was at 18psi with the others at 42psi. Once I fixed that, no more TOD issues.
