    TOD "CHECK LIGHT"...intermittent at 60mph plus

    Coming back from Peterson Museum , I noticed the TOD check light flashing.

    Pulled over...looked at what i could , no obvious problems.

    Started up again...light was off...it came on again just over 60 MPH...went off again...came on again..etc.

    Slight "growling" (tranny??) noise when foot lifted off gas (very end of foot lift...like just before no gas at all)....



    Anyone have any clues???...gotta sort it B4 Moab trip!


    Thanks

    Tire pressure? Odd tire wear? Try putting your front tires on rear and rear on front and see if it continues. Also check the connector to the TOD computer. Those are the cheap and easy things.

    Yup Billy...all tires checked and equalized before run up to Peterson....and tire wear is even.

    I'd still try swapping the front and rear just to be sure.

    Or you can just keep it under 59MPH!

    Ya, at speed, I would seriously lean towards tire wear/pressure.

    Parking brake is disengaged completely right? We had a rental car (JeepLiberty IIRC) in LA a couple years ago and some weird AWD/4WD light kept flashing at speed on the 10. Turns out the emergency brake was slightly engaged still and some weird brake wear caused bad rotation. Go figure.

    I'll rotate and recheck tire pressure...

    ...the TOD must be REALLY sesitive if this solves it...I HOPE SO!

    Any views on the growly/grindy noise?

    Thanks for input
