TOD Check Light On JDV VX

[crotchrocket]

My check light is flashing and i have had a search and looked at others problems but alot of the easy fixes are tyres etc which don't apply.

My TOD is flashing i 2WD mode constantly. When i put it in TOD the front wheels wont light up and the check light continuies to flash

In L range the front wheel lights light up and are engaged and the Check light continues to flash.


Anyone got any ideas? Where are the connectors?

Also, does the scan guage read these codes or do i need to jack the No.8 pin to get the check light to flash the error code?

My TOD check light started flashing recently. When I first start it, all is fine but after a short time it starts flashing again. Since it only happens after the vehicle heats up, I'm wondering if one of the connectors for the TOD is too close to the exhaust. I've only taken a quick look under the vehicle & didn't find anything. Guess I'll have to do a more thorough inspection.

Keep us posted if you locate the gremlin. I'll do the same.

I haven't had this problem but it sounds very similar to an problem another UK owner had (unfortunately I haven't got her email address immediately to hand and she has since sold her VX). It transpired that it was a shaft rotation sensor - where and which one I can't remember (sorry but it may give u a clue where to look) but she said that it was a 'common problem' (!?). I'll try to track down that email address 4 U.

Thanks mate, spends alot of time with mud on it and i washed it last night so could well be a sensor. Is there a list of where the sensors are?

Sorry C.Rocket haven't been able to track down the email of the UK owner who may have had a similar problem. As regard to sensors inm general, have you visited the website www.myisuzuparts.com ? It covers the US VX but there are lots of pics, a search engine and part lists which might help with tracking down sensors (if that is the problem) but remember the US TOD is slightly different to the JDM versions.

hi mate, i can only suggest that you get under your front end and have a look at your front diff. you want to check that your sensor plugs have a good connection. you have been in mudd and krudd latly so you may given this a bit of a knock.

All i got sorry

(on a side note, i did loose my 4wd to my front diff a little while ago, turned out to be a crushed vucumm hose. though it did not affect my tod display)

It sounds like something got wet and has now dried out. You may want to get underneath and have a bit of a session checking over connections and drowning them in WD40...

My gear display was doing some interesting stuff on Sunday but I'm told it was behaving again on Tuesday.
