TOD not working

[bartmanS4]

Bartman,
Couldn't do donuts in 4lo, it pulled like a freight train.
Any other ideas?

Damn, I'm out of ideas. Can't get my head around why 4lo works but TOD doesn't and has no fault indication.

[circmand]

but does your fault light up on start up? Maybe the bulb is burnt out so you do not see (or removed by previous owner or something?) try taking it to a parts store for a FREE code reading

Cirmand,
It does light up when I start up, Can advance auto read TOD codes? Had it at the old Isuzu dealership about a month ago and no codes came up. Me thinks it's the t-case Maybe the clutch packs

[tom4bren]

TOD codes are read differently than CEL.

There won't be any codes though unless the TOD light is flashing.

[circmand]

But the lights wont flash if bulbs removed. I just suggested it as a might as well try it and see.

Nothing flashing, by TOD indicator do you mean the CHECK light or AUTO light? Maybe I'm missing something

[MSHardeman]

I'm not in front of my VX dash right now, but I THINK that there is a TOD "idiot light" on the bottom of the gauge cluster where all of the other warning lights are. There is a long row of warning lights at the bottom of the gauge cluster and I think the TOD light is on the left somewhere. As others have said, if this light was on or flashing then the previous owner may have removed it, or it may just be burned out.

I have a spare gauge cluster at home that I can take a picture of if you can find the TOD warning light on yours.

Just checked owners manual, they don't show any TOD indicator light in gauge cluster Mshardeman- If you can check yours I would appreciate it.

[tom4bren]

I'm gonna hafta say that yours is not on since you really can't miss it.

The word "CHECK" in red letters is below the TOD indicator lights. Mine starts flashing about 15 min after driving & the TOD quits working. It hasn't been enough of a problem for me yet to try to chase that gremlin down.

I took a pic with my cell this morning & tried to send it to my email so I could post it. Didn't work. I'll try again later.

Thanks Tom, Check light works but definitely not on or flashing

Perhaps a previous owner installed a TOD off switch? If the switch is installed with a resistor to ground, you will not have a check light nor will TOD operate, yet 4LO is unaffected. This circles around to Scott's original reply.

What did you find under the passenger seat other than the ECU?

[simonsayz1]

VXorado-Just uploaded the 2 pics of the piece I found under the seat under Modifications. I don't think it has to do with the VX, but who knows. The TOD computer and wires seemed to be original.

OK ... but here's where it is located for future reference:

Not a bad pic for cell phone @ 6AM sitting in traffic on I95 ... if I do say so meself!!!

BTW: my work badge covers that annoying light quite nicely so that it doesn't send me into epileptic siezures whilst driving.

[simonsayz1]

Thanks Tom.
My check light doesn't stay on but does light up with the rest of the service lights when I start up.

Yeah I don't think it's related.
