Tod Check Light Help!!!

[Diogenes]

Hadn't thought about it prior to seeing these posts, but I did drive through several nasty thunderstorms in Tenessee enroute on my trip. But I had been out of them for about an hour before the TOD light starting flashing.

I reset the computer by disconnecting the battery and we'll see if I have the problem in the morning. Still going to have those fluid levels checked.

But basically, if I take it easy, then I should have no problem driving it 150 miles, it sounds like.

Just about to post the same thread. TOD Light started flashing 2 Day ago, and continues to do so. Has happened before but rectified itself after a few days. Have had a lot of rain lately which could be the cause.
Continuing to use the VX without any apparent problems. Anybody know where i can get a service/workshop manual for a 98 3.2, that is willing to send to England?

I had this problem right before my warranty expired. It can be the 4 wheel drive unit or sensors on the unit. It doesnt mess it up to drive it from what I experienced

Some of the ABS failures that i know of are:

1. sensors
2. wiring failure
2. ABS hydraulic module
3. ECU - The computer's control of ABS can go out without affecting other functioning.

When my ABS light came on we went through these areas systematlcally to find the failure.

I really appreciate the quick responses to this disturbing TOD sensor issue.

I'm a little nervous about driving it the 1200 miles back, but I hope everything will be okay. No observable fluid leakages from transmission or transfer case, so I guess I should be fine.

We VX owners gotta stick together.. lol

Mine just started doing something similar.
Check TOD light will flash, then go off as all 4 wheels on display flash 100% a few times, then check TOD flashing again.
It did this about a month ago at the beach while in 4 hi, so I put in 4 low rest of beach driving and it hasn't come back on until just last night.
Also, sometimes it works fine. Your suggestions sound right for my case, either bad connection or faulty sensor.

I just posted this response which I found relating to the TOD Check light:

"Not sure if this will help you but I had a problem with a buzzing sound coming from under my passenger seat. I took out the seat and pulled up the rug to find a relay/transformer making a buzzing sound. When I removed it the TOD CHECK light came on. The relay looks like this:

The specs are: 40A/30A 12VDC

Not sure if this would work but replacing it may do the trick. I found them on ebay really cheap ($10)."

Hope that can help someone
