Thanks for the downloadMarino4x4 wrote:My 4.5 can engage the Diff Lock in 4H and 4L. Attached is the diff-lock layout.
The vacuum comes fro the engine. It is swished between locked and open with a solenoid valve on the left side of the car via the control in the cabin. It then runs to the actuator in the back. There is an electrical switch on the diff with the actuator. Anny of these can give a problem. Take some compressed air and clean the piping. Q20 the switch and electro/contactor clean the cabin switch.
Good Luck

Hi Tiny
Yes it is normal.
The ABS deactivates when diff lock engages.
So ideally, if everything works correctly, the diff lock switch stops flashing once engaged, and the ABS continues to flash.
