Traction and 4wd failure

[signals34]

Why does the trac failure and 4wd failure lights continue to keep coming on!!! I'm only asking you guys(and gals) because it seems the dealer can't figure it out,they tried.........

I have had it happen several times after hard off-roading but it actually went a way about 100 miles after normal driving.

Had the same problem with mine. Dealer changed the encoder sensor twice, but still there. They found a wire routed above the clutch pedal was bad due to rubbing. No problem since. BTW mine is a manual.

From our research, usually if it is traction and stability loss, along with no lights on the buttons it is the t/case control module. However, if you have those, plus no 4WD, it is the encoder motor. But a bad wire in the right circuit, that can do it too.

No lights required when there are strange noises coming from the vehicle.:D

I had the 4wd light go off and a message display saying the Stability Track requires service while I was driving on the freeway a couple of weeks ago. But after I exited the freeway and turned the H3 off and back on the problem went away.... :cool:

After my Encoder motor problem (properly diagnosised by F stop first try but not the dealer until the 3rd try) I blame everything on it...

The wire was above the clutch rod somewhere. Good luck. Mine drove me nuts.

I couldn't find my old one after I signed back up on this new forum. Not a very good excuse! :rolleyes:

I've had it happen twice...once after wheelin' through thick brush, pulled a connection near the t-case. The 2nd time (this may be your issue), it was a rubbed wire coming off the left rear brake sensor...up high, just where it goes up between trim & frame.

I've got the same thing going on with my black one, and will have it in for repair next week.

I'll report back on what they actually fixed.

ok dudes i had the same thing today . i was on about a mile long shale , loose rock decent . i got the same warnings . i turned off the truck and restarted it , then everything was fine . i wheeled for 6 more hours over some real radical stuff with no more alerts . i did not get the engine light warning . only the service 4wd and traction failed .

Hey f5,
Check this out for us...

I got a card in the mail saying my part was in, after the 2 voice mails they left:

My special order # is 19151453 - Actuator
Dealer = Alaska Sales & Service (who I am completely happy with and still have slobber on my butt from all their ass kissing for no apparent reason)

Out of the 3 H3's in our immediate family unit....my black one is the only one that has had this problem so far.

Thanks in advance!!
