This morning I turned my truck on and both the 4HI/4LO lights were flashing together in orange even though I was engaged in 2WD. Since today is Sunday I have no choice but to bring it to the dealer tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone else experienced the same thing.

Update: 3.26.25
So the first time I took to the shop they said my truck was pulling a code for the front differential and that I would need to bring the truck back in during the week to have their specialist do a full diagnostic test to see what the differential code is caused from. So after I took it in the 2nd time they told me my front actuator failed/went out and that happens if 4wd doesn’t properly engage or disengage (mind you I’ve only kept my truck in 2H) so they ordered my replacement actuator and I have to wait them to receive it from Toyota. Apparently I’m the first truck that had this issue. So there’s that.

Starting to wonder if I’m experiencing the same thing TFL recording with their front actuator failing… only difference is I wasn’t in 4H I was in 2H.

I am going through exact same thing, when i try to use 4x4 system goes haywire, needs to be put in 2wd and turned off for 10 minutes at least, come back and can drive, but no 4x4 available anymore, contacted dealer.
