Thanks good video. The Computer does a pre check on the actuators and if the contact fails it flashes the lights which as you know is the first indicator to use them more. A small current is put through at the system pre check can burn those plates if never used which is what you were showing. A handy video for many thanks again.
I was actually looking for a video like this today mate and you have delivered! Legend! Mine is doing the same so I’m guessing this will be me tomorrow 😂
After watching your video I nailed it, knowing what position the push rods need to be in (disengaged) and the alignment of the contacts the main body the critical bit. Hint for anyone trying it, look for the pit mark to find it, note: they are both different, CDL is about 11oclock and HILO is about 10oclock just look for the marks on the contacts
common problem of burned contacts in Lo/Diff actuator. Usually caused by non use. If you only use high 4 then it is good to engage Lo and Lock once a month.
Not using 4low enough then. Moisture gets in and corrodes the point. That or you have lost the breather tube. Also can be sign the batteries are dieing
well we definitely use 4 lo and diff lock more than the average joe, say it was just the seals or the breather tube that caused the water ingress and seizing of the motors :)
i have definitely been above wading depth, but the tube was in tact and secure... either way it just shows what can happen with new electronically controlled selectors as apposed to the old school lever through the floor :)
Hey, Hope your doing great, I change the actuators for new ones, but diff lock still flashing and it doesn’t work, any correcto form to put the gears on?
If it still isn't engaging properly it may be more than the actuators that are the problem. It could also be that the contacts in the actuators are in the correct position....
well im having the issue it just flashes and itz not engaging......im dissapointed by Toyota.....4x4 Landcruiser shiuld not have these issuez. I want to have the old school level back. Super reliable feature it was.
@@ianmcdonald4780 nah i didn't scan it beforehand... I just knew it was the 4wd engage system as it was not engaging 4LO or centre diff lock. What sort of speed sensor is it??
@@marciogallegos7049 it was a genuine Toyota part... I can't guarantee that it will fit the earlier LC200 (pre facelift)... google partsouq.com and they have a great part number reference system.... good luck 🍻🍻
Why do they say to buy a transfer case? Do they wear out? Generally its the contacts the the issue. Unless water damaged the TF Case and Actuator is $3100 new

Absolutely, cheers for the comments 🍻🍻 I do miss the old lever through the floor though.... ha ha

ha ha, no drama's.... just use caution when removing those covers not to drop the gears out :) good luck

100% agree... that's one thing I miss about a lever through the floor, ha ha

You can remove the actuator you just need to be careful ive done it before. Then clean the contact points. Its been 2years since and no issues.
U mean the rods?? I did remove the actuators, both of them....
Water... so the breather tubes come off or you went above wading depth

Very interesting
Dam electrics with new cars 🤬

Totally agree, miss the old lever through the floor. I guess they are just trying to move forward with technology, unfortunately not as reliable :(
Did you scan the 200 before figuring out what was wrong. I have the same lights but its throwing a speed sensor fault despite replacing the sensor

@@DucruznOZ its the vehicle speed sensor on an 08. Got a VSC light, 4lo light and another light I cant remember
@@ianmcdonald4780 oh bugger, could even be in the harness maybe 🤷♂️ might have to take it to a sparky or Toyota directly....
Where did you buy the actuator, could you help me with the link? got the same problem
Btw this part function for a Diesel version 2009 LC200?

You can buy the whole transfer case for $2300
Really?? Is that AUD$$
