    2006 trac & 4x4 on& not moving

    Just pulled the ivd module fuse and the vehicle drives fine, ignoring the associated warning lights of course. Just wondering how to isolate the problem. Also heard the scanner I ordered may not work to check the ABS system, looks like most of them out there don't either.
