After searching and a good deal of reading up on the subject, I still have a few questions which I would be much obliged if you were able to help me with.
First a wee bit of background:
While driving down the highway, I noticed an orange flash coming from the dash, upon closer inspection it was noticed that this was both the ‘4x4’ and the ‘4x4Low’ lights flashing. They flash 6 times approx every 2-3 minutes. Being a curious sod, I decided to flip the switch to 4x4High just to check the operation, and nothing..nadda won’t engage 4x High or Low. It was raining pretty good so I figured I would check the Auto sensing mode by getting on the loud pedal from a dead stop, and it’s still functional.
So as soon as I arrive at work (while waiting to have my f*cking windshield replaced-bad few days eh) I hit the board archives and started searching.
So far I’ve read that the six flashes of the 4x4 lights indicate code P01836-intermittent problem with the front shaft speed sensor (not sure if this is accurate). So, if this is the case, would somebody please provide me with a replacement part number so I can get this taken care of. Also anybody have any pics of the sensor and or re&re process?
If you feel the code is incorrect and I’m looking in the wrong direction, please feel free to voice other opinions.
Cheers
