Traction and 4wd failure
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.........

Re: Traction and 4wd failure
I have had it happen several times after hard off-roading but it actually went a way about 100 miles after normal driving.

Re: Traction and 4wd failure
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.

Re: Traction and 4wd failure
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.

Re: Traction and 4wd failure
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.... |

Re: Traction and 4wd failure
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...

Re: Traction and 4wd failure
The wire was above the clutch rod somewhere. Good luck. Mine drove me nuts.

Re: Traction and 4wd failure
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.

Re: Traction and 4wd failure
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.

Re: Traction and 4wd failure
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!!
