Wartung Allradantrib?????

[pmac]

Any one speak German?

I have an international version of the CANBUS for an aftermarket radio which has turned the EVIC into just being able to display German. Well known issue and an easy fix (if I want to spend the money to replace and re-install).

Most of the time I can work it out, but this one I'm not too sure about.

It happens when I try and go into low range, as low range doesn't engage, and these words are displayed. Can someone confirm what the words actually mean?

I gather it is saying a fault and 4wd low doesn't work. "Warning ......"?

I think I will have to start (carefully) reading the whole thread about the recent WH recall as there is a heap of stuff about 4wd low, but just want to make sure the warning is what I think it is.

Thanks

2. turned my car off keys out. opened the bonnet.

3. Went to the fuse box under the bonnet took fuse labelled fdcm/ediff

4.Shut bonnet, got in my car started it with the fuse out put it in drive, drove 2metres forward then put it in reverse drove is 2 m backwards. (Be aware you will get the service 4wd light without pulling up the lever as you are driving)

5. Turned my car off keys out went to the bonnet put fuse back in shut bonnet

6. Started my car put it in drive got the car rolling just below 5kmph (as this makes it easer to slip into low 4wd read manual) knocked it into neutral while rolling pulled the low 4wd switch and it worked

If this gets rid of the message then I would say the N23 recall curse has struck again, sorry buddy, welcome to the family

Google Translate is Your Friend pmac. A quick search came up with some other similar questions from this forum too.

Thanks guys - I just had all the fluids changed yesterday (diffs & TC), and when I got it back they said they tested it and couldn't get it in low. 4wd high was working fine. I hope that it wasn't something that they did.

I did the recall a few months ago and every time I tested Low it worked, but others said the issue happens on about the 10th time, and I'd be around that now.
