While driving back from a short weekend trip today, the DIFF LOCK light turned on and the VDC OFF illuminated. Strange since I haven't even tested to see if there truly is a locker installed. Immediate panic set in hoping that I didn't get a malfunction that actually engaged it sending us to our doom on the next bend in the road. Then the Diff lock light flickered like there was a short and went dark, turning off the VDC light as well. I thought that was pretty strange and just figured I would mention it to the service dept. as soon as possible. About an hour later, the lights came back on again and this time we were doing 75mph on the highway... flicker flicker flicker... on... flicker flicker. It seemed to flicker when I would change lanes and run over the lane bumps.
We stopped about an hour later to fuel up and as we were slowing down to the gas station, the ABS and Slip light decided to join the party. I had hoped that turning of the ignition would fix it as I would have occasional quirks with the traction control system in the Rover which would fix itself after a restart.... no luck! This time however, the ABS, VDC, and Slip lights were the only ones on and the diff lock was not.
We got it home just fine and I started checking fuses and all seem to be good for the ABS, Diff lock and ETC system. I restart the truck and now the diff lock light and VDC lights are the only ones on. Ummm, okay? I flip the locker switch and the ABS light and slip light comes on (just sitting in 2hi park). I turn it off and the diff light goes off but the other lights are still on. Then I take a slooooow test drive around the block... go from 2 hi to 4hi.. this is working. Drop into LO and it's working as well. Then stopped to turn the locker on and NO LIGHT! I left it on and rounded a corner and neither felt nor heard and tires chirping as they should when locked on pavement. Turned the locker off and went back into 2hi and parked it. Restarted it and now the only 2 lights on are the diff lock and VDC lights... UGG!
We have had our Infiniti G35X (awd) for 3 years now and never had a problem with the ETC which is very similar.
Anyone have similar poltergeists?
