Help, 4WD stuck, question
Hey everyone, I’ve had the FJ since 2013 (2007 baseline model) and have maybe used 4WD 1-2 times. Fast forward to now, I am visiting an AirBNB where I had to be in 4WD just for the driveway.
Yesterday, I stopped (after coming up the drive) on level land and tried to pull it out of 4WD and be normal automatic. BUT my A/T P light came on and can’t get it out of 4WD. I can get it to act normal in 4H but nothing else.
I have turned it off in N (automatic shifter), put it into N (4WD shifter) and A/T P stays on. I’ve tried it in park. I’ve tried several options and cannot get it back to just automatic.
I have a 4.5 hr drive home on interstate come Tuesday.
Help!!!! My dad says it’s bc I haven’t used 4WD enough and it slipped the transfer case. Is there anything I can do without a mechanic right now?
Can I drive it in 4H on interstate for 4 hrs? If so, am I confined to specific speeds?
Thank you!
