Here is a quick example of how to turn on the 4WD on a 4th generation Toyota 4Runner. *It is good to turn on the 4WD in Hi once a month to keep the parts in functional order.
Saludos, yo tengo dudas estaba en mi hogar y prendí la guagua y active los refuerzo y luego los quite pero se quedó encendida la luz (4Lo) y con un pitito, que tengo que hacer ...?
I just purchased an 07, and when I put mine into 4Hi the lights stay blinking and it doesn't seem to engage. As for 4Lo, the alarm sounds and I can't turn it off. Any advice? Also my diff lock doesn't seem to work.
At a standstill, my vsc off and another vsc light blink and stay on when I try to put it back from h4 to h2. In neutral in my driveway. What am I doing wrong? I can’t get it out of 4wheel drive. I can clear the lights by turning the truck off then back on. Should I switch it back to 2 wheel when driving?
You can drive in 4H (center diff UNLOCKED) any day of the year. It's essentially AWD, if you wanna call it that. This is a better system, with more options than FULL TIME 4WD. Better gas mileage.
You can either use 2WD hi or 4WD hi in this 4Runner, 2wd for better fuel efficiency and 4WD for better grip. But most more basic 4WD like the wrangler before the select trac was introduced, you should not use 4WD on pavement
My 4Runner doesn't go into 4Lo. The 4Lo light keeps on blinking on the dash. Is there anyone who might know how to solve it? There's also a light below the difflock light on the dash.
Thank you for the explanation and video! So do I have to run the vehicle at a certain speed, to shift it to 4H, or could I just keep the vehicle stopped, and in Neutral, then shift to 4H?
Happyman9271 hi, you can shift to a 4H and 2W any time. if you car is running, they recommend to shift at 30 mph and drive on 4H no more that 60 mph. Now to switch to 4L always neutral first and then 4L.
4 high allows you to drive on the highway with all 4 wheels moving. Perfect for a snowy or rainy day, but I believe its limited to 62 MPH 4 low is for steep and rough terrain at slow speeds.
@@shadowstrangler1 perfect explanation, I was trying to figure out the point of 4Hi if 2WD was for normal daily use and 4Lo was for slow speed conditions

My 2019 4Runner was stuck in 4 low. Thanks to your video I discovered you're supposed to be a neutral when shifting in or out of 4 low. Thank you!
Very to the point video. Good knowledge and much appreciated!
lmao i thought i had my wifes 4runner we just got in 2wd, shes been in 4h the whole time, and gas mileage has been great

When stock in mud with 2004 4runner, what is the next to do?
My truck beeps when I try to put it to 4L. (Trac and vsc lights are on. I cant turn them off) will that have something to do with it?
ever got it fixed??? mines doing the same
@@aaronj9595 yup. My driveway is a little bit downhill so let it roll a little bit down I put it N and then 4L and it engaged 4L. No beeping anymore.
what happens when 4wd LOw starts beeping ? you ever had that issue?
Thanks man
Do you have to be rolling/moving or in neutral to turn knob FROM 4H back to 2H?
My four runner won’t go into 2h the switch turns but nothing what should I trouble shoot
The green rear diff light on my dash is always blinking since I got a new transmission, what do I have to do to turn it off?
2007 4Runner beeps in 4L doesn’t go away even in neutral works in 4H just fine not sure what the issue is hopefully it’s something minor
Same here, any solutions?
I’m not a mechanic, I would say have your mechanic look it over.
Anyone ever solve this issue?
Apparently you have to lock the differential according to my mechanic I tried that before didn’t work 🤷♂️

Same problem here
Same here ... Any solutions?
Same issue with my 2008
Actuator or transfer case not working properly
At a standstill, my vsc off and another vsc light blink and stay on when I try to put it back from h4 to h2. In neutral in my driveway. What am I doing wrong? I can’t get it out of 4wheel drive. I can clear the lights by turning the truck off then back on.
Should I switch it back to 2 wheel when driving?
Same bro did u find a fix?
Need the part number for the knob / switch
What is the max speed for H4?
about 60 ish mph
@@eurosighter not true, there were no speed limit unless you locked the center Diff
No max speed in 4H, unless you locked the diff
@@suewang9210 owners manual states 60mph is the max!
@@sleeks9939 it’s the max speed that you can shift it in or out 4WD, not the speed you can drive in 4WD. Check your manual again.
Can you daily drive (city, interstate) in 4hi with the center dif unlocked ? Debating on if I should get a v6 or all time 4wd v8.

4Runners with this setup, offer 2H, N, 4H, 4L, AUTO H, AUTO L.
I'm driving in (H2) in normal road. is that correct or not thanks
You can either use 2WD hi or 4WD hi in this 4Runner, 2wd for better fuel efficiency and 4WD for better grip. But most more basic 4WD like the wrangler before the select trac was introduced, you should not use 4WD on pavement
I have question, switch the 4wd and 4L engine on or engine off?
On but in neutral.
On

Did you ever got it fixed? Mine has started to do the same……
@@saritis Unfortunately no.

@@juancarlosm2033 I see, thank you!
@@juancarlosm2033 incorrect, you can drive in 4h at any speed but you can only shift in and out under 60mph
When I want to drive in 4Lo, do I keep it in neutral or shift it into drive while in 4Lo?
After engaging drop it into drive
4wd 4runner lo 4wheel
whats difference between 4hi and 4 low why would u use one
4 high allows you to drive on the highway with all 4 wheels moving. Perfect for a snowy or rainy day, but I believe its limited to 62 MPH 4 low is for steep and rough terrain at slow speeds.
@@shadowstrangler1 perfect explanation, I was trying to figure out the point of 4Hi if 2WD was for normal daily use and 4Lo was for slow speed conditions
@@MoNeenja and if have a V8 like I do. The 4runner is always in 4 high no matter what and the only other selection you can do is 4low.
4L is geared down for extra torque for pulling or keeping the truck at slow speeds. Kind of like having an extra lower gear beyond 1st.
@@shadowstrangler1 not true, there were no speed limits of 4H unless you locked it in the 4Runner
Who doesn’t know that??
