Hi my 1992 LWB Vitara's 4WD light stays on when the hubs are unlocked and the transfer case is in 2WD. Is this car smart enough to tell me there is an error with my 4wd system or is it more likelly to be the fault with the switch in the transfer case itself?

Thanks in advance David.

It'll be the switch. I don't think there is any diagnostic type stuff for the transfer.

the light on my sierra had always been on for the 3 years I owned it, you could try unplugging it and if it turns off its probably a stuck switch

GV's do some fancy stuff with teh light if the pump detects the front diff isnt engaing (by building pressure in the line but thats about it
