Has anyone else had the problem of the 4wd light flashing once having 4wd engaged? in either high or low range?

I got it when trying to engage 4wd when steering wheel wasn't straight or accidentally push 4wd Low when moving.

Could be a blocked, sticking or failing air actuator located behind front bumper, drivers side. Air pipe could even be leaking so what happens there is it presurises and looses pressure then represurises again so 4x4 never engages fully.

Does the light have a sequence or just continuously flash?

Vvt Jimny or non Vvt Jimny?

Most likely auto hubs failing to engage due to air leak.
Check vacuum hoses to swivel hubs.

The vacuum actuator is under the battery, not behind the bumper on a Jimny
