2011 TUNDRA CREW CAB BASE 5.7 CANT SCAN 4X4???PLEASE HELP

Hi guys new here to the group wanna say hi and start with a question...

my 4 hi lo light is blinking i cannot engage 4x4 at all nor can i scan the 4x4 any ideas why i cannot scan or were do i look under in the scanner to scan check 4x4????

 

Did anything get severed or disconnected? Don't know much about the 4x4's but if there are any sensors that could be an area of interest.

 

Cg13055 That is and will be on my list if i dont hear any other ideas of possible issues with it hoping for the best but expecting the worst lol i knowingly purchased without 4x4 working yikes so wish me luck

 

You purchased it like this??? Shiiii that feels like the prior owner was hiding something from you... Maybe transfer case issue, you payed the premium price for a 2x4. There can be many causes I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in on possibilities.

 

If i were you start looking in the forums for similar situations, make a list and start testing individual theories make sure to log it in here just in case someone else has the same issue

 

are you trying to engage 4x4 lo the proper way ? or both modes dont work ? hi and lo.
lo can be a bit tricky on tundras if you are not used to it.

yes both ways i try to engage it properly it just does absolutely nothing im thinking wire possible harness or actuator issue i have been checking info on other posts so far its been very helpful just gotta get out there use the info and figure it out.....

 

got a snap on scanner were do i check for the 4x4 at anyone know were it normally is listed in such scanner???

 

I paid 22k on it with 57k miles its not a shit box by far....nor do I feel ripped off....just one of those things you see it you want it drive it ya buy it I couldn't help the look on my daughters face when she had seen it....

 

I have a feeling you're gonna have to put some money into this one, has a giant lift im sure that there is a reason that the 4x4 isn't working I say check all the connections maybe it isnt even connected to any sort of system and was unplugged, check if they installed a drop kit too

 

might be the actuator. somewhat common on certain toyotas. anything looks out of place when you crawl underneath the truck ? Did the previous owner engage the 4x4 at all ?
any error codes on your scanner ? no lights on dashboard ?

 

I agree as soon as I have some fair weather I will investigate, in which I have plenty of avenues to cover thank you for your advice.

 

im hoping its just the actuator but as far as the scanner goes i cannot link up with the 4x4 cant find the option in the scanner so theres either another port to plug in for 4x4 or im just missing were its located in the scanner......

 

is it blinking in 2wd? or when trying to engage 4wd?
