Stuck in or out of 4wheel drive?

    I have a 2013 Tundra SR5 crew max 4x4.
    I use my 4wheel drive often and recently had a wheel speed sensor go bad while in 4 wheel drive. When this happens the 4 wheel drive is stuck where ever it is set, on or off.
    Does anyone know how to get it in or out of 4 wheel drive when the 4wheel hi and low lights in dash are blinking? The dealer did it for me when I had it diagnosed (but not repaired) for a bad wheel speed sensor and sub wire harness. I’ll fix it myself.
    I am often in places where I need 4 wheel drive (a long way from help) and when I have the same problems w/ sensor- harness, I would like to b able to do the switch to one or the other in remote areas.
    thanks in advance for any help in answering.

    Thanks for your reply but no, at least not for me. I Tried that. I have to fool the command box in to thinking it is reading the info from the wheel!?
    Thanks again.
