When I push the auto 4x4 button the "4hi" does not engage make any kind of sounds what so ever. I can manually put it in 4lo with no issues 4lo works as it should.

Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you!

This could be a couple things but we need to start with checking for codes. Here is a guide that will help with this:

However, I suspect you have an issue with the clutch or engagement system. I attached the info on this below.

We need to find out what the display in the cluster is showing you when this is not engaging. It should show the current status and any errors if there are any.

Please see the attached information and we can start working through this. Thanks

Hello, I'm Danny.

The tod- Torque On Demand is controlled by the ECU and should show any fault codes on the instrument panel. I've attached picture steps below showing tod theory and the tod ECU replacement. I would have it checked for proper function. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
