No , a 2002 Toyota 4 - Runner is rear wheel drive or 4 wheel drive
Rear wheel drive
when i try to engage the wheel wheel drive it grinds i have my truck in neutral what could be the problem what am i doing wrong
The front transfer case has a pneumatic actuator that can go bad, so the four wheel drive does not engage. This is one type of problem that can occur. I'm sure there are others.
It is 4 wheel drive when the system is engaged. In 2 wheel drive the vehicle is driven by the rear wheels.
If it has 4-wheel drive you would see controls on the dash to engage 2-wheel high, 4-wheel high or 4-wheel low.
I have replaced the vacuum diaphragm for the 4 wheel drive. Now the 4 wheel drive works intermittenly. Why? I have replaced the vacuum diaphragm for the 4 wheel drive. Now the 4 wheel drive works intermittenly. Why?
4 runner means four wheel drive. If the 4runner is only two wheel drive or the 4 wheel drive is not engaged, the rear wheels power the vehicle.
The light that comes on when 4 wheel drive is engaged is not the service light. It is just an indicator light that comes on to let you know the 4 wheel drive is engaged. It will go off when the 4 wheel drive is disengaged.
If you have a lever, pull it into the four wheel drive position. If a switch, put in four wheel drive.
It depends. Llook at the hubs on your front wheels. Is there a knob in the center of the wheels? If so, then turn this knob to the right and you will have engaged the 4 wheel drive. If you do this; however, make sure you engage the 4 wheel drive inside the truck (if your truck has a 4 wheel drive gear shifter). On other Rangers, you have a knob on the inside of the cab. It should be somewhere on the dash. You can turn it to the right and this will engage the 4 wheel drive. Finally, when you engage the 4WD make sure the engine is cut off, so it doesn't mess up your transfer case.
Most vehicles need to be stooped and in neutral before they will engage the the 4WD in low.
