  • Here is a quick example of how to turn on the 4WD on a 4th generation Toyota 4Runner.
    *It is good to turn on the 4WD in Hi once a month to keep the parts in functional order.

    My 2019 4Runner was stuck in 4 low. Thanks to your video I discovered you're supposed to be a neutral when shifting in or out of 4 low. Thank you!

    Do you have to be rolling/moving or in neutral to turn knob FROM 4H back to 2H?

    At a standstill, my vsc off and another vsc light blink and stay on when I try to put it back from h4 to h2. In neutral in my driveway. What am I doing wrong? I can’t get it out of 4wheel drive. I can clear the lights by turning the truck off then back on.
    Should I switch it back to 2 wheel when driving?

    I just purchased an 07, and when I put mine into 4Hi the lights stay blinking and it doesn't seem to engage. As for 4Lo, the alarm sounds and I can't turn it off. Any advice? Also my diff lock doesn't seem to work.

      You can drive in 4H (center diff UNLOCKED) any day of the year. It's essentially AWD, if you wanna call it that. This is a better system, with more options than FULL TIME 4WD. Better gas mileage.

      You can either use 2WD hi or 4WD hi in this 4Runner, 2wd for better fuel efficiency and 4WD for better grip. But most more basic 4WD like the wrangler before the select trac was introduced, you should not use 4WD on pavement

    Thank you for the explanation and video! So do I have to run the vehicle at a certain speed, to shift it to 4H, or could I just keep the vehicle stopped, and in Neutral, then shift to 4H?

      Happyman9271 hi, you can shift to a 4H and 2W any time. if you car is running, they recommend to shift at 30 mph and drive on 4H no more that 60 mph. Now to switch to 4L always neutral first and then 4L.

      4 high allows you to drive on the highway with all 4 wheels moving. Perfect for a snowy or rainy day, but I believe its limited to 62 MPH 4 low is for steep and rough terrain at slow speeds.

      4L is geared down for extra torque for pulling or keeping the truck at slow speeds. Kind of like having an extra lower gear beyond 1st.
