Help with bypassing the vacum system.

I need some expert help from my more knowledgable jimny pals,

I have replaced the vacum hubs with AVM manual freehubs.
I knew this would make the green light on the dash flash.


As I have the push button 4L system I now have to fool the system into thinking that the vacum hubs are engaged.
Can I re route the vacum pipes to fool the sensor or is the little vacum switch with the filter able to be shorted to fool the sensors?
Help please.

Ta in advance,
Gaz

Sorry I should have put this in tech.
If anyone can move it to tech please do so.

just block the pipes that come away from the vacum solinoids, thats all I have done. I put a nicely fitting screw into the tubes and taped them up.

Do you have the push button 4L system?

no mate the stick type system, I thought they all worked in the same way? apologies if they don't

I have the push button 4wd selector. The solinoids and pipes are the same as the models with selector stick. Block the pipes at the main solinoid on the drivers side under the bonnet and all your flashing light problems will go away. Jamie showed me what to do as his is the same set up. Two screws are all you need to block the flexible pipes. I think they are about M5.

can you not get into the dashboard console and remove the bulb? then you can remove all the unwanted bits.

because his is button operated it wont go in 4l if its not fooled. how aboubt creating pressure when engaged by blocking it therefore fooling it?

Tom,

Normally I wud but unless the system thinks the hubs are engaged it won't allow me to go into 4 low.

its cos its all electronic. id get a manual transfer box=problem sorted they come cheap

Thanks everyone

Well my 4x4 system has been ok for a week.

I presume it has split a hose or an electrical fault!!
