The test is to jack up only one front wheel and try to rotate it, if it only moves a few degrees in each direction then it is in 4WD.
If there is a bit of resistance but it turns, and the front propshaft is rotating then the hubs are in 4WD- double check by letting it down and trying to turn the front propshaft, if it won't turn now then the hubs are in 4wd but not the transfer.
(for completeness, if the front wheel will rotate, but if you try and rotate the front propshaft it wont turn, then the transfer is in 4WD but not the hubs. Do take precautions if you crawl underneath when it is jacked up, but it can't fall very far with the wheel still on)
I'd reconnect that hose, run the engine at idle for a couple of minutes to build some vacuum in the tank and then try jabbing the 4WD & 2WD buttons a couple of times to try and get it to reset itself.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

How do you know that it is in 4WD?I've just lifted the car and I've checked, it is definitely in 4Wd. It didn't sound 'off' while I was driving... either I am dumb or very lucky, though I'm feeling it is probably the former. Thank you for the advice though.
