Moved itself to 4WD and wont move back..... was created by HarveyH
Hello, have looked on the FAQ and could not see any mention.
Since having my 2006 Auto Jimny(2 months) I have not tried to move out of 2WD. Today, I loaded the back with 4 bags of sand and drove home. I heard a strange noise and then saw the 4WD green dash light flashing. It has remained and nothing happens when I press the 2WD button, it is remaining in 4WD. I have read the manual about having wheels straight. Any thoughts on the issue or tips to resolve? Thanks

Assuming you accidentally bumped a button, rather than there being a fault, jack either one of the front wheels off the ground for a moment and then try shifting back to 2WD again.
Jacking one wheel up allows any drive train binding that may have occurred to release.
