Rav4 Diff Lock

[Davie B]

I seem to have trouble disengaging the difflock on my '98 Rav4. Have tried a few things but when the diff lock button is released the light goes off but a bleep bleep sound is emitted - which I presume means it is still engaged??

Any advice out there for this situ?

Cheers,

Dave.

slowly in a straight ahead position and it should come off, Can take 100 yards or so if not been on for a while

can try reversing a shrt distance too. I have just come back from racing at Crail and did 92mph with the diff lock on !!!!! Then drove the good few miles home!

Hello. :)

I have one question. I have 1994 Rav4 3 doors. All time I have RWD, but sometimes it`s switch to AWD. And I want to know, when it`s switch? Maybe it`s dependet on RPM. I don`t now. :)

P.S. Thanks. And sorry for my english language. :)

Welcome to the club.

It should only operate if you press the diff lock button. Are you saying it sometimes comes on without you operating it?

[rav4-94]

No, withaut diff lock. When I push harder accelaration, then switced to AWD. I think its be depended on RPM. It`s true? I hope you understand me. :)

I think so.

The diff lock is worked by vacuum but I think that you may have a faulty ep valve which is allowing some of the inlet manifold vacuum to get to the actuating piston.
