Default Pulling into work this morning

the center differential light started flashing, along with the VSC off light. It's an '05 with 7k miles and sport package. Any Ideas?
No time to go to dealer yet.

Thanks,

Default oops?

Do you have about 1/2 a tank of gas? If so go check the gas cap,. You mave have not made sure it "clicks" a couple times when you filled up. I took it in and had the thing reset.

Hmm, not sure but I think GrdnRxR must of confused your issue with a check engine light.

On your problem, are you sure something didn't accidently "press" the center locking diff button? My wife has done this twice buy setting her purse there.

yea, that's the check engine light. now this is strange that the center differential light was FLASHING. but the VSC OFF light can be turned off by pushing the VSC button, or the button that has the 4 wheels connected to the underbody frame, with the front wheels turning to the side (in other words, the button next to the driver's seat heater button).

tried pushing the center diff button a few times, had no effect. Where is the VSC button? Looked quick, didn't see it (saw RSC button), manual is at home.

Not sure, but I think when you lock the Center Diff that also turns off VSC (i.e. the VSC off light will come on). Someone correct me, if wrong.

Also, you have to hit the Center Diff button and then drive fwd (or rev) for 10 to 50 feet to either engage or disengage.

Just hitting the button sitting in the garage won't do it.
