New FJ owner, questions about 4x4 operation

[lqdchkn]

click here -> FJ Flash Demos from Toyota and follow the posted link. Video #6 will answer your question about using A-Trac but I think it would be good for you to watch all the videos.

Yea that isn't the factory ATrac switch but you can add ATrac for a $60 button. I don't think it would have an led if it was Trac since mine is just a push button that says ATrac. It will show "atrac
" On the dash if you go into LL and press the rear locker and ATrac buttons....

The videos were awesome, thanks for the links, I really want the Atrac now
So for $60 i can have the switch ? where do i buy the switch from ? and how do i enable the switch to activate the Atrac? I figure i have to use the same 3rd switch ?

Lol, with my luck, the factory connector wasn't behind the switch with the blue led, so i guess i'll have to dismantle the console to get to the switches.

There 2 cables behind the blue led, so i wonder wtf is supposed to light that up ? they are blue and red.

Hmm I am no electrician but its odd they would use the ATrac slot. See if you can find where those wires lead to. I would assume they were lights that were removed because those are the most common switch additions. Maybe it is ATrac but a custom switch? Go in LL, move forward, then press the rear locker button, and leave the blue LED on and see if ATrac lights up on your dash cluster....

Thanks dude, i tested the LL, and locking the rear diff, and the light remained off. I also pushed the traction control switch and the RSCA switch, lol just to make sure the previous owner didn't do anything crazy with one of the other switches while LL and rear diff were engaged, and nothing.

I also ordered the A-trac switch from the dealer, $74 and in theory should be in tomorrow.

I would chase down those blue LED wires and see what it goes too.

Maybe an alarm?

[mach1dsg [OP]]

Well, i know it'll sound funny, but yes, the blue led lights up when the alarm is activated.
Lol.
