I bought my son a 01 4x4 Ranger with a 4.0l in it. One day he drove it home in 4low without realizing it and i assume drove it as fast as he could get it to go. I wasnt in the truck at the time so i have no idea what all went on with it. Heres a list of whats going on with it now.
Wont shift out of 4low
Reverse is mostly non-working but it sometimes will engage a bit but not fully.
I read some place that if you lose reverse in this particular transmission you will also lose 1st gear. (auto trans) It said that reverse and 1st use the same band. Well 1st gear still works. With it being stuck in 4lo it was fairly easy to tell the difference between driving in D, 2, or 1.
Is there an easy way to check if the transfer case shift motor still functions? Or does anyone know of a way to check the 4 wheel drive shifting switch on the dash? Could this be the 4x4 control module and is there a way to test it? I have hooked an OBDII scanner up but it doesnt tell me much other than the fuel level sensor code popping up.
I welcome any advice on my problem and really hope some of you can help me with my problem before i have to start guessing. Thanks in advance, Mike.
P.S. The 4x4low light is on
