    3” struts, light bar, fog lights. Lots of dog hair.
    So the ABS, Slip indicator and 4x4 (flashing) indicator lights just came on. I can’t put it in 4x4, the ABS won’t engage, and I can burn rubber! Haven’t done anything unusual, gone off road, or even engaged the 4x4. I am driving up a snowy/sandy/salty Maine dirt road, but nothing any other vechicle can’t handle. I’m thinking it’s some kind of sensor or perhaps a fuse. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Split a paperclip in half so you have two 90 degree conductors, and execute a zero point calibration. If you do it yourself it will take a few minutes. If you take it to a dealer they will charge you for two hours of 4WD diagnostics.

    Took it to the shop and they plugged in the computer. It shows up as a "wheel speed sensor" and/or a "wheel bearing" issue.
    Turns out the speed sensor wire was broken and causing the warning. I spliced the wire and I'm back on the road.
    Thanks all for your help!

    Thanks for updating with your solution. Could you tell where and how that wire got damaged? And is it the same one as the ABS sensor?
