Jeep Liberty 4 Wheel Mode HELP?

Question

Hi

I was trying to put my Jeep Liberty into 4 Wheel High mode and got it stuck into 4 Wheel Lo Mode instead. I cant get it out of this mode. If I try to push the lever, it only goes into Neutral.

The sequence is Part Time -> 4 Wheel High -> Neutral -> 4 Wheel Lo Mode.

Please Help!!!!


Thanks

Answer 1

First you should rev the engine in park for about 1 minute to recirculate oil throughout the car. Next shift the transmission into neutral tap on the gas pedal roughly 3-4 times every 5 seconds. When you are done with that shift into park, turn off the car and wait a few seconds before starting the engine again. Next start the car, pull up the handbrakes, shift into neutral and then shift the transfer case in which ever gear you would want, I recommend shifting the transfer case in neutral and revving the engine for a few more seconds, this lubricates the gear to lessen this chance of happening again.

Answer 2

put your automatic transmission selector into neutral, don't let the vehicle roll faster than 5 mph. Depress the 4X4 selector lever down into neutral, then into 4 hi mode (you might get a grinding sound between neutral and 4 hi). If you get grinding sounds, let off the lever apply a little brake and try pushing it down again until it syncs up and lets you go from neutral into 4 hi. After that you apply brakes and put the automatic transmission selector into Drive. If you have a manual transmission, you can put it into 1st gear instead of drive and be on your way.

Answer 3

The reason your transmission has 1, 2, and drive is that you may not want the computer to decide when to shift all the time, like when slowly pulling a load up a hill, or descending a steep slope off-road. Having it in first or second will keep the vehicle from going too fast down the hill, and you won't have to ride the brakes. Just make sure not to rev it too high when you're not in drive.

Answer 4

Place transmission in Neutral then shift back to 2WD.

i mechanic for a living,,and you may have to move it a few feet before it will go back in gear,,i got mine locked out one day on dry ground,and it did this,,if you can get it to roll a few feet either way it may go back in gear,,other wise it may have jerked the linkage loose on it,,i have seen this happen a few times before,and also try this with the engine not running,,it may make it go right back in,,good luck hope this help,s.
