No permanent fix yet. Have her call and complain directly to corporate.
Can try clearing the codes with a flashpaq but that seems to only work for a few weeks.
"Female friend" hahahah Adam you old sailor you! hahaha
Haha well it's more of a female acquaintance. She is in the local off road club and drives a lifted commander. She didn't know about the recall issue and went to use her 4 low and well you know how that turned out. Had to add the female part because it's awesome seeing a beautiful girl driving a lifted XK
Hahaha you making the moves or what buddy?!?! hahaha Sucks about recall issue, why I dont trust no one!!!!!!!!
I thought this was covered in JeepForum. I read that the computer is VERY picky about how it's flashed for this recall. There is something in the instructions about after flashing, the tech should clear codes 3 times. I read that most techs don't read the instructions, flash, and move on. Those who went back and had it reflashed had their problem solved.
I can't find it now, but there was also some funny post on FB about how someone solved their problem by driving a few feet, pulling a fuse, then driving back, replacing fuse, then engaging 4lo, or something like that. It figures I can't find it now. I would print out the N23 recall instructions and go back to the dealer.
Mark, neither of those have proven to be a permanent fix. People that claimed they worked have resurfaced and said the issues came back weeks (and sometimes months) later.
When I had the recall done it lasted a few weeks. I went back in & had them redo it, came back again. I also had them reset it 3x's in a row and that cleared for about a month or so. Now I just use the flashpaq because to me it seems to work just about as well. I did see something on FB that a dealership had attached a data recorder to a customer's XK to review & solve the issue. Looking forward to it being resolved.
Would love to see the pic of the lifted XK as well. Why isn't she a member of this group yet, if she was she would have known about the recall :)
l i have just found this problem and this thread. we went to silver lake MI over the weekend . i tried and failed to put the T-case in low and of coarse nothing. luckily this did not ruin the trip as the truck preformed quite well on the sand dunes.
so what im reading hear is i have to take this back to the dealer and have the codes cleared?
There was a new flash released in July. The dealer will reflash your computer.
Sent from wherever my Jeep takes me.
also if you have the flashpac from superchips it will clear the issue temperley if you need the 4lo right then.
They can... 'fix' :rolleyes:... my transfer case, when they FIX my leaky transmission cooler lines under WARRANTY. :mad::mad::mad:
re flashed and fixed, for now
