Nice vehicle off road, be careful on tarmac as traction and cornering is not the best even with off road standards.

1. For an LJ78, check engine light is like having a Bluetooth headset on a dinosaur, so don’t worry, is it a 1kz?
2. Turbo timer not mandatory, but not a bad practice either, meaning some manufacturers recommend allowing 10 to 30 seconds for the manifold and the turbo to cool after HIGH REV motorway driving, which is again rare here unless it’s a non stock turbo, Toyota afaik has no issues with turbo timers.
3. I’m not sure exactly how the 4wd patten for yours is,
2H - for tarmac, least traction, can go to top speed, 2WD
4H- for traction mild/moderate , mud rocks etc, not for pavement driving, unless wet road or loss of traction, if it’s not an awd based system ( LJ70S DIDNT HAVE), driving in tar roads even when wet in 4H can damage transmission during turns, low speed only
4L- engaging the 2nd gear set / transfer case for extreme traction, mud bogging, rock crawling, certain supervised towing, at very low speeds, exclusively off road or relevant scenarios
you may have a diff lock as we’ll center or rear which engages in 4L by a switch, for heavy mud or cross axle events.
Try to source a Japanese owners manual relevant to the gearbox you have, or perhaps you can share more details of your car.
Basically do everything in 2H, when off-road use 4H, use 4L when things are really bad.
4wd gears may get stuck showing lights on after disengaging levels, drive a few meters backwards to unwind the transmission.
Hi Mate, Its a 2446 CC
And thanks so much for the explanation

Hi Guys
I have got a Land cruiser prado LJ78 and have got the following concerns;
1. The engine light is on and when scanned its said to be an electrical issue and no major concern according to the technical guy, Is this serious concern to keep the jeep running?
2. Is it mandatory to have a turbo timer ?
3. What would be the exact steps to get the vehicle on 4WD? What are the uses of H4?
I am new to the jeep category and learning with experience, appreciate your feedback and suggestions.
Thanks

Hi
need advice on contacts to service the car rack of my Toyota Corolla 121, since I hear some unusual noice on not rough terrain. I heard it’s a usual thing with Corolla, is this true?
Best option is to replace or repair?
