'13 LC: Center diff light

[jmw101]

All,
Several times in the last couple of weeks, the Center Differential warning light was flashing at startup. It would typically stay on for a number of minutes and eventually go off. I could not sense any different behavior while the light was flashing. Initially, I thought this might have to do with significantly colder weather that we've had, but this is Texas cold weather and these are Land Cruisers. Surely this is not the case.

Got the oil changed at the dealer last week, and mentioned it. They responded that there were no error codes present when they checked and that they did not see anything wrong.

Anyone have an idea? Am I over-looking something obvious ?

Thanks in advance.

Forgot to add, 78K miles on the rig so far.

Any way you had acidentally pushed the button? I have hit it by mistake before on my '13

Have you changed fluids front/center/rear

 

[jmw101]

Have not changed fluids.

Have not accidentally touched the button.

The light stops flashing after a few minutes. Not positive, but it seems to only happen on first start in the morning.

You should change those fluids at 30k and 60k I'm not sure if that's the issue but I would definitely get those changed... your over due

Rando,
Thanks for the note. I thought you meant "have you changed fluids" recently. They were changed right at 30k and 60k miles, so I should be 18,000 miles on the current maint. window.
