LX450 diff locks

[Pete B]

i'm looking at purchasing a LX450, its triple locked, but none of them work, i'm i right in thinking that if the centre diff lock does not work the other will not be able to be engaged?

thanks

Correct. Center needs to be locked first.

Have you crawled under and verified its an actual triple locked one?? There's been more than one post on here where seller says its triple locked when it isn't.... lol

If the CDL doesn't work you can trick the Diff Lock ECU into thinking it's locked by jumping the terminals on the switch at the transfer and then testing the lockers.

make sure it really has lockers. go under the truck and put eyes on them. i have seen people buy the switch and stick it in the dash to up the price.

i haven't been to take a look at it yet, just making a game plan for what needs doing, i'll make sure to have a crawl underneath to have a look to see if the lockers are physically there. but im hoping they are and i only have to fix the center to get the rest working.

thanks for the help

There is an entire section in the Toyota FSM for troubleshooting the CDL and axle lockers.
