Hey all!
I am amazed on how reliable Toyota Land Cruisers are. I have owned mine for only 8 months and it has been in my barn for only 5 of them! I even got to take it to a club meeting one time! But just once.
I have hit the limits of my knowledge on two things:
First: I have had mushy brakes, so I decided to rebuild the brakes. Like all of them. I have replaced the vacuum boost, master cylinder, all rubber hoses, and all calibers. Now, the brake pedal feels tight after bleeding the brakes (in the order Rear right, rear left, front right, front left and finally proportional valve). As soon as I turn it on and apply the brakes with the vacuum boost on, the pedal slowly sinks to the floor. I feel like I am missing something unique to the vehicle. Is there a way to bleed the ABS?
Second: my CDL was working great after replacing the 84222-12010 switch in the front of the transfer case (about 4 months ago). Last week when I shifted into LO, the CDL light didn't come on and I did not hear the actuator whirl. I think it is the L4 Position Switch, so I pulled it today. First off, the L4 is not a PN 84222-12010. What part number is it? Second off, when I depressed the switch with the multimeter, I was reading ~70 ohms, which seems normal to me. I read the voltage across the plug for the switch at 9.81 Volts, while disconnected. Then I tried jumping it with a paper clip, and nothing happened. What am I missing?
