Hello group,

I am certain that somebody had gone trough the issues I will describe and will appreciate a lot a feedback because I am at the edge of selling the vehicle, I have gone through a lot with this car, including engine swap.

I am getting the traction control ASTC light on my dash. This happens when the engine get's around 90degrees (normal) and these go off only when I rev the engine around 2100rpm. Then after 10 seconds these appear again.

Also I think this is related, when the engine is hot, I can not switch back from 4x4 to 4X2, the other switches work. I have scanned with Autel obd and I get error code 35 engine fail under ASTC.

I have checked for vacuum leaks, changed the MAP sensor, cleaned the intake manifold, change the traction control valve on the diesel injection pump.
