Hello,

Okay, I am new on the gen3 super 4x4 system, so I have a question that I know many of you know the answer: How do I know if the center diff lock it is working?? I mean, the light on the panel turns on, but how to know that it is engaged?? how to try it?? is there any kind of test I can do real quick to check it??, sorry but I am really new with my gen3. thank you!!!

look for an open piece of good gravel. Drive slow and turn sharp with windows open. You will hear the tyres fight for grip as rears would try and push the car forward.

Yeah, good explanation. If you cannot find a gravel stretch you can travel on a straight stretch of tar, engage 4H while moving, lightly turn left-right (zig-zag) and you will feel a slight resistance on the steering wheel.
Don't overdo it!

4HLc or 4LLc so you can (try to) lock the center diff.

Windup between front and rear axles is not possible in 2H or 4H
