Why would Service Four Wheel Drive light come on occasionally and not engage 4wheel drive when light is on?

If you have push button 4-Wheel Drive, it is recommended that you use it every once in a while, in order to keep gunk, rust, and corrosion to build up on moving parts. The mostly likeley (though not definite) reason would be that you let the 4-wheel drive unused for so long that corrosion has built up on the parts and the actuator that engages the 4-Wheel Drive doesn't have the power to engage it past the corrosion. You'll most likely need to take it in to be cleaned, or to have parts replaced. In the future, every month or so, engage 4-Wheel Drive and drive around in some mud, grass, sand, or any other loose ground for a bit, just to keep the parts moving and clean.

How do you engage 4-wheel drive on a 2002 Tacoma?
To engage 4-wheel drive (engine running), you should put the transmission into "Neutral" and manually engage it with the manual transfer knob located to the left of the auto/manual shifter. up/left is 2wheel "high", down/left is 4wheel "high", up/right is transfer case "neutral", and down/right is 4wheel "low". Once you engage your setting selected, look for a green "I" like icon in the bottom right ofyour gauge cluster showing that you are in 4wd. You may have difficulty making this icon appear, just hold brake and move your shifter into drive then into reverse and back to drive. If you cannot achieve engagement, contact your nearest service technician.
