To stop the light from flashing, ensure that the vehicle is in 2WD mode and not in 4WD or diff lock when driving at speeds above 30 km/h. If the light continues to flash, it may be a sign of a malfunction in the differential system or switch, and you should have the system inspected by a qualified mechanic. Additionally, ensure that the vehicle's battery and electrical connections are in good condition, as poor connections can sometimes cause warning lights to behave erratically.
