4 Lo(w) is the the mode used for severe low speed 4WD conditions such as steep hills and very slippery conditions . It is a very low range so any continued use at high speed will stress the 4WD components. The truck must be stopped and the transmission in neutral in order for it to engage or disengage.

How do you switch from 4wd to 2wd on your 94 jeep grand Cherokee auto trans there is a lever on the floor says 4wd high 4wd low and neutral do you put lever into neutral to make jeep rwd?

This vehicle has full-time 4wd. There is no option to make it rear-wheel drive.


How are the 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokees v6 2wd?

It depends on the model, I guess. I have a 1998 Grand Cherokee Laredo. It's gear box has 5 settings: 2WD, Part-time 4WD, Full Time 4WD, Neutral, and 4WD Low. The forward most setting, the one where the gear handle sits flat, is 2WD. On the small diagram on the console, you will see that only the rear wheels show green if it is in 2WD. Pulling straight up on the lever while the main shift lever is in neutral will put you in part-time 4WD. If you want full-time 4WD, you must push the lever to the right from this point and pull back to find 4 Hi. For 4 low, you pull back again, then to the left, then back again.

If the fwd light blinks on a Montero Sport what does this mean?

Pretty sure that means that the 4WD is in the process of engaging. Blinks for a few seconds then stays on. Mine sometimes blinks while in 2WD whether I'm using 4WD or not. Research on internet suggests it's fairly common problem and probably due to misaligned sensor. Since I've tested my 4WD/2WD (on ice) to see whether it was going in and out of 4WD correctly I placed window tint plastic over light so it would stop buggin' me...;) Sometimes may take a few miles of driving for it to go out. Usually after some starts and stops. Sometimes shifting into and driving in reverse a little bit does it too.
