I have to make a correction. The Talon owner said the 4wd was working but the light would not clear. He said the 4wd diagram was showing to be working, so I guess the 4wd was actually not disabled after the flat.
But I sure appreciate the reset instructions to clear the light!!
The i-4WD probably stopped working while the problem existed and resumed once fixed. The light may stay on even after a problem is resolved to indicate a code has been stored and will stay on until the code is cleared.
The codes, failures, detection and fails safes on the i-4WD system are complex. There are over 30 codes, each having multiple failure reasons and 3 different detection periods. Initial Ignition on, Over 19 MPH and always detecting. All codes stop i-4WD as long as the problem is still detected.
If you do ever get the light, I suggest reading and recording the code(s) before clearing them (and it is somewhat complex to read them with the light but it can be done). You don't really need the tool. I carry a 20 gauge solid core wire stripped about 1/4" at both ends with me at all times.
DTC's have a first number and then a second like 1-1 or 2-3 and there are codes like 12-1 and 15-8...
