First error message on console
Last Wednesday I got the message "Locking System Inactive" on my ORP equipped GL. A little icon of the differentials shows up as well, and the light on the differential control knob was off.
Being as it was the long holiday weekend, and the vehicle seemed to be working fine, I ignored it. The message came up every time I started ever since.
So, I'm all ready to call & schedule service. I go out to the vehicle to get my mileage, and the exact wording of the message. Turn on key. No message. Start engine. No message. Look down at control knob, and the light is back on.
Pretty weird.
I left my service contact a voice mail, waiting on a return call now. I guess this is a fairly unusual thing, since there don't seem to be many ORP package here in the states.
Has anyone else here had this issue?
