Re: My rear wheel TOD lights are lite up green, I cant...
That is perfectly normal for when the TOD is not engaged. When it is engaged the fronts will light up according to how much torque is being sent to them. As long as the "CHECK" light on your TOD display is off, you are fine.

got the PT 4wd system?
or the TOD system.?
left dash cluster, see graphic of wheels etc.? that is TOD
we cant guess drive lines here. all are optional day one made in Japan.
if part time , its for ice only or offroad, never dry pavement.
are you? on dry pavement? cant guess that either.
using 4wd on dry pavement. 2003 Rodeo !
part time is for dirt or ice roads only.
so are you using 4L on pavement, yes, then dont if car is part time.
post your vin or tell what 4wd system you have.
do you have TOD option?, Torque on demand.
so do post what wheels (tires) are touching, in 4L.
if in 4L. now.
we cant guess road surfaces...
if attempting PT on dry roads, stop doing so.
or you will windup the driveline and damage it.
i cant find the options list on Rodeos. seems 2wd or part time.
here is how TOD works, and is totally different that PART TIME.
Have your owners handbook? The TOD system is explained in that and may offer an answer. Its a traction on demand system (TOD) and will have sensors and switches. I believe it runs the back axle at normal conditions but switches to both axles when traction is low or lost. If you haven't a handbook you might find one online for down load or just to read or it would be in a manual like haynes or chiltons.
There is nothing wrong with the system. When the TOD is in auto it will only engage the front wheels when the rear wheels lose traction. Newer small SUVs have just the opposite, they are in front wheel drive until they lose traction and then engages the rear. Isuzu was ahead of its time with the TOD system.
chock front wheels so car cant move jack up rear of car see if you can turn the wheel easley remoave tire .look onout side of drum on stud for hokding clips ,you can take them off with a screwdriver or just pry them off or turn them off back off adjuster tap lightely on drum and it should come off
The place to start would be to scan your vehicle's computer network fo fault codes. Until this is done, there is nobody in the world that can do anything more than "GUESS" what could be causing your problems.
sounds like a sensor - when did it start - if just cranked up one day and bam it is there - sounds like either a brake wear indicator issue - if they are connected in those - or a fluid level change in the rear end or transfer case - look for leaks and check the brake pads or shoes
We have a 1998 Trooper that had the same problem. The fix was an electronic switch for the 4WD - a vacuum sensor - on the front axle that just plugs in. You can see it - if you look under the car from the front, it's mounted in the middle of the front axle. It cost $175 from the dealer. We had somebody install it for $50. Don't know where you live, but they are exposed and can corrode. That's what happened to ours. Good luck - hope it's the same problem. This was an easy fix, and we were pleased.
