Have a local shop or auto parts store perform a "Fault Scan" - Most good auto parts stores will do it for you for FREE. They read the codes, print out what is wrong and reset your lights.

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.
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.
you need to check out the code first, I know ps701 can diagnose your car. Or you can take it to the auto zone or local dealer to check out, Hope help.....
my 99 honda crv, 2 wheel drive. turns on..drives for a period of time, then ramdomly shuts off and then i have trouble turning it on..but it does turn on eventually. it does this everyday
I have the same problem with my '98 Trooper - the TOD light, that is. Took it to a good shop for diagnosis. They said the TOD sensor was bad and it would cost abot $480 for the part. We were looking at a hefty bill, so decided to do without TOD for now. Manual 4WD still works fine. They said that Isuzu's arrogance that the transmission wouln't leak leaves us with a tiny 1/4" check port to fill through. We got concerned enough, and had over 180,000 miles, that we took it to a transmission shop and had it flushed and refilled correctly. To be honest, we now have 230,000 miles and don't really see any ATF leaks.
TOD light blinking means the TOD is sending a fault code. have the dealer check it out.
You can switch from 2WD to TOD-HI, at any speed below 50 MPH.
If you want to switch to TOD-LOW, you have to stop the car, put the transmission in Neutral, then turn the dial to TOD-LOW. When you switch out of LOW, do the same.
tod light flashes.
