warning light in DCCD in snow?

NorCALSpeed · 01-06-2007, 03:02 AM

hey everyone. we got 8-10 inches here in co this morning. i love the snow but got stuck in some 10 pile for 5 min. i dug the tires out and got out and my dccd warning light was on. i turned the car off and back on and the light is gone. what could it be? should i get it checked out at the dealer?

differential warning light? If so overheated diffs.

Did you check the owners manual?

There is no DCCD warning light. Only the rear diff temp warning light, battery, abs, etc...all located right below the tach.

in the manual it says that if the lower green diff light flashes, it means there is a problem with the dccd. its the same light that indicates full rear in manual mode, but it flashes.

Yup there is a problem......The manual states if the center diff borks it will autimatically revert to 'open' mode and blink to let you know there is a problem..

yeah thats what it said, then i turned the car off and when i started it again the light was off. could it have overheated or something when i was rocking it to get out of the snow?
