Jeep JL/JT Diff Locks issues

[Gary F]

A couple of months ago I started getting Axle longer engaging/disengage notification on my Jeep Gladiator, nothing to worry about except it would randomly appear when I had not pressed the Axle Locker button.

This was rare until one day it also came with a warning to service the Axel locker and it would not longer function, this is a know issue on the JL/JT’s and covered under warranty, they replace the sensor in the differential and all should be good again.

If one guy Jeep should fire or make the entire dept redundant would be the brains behind this😅, Yes I had same issue, once on service axle locker system and now 3 times on rear diff locker all 3 times sensor issue and was covered under warranty hence got it fixed. 

 

@Julien Recan had similar issue in last drive ( To mention, I had no warnings until I reached home and then warning lights on abt rear diff locker) - Now all I do is assume its sensor issue and continue!

 I did some research into this what’s even crazier was that the whole unit with axle, differential and sensor was one unit and for some time was being replaced as an entire unit from Dana, before they made a sensor replacement kit. Kinda sad these days manufacturers make very little of a car themselves , rather assemble from suppliers.
