Please, I want to know, if the "Active Traction" operates on both, front and rear axels. If it does, I want to know if I can use "Active Traction" in addition to the "Diferential Lock".
Thanks and regards.

Ya know, I could be wrong here, but I don't believe active traction is functional while 4WD is engaged. This function only works when driving with rear wheels, and that is to pervent fishtail.

TBall, I appreciate your interest to help me, but...
Now, I am sure there is a confusion, as far as I know, "active traction", only works when the F.J. is 4L, that implies that the F.J. is in engaged in 4WD, and goes at a very slow speed.
There is no way, to drive the F.J. only with rear wheels.
My doubt remains unsolved.
Thanks any way.

Ok, well, I don't know about yours, but I can drive with rear wheels only, and when I do, I can use traction control. Don't know what to tell ya.

Manolo,

I have that same question and more. I just bought the Active Traction Control button and installed it this weekend. After having read the manual (by the way Toyota owners manuals are the worst on the market today) it says that you engage the Active Traction Control in LL. This is what I did and the little green dashboard light came on telling me it's working. However, when you leave LL and go to 2 wheel or four high the light goes off. The manual says that you should leave it on, and the Active Traction Control will come on when its needed. Soooo, will the Active Traction Light come back on when the system automatically engages or what?

Please, go to toyotafjcruiserforums.com, there, go to: 4x4 / Off-Road Tech, then go to: "Making sense of TRAC, Auto LSD, ATRAC, VSC, & Rear Diff lock", this does not solve all our doubts but helps.
Regards.
Manolo

Thanx Manolo, That answers all my questions. A-Trac only works in 4 low. Which is good, but I don't use 4 low very much. That's for you left-coast rock climbers, not us midwest mudders :-)

Good post.

I'm still confused about one thing, do i just have to buy the button and plug it in or is it more complicated than that, and where does the button mount?

I am new to the FJs but from what I am aware, all you need is the switch. The button mounts in the second space from the left in top row of spots in the center console.
