200 series GXL landcruiser 2014

Just had a gearbox lockup kit put in and remapped. Prior to this I had arb seperate the 2 start batteries one for starting and one to run my fridge in the back. After the lock up kit was installed the warning lights for ABS, Traction control and information lights came on the dash and won’t go off.

the car will not select low 4 wheel drive either. The mechanic who fitted this was stumped on what has gone wrong. Please advise thank you

Get on to the manufacturer of the lockup kit, immediately.  Get them to commit to a plan to fix it.

Don't waste your time asking on forums - you will get a stack of uninformed (and some informed) responses.  There are too many variables, options and configurations, to be able to provide you with a considered response.

Get on the mechanics back and make him fix it.  Both the main stream lockup kit providers have good reputations and while there were some concerns (codes) initially, these have all been ironed out.  There is a significant difference between a lockup kit and a remap - but they do go hand-in-hand (and required to be matched).

Meanwhile - get a copy of your original ECU map back.  The mechanic is required to upload and save it, before he starts work (every series of car is different).  Get it now - today (just in case).  If he doesn't have it - force the issue.

Good luck

I agree, but the mechanic still has a duty of care for the customer so he too should be on the horn trying to help figure this out too.

Totally agree Tony P.

I feel for Tony L's situation.  It sounds like the mechanic is out of his depth
