Neutral Tow

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The neutral tow feature is a program embedded in the 4X4 control module, which must be activated by a dealer technician. The neutral tow feature disengages the wheels from the powertrain by shifting the transfer case to the NEUTRAL position. This allows the vehicle to be towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. To activate the neutral tow feature, the dealer technician must access the 4X4 control module through the scan tool and data link connector. Once communication is achieved, the technician can request the neutral tow feature be enabled. The technician must also install the neutral tow indicator lamp in order for the feature to be activated.
