I have cleared the codes using a C310+, but as soon as I start the car, the three lights come back on.

I read on this forum that I need to re-set the car for th enew resistor, but can't find anything on how to do this.

I also have the IPNA software running on a virtual machine on my laptop, and 3 OBD II cables, but when I try to use the software, I get a communication error?

How can I re-set the car to accept the new Actuator?

Have you driven the car since you changed the actuator?

If everything is working as it should the lights would clear within a very short distance driving.

Wash he said: you do have to drive to reset trifecta.

Is brake light red? Can mean TC oil wear.

I used the Autel Maxisys scanner to do this.

Yes, we have driven the car quite a bit. No change to trifecta.

Yes, brake light is red. I haver not noticed is any other colour.

4X4 light is orange, Brake light is red and ABS light is orangs.

All three have been these colours for some six months now (with the Actuator replaced about 4 months ago).

Which model is the scanner?

And what are the steps?

Please give a detailed step-by-step guide.

310 is a reasonable scanner but is it bidirectional?

Foxwell 5x0 will reset TC.

What are the actual errors?

Was the transfer case actuator new or used? A used one probably has a bad gear in it too. Open up the old one.

It's an Autel MS908P. I don't have it with me. I can look tomorrow.

Yes, 310 is Bidirectional (clears codes).

Error codes are

54C8 - Classification Resistor
5463 - Mechanism Faulty
