you will need access to GT1 to do the "Repair function", the actuator will work but it is not recommended, it may also be a good time to replace the transfer case oil. adaptation need to be done when you change the oil.

Is GT1 only a dealer tool or something anyone can purchase ? Is this the only tool to do this or is something else available ? And if so where can you purchase and how many $$$.I changed the oil 10,000k ago but did not get the values reset .I changed all the oils when I purchased the car, differentials,transfer box and transmission along with the engine oil of course.
