4x lights flashing (4hi, 4lo, locking center diff)

So just got my SWEET 07 sequoia and made the mistake of not testing the 4x4 before I bought it, now planning a trip to the snow and decided to test it out with failure results

I have the 4hi 4lo and the locking center diff light lit up and flashing at me!

This truck is MINT so I am willing to bet the previous owner NEVER used the 4x4.

I need to know which route to go- front actuator? Center actuator?
Is there a rebuild that I can do on these or is it just straight replacement?

did you get the owner's manual? it might give you a course of action
might be something simple but have no clue.

trucks need to be put in 4WD at least monthly to keep stuff working correctly.

for the record- Camelback toyota is stepping up BIG TIME and fixing this for me for free!
The problem- The center motor contacts got caught between two phases causing the ECU to freak out and not know what to do.
The fix- replace the center acuator- 2600 was the quote with 1200 being part alone!
CYCLE YOUR 4WD EVERY NOW AND AGAIN PEOPLE!!!!
