HELP ME! Rear Diff Lock Issue

HELP ME! Rear Diff Lock Issue
Recently I drove my father's 2008 Land Cruiser 200 GX Manual through muddy road. The car got stuck. So I activated the center diff lock, shift into L4 mode and also activated the rear diff lock.
After succeeding to get out from the muddy road, I deactivated those functions. But the problem is, the rear diff lock is still engaged, and the rear diff lock indicator in the instrument panel is blinking.
I tried everything guided in the owner's manual, but the problem persisted.
Here I attach a picture of the blinking indicator that I mentioned above.
I hope somebody here can advice me on what can be done to deal with issue. This is my first experience using the diff locks in my entire life.
Thank you.

The differential locker can't shift out of locked unless there no torque difference between the left and right axle shafts. Turn the locker switch off, then slowly drive forward and slightly to the left. Continue to drive forward and then start steering slightly to the right. At some point between left and right there will be no load on the locking collar and it can shift out of locked position. If this doesn't work then you have some sort of an issue that will need to be investigated further.
