it plugs into the sensor thats bolted to the tranmission. It's right in front of the rear tranny mount...... If your speedo works, then chances are it has nothing to do with it...... Take your car by the dealership, and they can bleed it for you. They have to hook it up to a machince, that cycles through all the ACD modes, while opening the bleeder valve on the t-case to get any air out that might be trapped in it. Did you do anything to your car recently, or to the t-case/transmission to make those lights come on in the first place??

You could have something going on with the ACD pump too.... Make sure everything is plugged in to it.

Besides the fact that the lights are all on, are you having any issues while driving it?

I would take it by a shop that can hook a scanner up to it and see if they can communicate with it at all..... I'd tell you to bring it by my shop, but i'm thousands of miles away from you! ha ha ha

In the manual, it says contact the dealer if all 3 lights are illuminated. I had this issue and this is what happened...

The dealer asked if i recently had the clutch replaced? Because if so, the line may need to be bled and the ACD needs to be reset. I didn't have the clutch replaced so I brought it in and they checked it out. The lights would come on during both regular driving and during hard acceleration. They ultimately found there was a relay issue with the ACD pump, and they replaced the ACD pump.

Hope this helped, let us know what happens.
