All 3 ACD lights on?

I currently have all 3of my ACD lights on and I know this is a signal that the ACD isn't working properly, my question is, is it safe to drive while in this condition? I drive to the train station every morning for work about 4 miles round trip. Bringing the car in this weekend to get serviced.


Thanks

i had that problem with one of the evos that came out of my shop. there was a fuse blown under the hood near the battery.. or it might have been like right up on the battery somewhere i cant remember... it was a long time ago... did you say that there was light saying that ACD wasnt working? or r just all the light on?

Theres no extra light, when all three modes are on something isn't right.

Im in the same boat and i just started a motor build and bought rims and the whole nine yards

I'm not happy, I need to go back to stock if I want to take it to the dealer. (30k left on my warranty)

I had all my drivetrain fluids changed and the lights decided they still wanted to come on all together, im goin to beat up snow mode first, followed by gravel then finally tarmac.

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
Been on for 2 years now. Tracked, AXed, DD...no issues. Seems the units will still work in the cases I have seen (and my own).

Turn the car to the on but dont start the car. When turning the key to that position have your foot to the floor. This will turn on the ACD pump. It will run for 5s or so. It will prob turn on without issue.

I am willing to bet as these cars get older + mileage more and more will have this issue. Something is buggered in the ACD electircal or unit itself.

if the fluid is low or there is air in the system this will happen...might just need to bleed the system.
