I own a 2002Jeep Wrangler. When I engage the 4WD the dash light indicates part-time 4WD.

How can I shut off the maintenance required light on a 2006 Toyota Highlander?
Part time 4wd means that both the front and rear axels are locked together for maximum traction. Part time should only be used in slippery situations like snow and mud. If you use it on dry pavement it will wear your 4wd components and tires. Full time 4wd enables you to drive in 4wd in all weather from dry pavement to snow since it allows the front and rear axles to rotate at different speeds. A light only illuminates on the dash if you are in part time or low, it will not illuminate if you are in full time. the other three answers are wrong. obviously they arent jeep owners.Is there an e-mail address for Carroll Shelby?
part time 4wd means the transfer case only engages when traction is needed with a slip sensed. Full time mean 4wd is always engaged.Which company made mini cooper? Is is BMW or Chrysler.?

connormar9590 is correct. the others are wrong, it use to be that way. the "full" meant the tires were full, but peple thought it meant they could use it "full" time, so they switched. if you want to test it out yourself, put it in one of the two and turn in circles, if your jeep feels like its "hopping" then you have all 4 tires trying to move at the same time that setting is for offroad use only, the other woulf be for street use.How do you put an alternator back on a 1987 dodge omni?
Part time 4WD is just that, its only used on surfaces that allow at least one wheel to slip because part time 4WD locks the front and rear axles together mechanically. So if you try driving on dry pavement in part time 4WD and go around a corner the wheels will scrub the pavement because they can't spin at different speeds.98 Buick Century A/C clutch will not kick in?
Full time 4WD is always engaged, or can be left engaged on dry pavement due to viscous couplers in the transmission/transfer case that allow the front and rear axles to spin at different speeds. These systems usually have a torque split of 50/50 or 60/40. As with the Jeep system it transfers power to the rear axle until a wheel slip is sensed and then the viscous couplers engage the front driveline. This system has the capability to send full torque to either axle.

OPERATING RANGES
NV242 operating ranges are 2WD (2-wheel drive), 4x4 part-time, 4x4 full time, and 4 Lo.
Would you get a warranty for a 81k SAAB 9-5 3.0L diesel? Reasons yes/no are gratefully recieved :-)?
The 2WD and 4x4 full time ranges can be used at any time and on any road surface.
The 4x4 part-time and 4 Lo ranges are for off road use only. The only time these ranges can be used on hard surface roads, is when the surface is covered with snow and ice.
You've got the NV231 T-case, but the 241 gives the better explanation.
