Can anyone eleborate on this please Cheers George.

When you engage the CDL and then turn on the ignition you will get the TC, HDC and ABS lights on along with the CDL/ 4Wd symbol warning light on.
When it is like this your TC and HDC is disabled and you have a regular 4wd.
If you have the engine already running and Engage CDL you will only get the CDL warning light come on and your TC and HDC will still be enabled. Because the CDL is locked the TC only has to take care of 2 wheels at anytime instead of 4 at anytime. Contrary to some ideas. The TC does not operate in a reduced capacity with the CDL engaged.

I am not a fan of snipping wires. Simply because you no longer have a warning about the CDL being engaged and run the risk of forgetting (paricularly if others drive your vehicle) and stuffing Transfers etc.

Motor on or off When you engage the CDL will determine your TC capabilities.
