Shifted into low gear early in the night and oil light flashed once for one second but ran good. Put back in high and continued on with ride no issues

Got into mud later in night and put it in 4wd (non lock) and in low gear. Was running good at first then the oil light started flashing and had very low power. I didn't bring the rpms up enough to hit rev limiter.


Came to a stop and was idling bad and wouldn't stay running. I had to keep re starting it and was in kinda like a limp mode. Wouldnt rev up and was barely moving. Oil light was flashing at times.

Got out of mud (barely since it was in a limp mode) and put it in high gear 2wd and it ran fine all the way home.

Checked oil and it was perfect.

Sounds like an ECU issue?

Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!

If it isn't truly low on oil pressure and instantly when the light comes on it runs badly..and only when in Low range, I would think, because the gear indicator selector only provides a ground for the LEDs in the dash, that something else is also being grounded that shouldn't. Look for any connections or connectors that got water in them from a previous ride in water and mud of in the cleaning process first...and don't rule-out the ECU connector. Nothing on any CFM is truly water proof..
