Rear Diff Overheat Light

[Rollercoaster]

The light is coming on before the diff could possibly be hot,

and it only comes on intermittently when the throttle is full down.

If I am pulling away sharpish the light flashes then its off.

What should I do about this?

 

My guess is maybe the oil has needed changing at a service,

its low, or thin, or something else is not right, any ideas?

Hi! Did you ever find out the cause of the problem?

I have the same issue- mainly flickering but seems sensitive to braking/accelerating forces. Usually goes off at a standstill.

I've replaced the sensor but no change to symptoms.

If it wasn't for the change between braking and accelerating, I'd suspect a cracked/broken wire (still possible I suppose)?

If anyone has a wiring diagram for a 2010 Diesel UK model, I'd love to trace the wire but no mention of the diff sensor in either of the fuse block diagrams in the users manual.

Many thanks for any info or suggestions anyone has!?
