Because the diff lock is just a proximity switch so that would mean all factory diff lock cars would log a code every time the locker is engaged. On another note i'll check next service if it has because i've just hooked up a switch to it

There are two blue wires with yellow trace in this bundle so you have to choose the correct one (which is of a smaller diameter than the other) .Earthing this wire will disable all of the electronic braking,without any dramas,as it is the sensor wire that makes sure that when the diff lock is engaged no electronic braking is applied.By earthing it you are tricking the computer into believing that the imaginary diff lock is engaged.
It is very easy to run this wire up around the passenger footwell and behind the dash from this point and with the use of a relay powered from the 4wd light could be only engaged whilst in low range 4wd for example.I havnt got this far yet but intend to do this as a safety feature,so that if the toggle switch is left on by mistake,the abs and stability are switched back on when high range is engaged.
Hope this helps someone, who like me gets pissed of with traction control in soft sand. J
