There is nothing wrong with the system. When the TOD is in auto it will only engage the front wheels when the rear wheels lose traction. Newer small SUVs have just the opposite, they are in front wheel drive until they lose traction and then engages the rear. Isuzu was ahead of its time with the TOD system.

    I have never come across a FRONT wheel drive trooper. They are rear wheel drive. The TOD kicks in when the REAR loses traction. If blinking or non-functional 4x4, you need to replace the vacuum solenoid actuator for the front differential.

You need a new vacuum solenoid actuator for your front differential. Runs about $200. It is easy to replace. The grease gums up after 14 years and causes it to get stuck.

SOURCE: my tod check light keeps

The place to start would be to scan your vehicle's computer network fo fault codes. Until this is done, there is nobody in the world that can do anything more than "GUESS" what could be causing your problems.

What is auto 4 wheel drive?

Auto 4 wd is when the Silverado's PCM takes readings from the front and rear driver shaft and when there is any detection that the speeds are different. The Auto 4WD will activate the transfer case to lock it self to 4wd until the front and rear drive shaft are running at the same given speed of rotation.

My rear wheel TOD lights are lite up green, I cant figure out how to turn it off

That is perfectly normal for when the TOD is not engaged. When it is engaged the fronts will light up according to how much torque is being sent to them. As long as the "CHECK" light on your TOD display is off, you are fine.
