Default BF 750 dash lights blinks 2wd4wd. What's up

I have a 750 Bruteforce and when I'm in 4wd the dash light blinks back and forth 4wd2wd over and over. Everything seems to be working fine. Anyone know what this is, and is it covered under warranty? Thanks.

Actuator Control System Trouble Shooting,
When the actuator fails, the controller enters failure mode and the indicator light illuminates 2WD,4WD alternately.
1. If it alternates really fast at .5 seconds on 2wd and .5 seconds on 4wd then the problem is Selectable 2wd/4wd actuator.
2. If it alternates from 2wd/4wd at 1 second intervals, the problem is the Engine Brake Actuator.
3. If it alternates from 2wd/4wd at 2 second intervals, the problem is both the selectable 2wd/4wd actuator and Engine brake actuator.

I assume this should be covered under warranty?

mine did that and it was the actuator control module and yes, it was covered under warranty for me.

Before taking it to the dealer, see if you can reset the flashing by either momentarilly removing battery cable (+ or -) or reconnecting the control module (little black box next to the igniter under the seat). What you are trying to do is to reboot the control module which always has 12 vdc to it even if ignition is turned off. It could be a simple hickup in the control module if you can reset it, or it went completely bad if it can't reset.
