I absolutely agree that one sensor should not disable the entire system. A wheel speed sensor goes out, I can see a case for disabling traction control and trail turn assist, not the whole system. It's unlikely both front or both rear are going to go out so the system should be able to use the other for redundancy. There shouldn't be too many situations where 4x4 should be completely disabled electronically short of complete harness damage.Easiest thing is probably just to disconnect the wheel speed sensor and see if it lets you switch to 4-High or 4-Low. I'm sure if you switch to 4-Auto it's going to scream and yell at you non-stop and throw you back to 2-High. But hopefully it'll let you switch to 4-High or 4-Low.
Granted there are a bunch of other sensors involved as well, but out of all of the sensors the wheel-speed sensor is likely going to be the one that breaks first out on the trail.
