How does the 4wheeland drive Work

The leak looks like the water pump and it hasn't over heated with it has never got much above normal.
Well that sucks if traction control does fail you lose power to the rear and all you have is the one front that is spinning.
Here are the codes i have. P1590. P0420. P0307. P0441. P0455. P0300. P0307.
I just order new cats. and the other day it started to miss but then it quit in like 2to mins.

TC is a big help but it will leave you stuck if it is all you are relying on.

What happens if traction control fails? Does it just spin one tire?
Without electronic traction control, and with center differential Not shifted into locked position, that center differential acts the same as any front or rear differential without locking employed. In other words, that center differential allows spinning of one driveshaft, either front or back with one wheel on that axle spinning free due to insufficient traction, some surfaces, on that wheel. The earliest Jeeps and Land Rovers (series land Rovers) were this way, as they had no center differential lock, and certainly no electronic traction control, both came later. However, moving ahead historically, if you have the center differential shifted into full locked position, it reacts same as would front/rear differential with lockers, that prevents one tire only spinning, but both wheels on that axle are engaged, so both wheels spin, or provide power. With center differential locked, both front and rear drive shafts are engaged together, so one wheel in front AND one in rear must spin free to be stuck, but when your Rover engages, automatically, the Rover developed Electronic Traction Control, those two spinning wheels experience brake pulsing, engaging power to the opposite wheels on both axles, making for a truer four wheel drive system. Theoretically, the only way you could get stuck, is to get high centered. ETC takes place up to around 30 mph and partially, up to around 60 mph, if I recall correctly. In high range, at speeds over 60 mph., you have normal four wheel drive, unlocked center, front, and rear differentials. Remember, though, that with center differential locked, you should avoid driving on firm surfaces, such as pavement, that don't allow for tires to be able to spin freely, front to back axles, as you get "wind up" which can destroy front differential, axles, etc. (trust me, I know all about this aspect, as I have literately torn my front drive train to pieces doing exactly as I am now advising you to avoid). Further, with CDL engaged, you should try to drive only in straight line, with little, or better yet, no turning. The more slippery the surface, i.e. snow/ice, the less critical it is to observe this carefully. REMEMBER, WITH CENTER DIFFERENTIAL LOCK, AND ROVER ELECTRONIC TRACTION CONTROL, YOU ARE ABLE TO GET SERIOUSLY STUCK IN PLACES NOBODY ELSE DARES TO GO!
