This light indicates that your vehicle's All-Wheel Drive or Four-Wheel Drive system has detected a fault and is not functioning as intended. The system may have switched to two-wheel drive mode to protect itself while you drive.

What to do

  1. 01Check your owner's manual for any specific manufacturer instructions regarding the light.
  2. 02Verify that all tires are of the same size and brand, as mismatched tires can cause system errors.
  3. 03Schedule an appointment with our shop to have the system scanned for diagnostic trouble codes.

Other common causes

Common causes include failing wheel speed sensors, low transfer case fluid, worn-out differential components, or a faulty control module.

How we check it

We will perform a comprehensive system scan to retrieve diagnostic codes and inspect the transfer case and driveline components.

Symbols vary by make and model — always confirm in your owner's manual. If the light is red, the car feels different, or the light is blinking, stop and call us before driving further.
