AWD light on

Warning Light is on Inspection $94.99 - $114.99 Get a Quote

Hello - I would first use a scan tool that can access problem codes from your AWD system (will likely be specific to your manufacturer) to determine what is wrong with your AWD system. This will expedite accurate diagnosis and repair of the problem. I would recommend a AWD problem code inspection by a mobile, professional mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, who will come to your location, diagnose this problem, give you an accurate assessment of damage and cost estimate for repairs.
