Service AWD/4WD Indicator Lamp

Illumination of the Lamp indicates a problem with the drive system.
There will probably be a Transfer Case Code set to aid in diagnostics.

The only way to get the light to go off is to clear Transfer Case codes.
This light can NOT be shut off or reset any other way.
Transfer Case codes should be read and repaired before clearing them.
Refer to Transfer Case. See: Transfer Case\Testing and Inspection

The procedure for reading diagnostic trouble code(s) is to use a diagnostic scan tool. Read Diagnostic Trouble Codes Using a Tech 1, Tech 2 or Other Scan Tool.

When reading DTC(s), follow instructions supplied by tool manufacturer.
