Conditions for Clearing the All-Wheel Drive (AWD) Disable Fault

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Aztek and 2003 Buick Rendezvous. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A scan tool can clear the fault.
The PCM clears the fault from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a non-emission related diagnostic fault occurring.
The PCM cancels the fault default actions when the fault no longer exists.

Important: When an AWD mini spare disable condition is present, after correcting the condition, the vehicle must be driven 0.5 km (0.3 mi) in a straight line and then brought to a complete stop before the PCM will command the AWD disable lamp OFF.
