Why is my AWD light coming on (solid) in cold weather only?

Asked by GuruD5TV66 Jan 23, 2024 at 12:03 PM about the 2015 Honda CR-V LX AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Last week when it was 20 degrees or less, my AWD light came on solid
when I started the car. It stayed on until I made it to work. When I left work
and it had warmed up, it did Not come on. It's done this a few more times on
cold mornings especially, and doesn't seem to come on when it's warner
(usually above freezing). Not sure what the issue is... Mechanic reset the
dash system, and it didn't help/fix the issue.

Probably a wiring issue in that system, law of expansion and contraction, start with connectors, if nothing there then onto grounds and main wiring. Your going to need a wiring diagram of the entire circuits.

Maybe the programming think you should be locked in AWD when it is below freezing because of possible icing of the roads. Call a Honda dealer and ask someone in service.
