I've been having issues over the past few months. Warning lights will come with wrench warning tell me to check 4x4. then the lights will eventually turn off. when the lights are on I can't change modes, so can't go to 4A or other GOAT modes. More recently the stabar disconnect warning light will come on and then go off. I took it to the dealer and on on the third time they told me i need a new AWD module. that does make sense to me as my AWD does not feel right, certainly when going in reverse. its a $1200 fix. Does anyone know if this is the right thing? this is a 21 with about 85000 miles on it. I'm worried there is more to this after reading some other posts on here. thanks

Was getting 4x4 power train fault randomly, would go out by itself. Turned out to be the battery, it was holding charge for the most part, but it miserably failed load test. I think most parts stores can do a battery load test(for free), may be worth a check. I see it’s a ‘21 with 85k are you still on original battery. If so, that may be a less expensive fix than AWD module. However, if they diagnosed it as AWD module and you say it hasn’t been feeling right in AWD then maybe it is the module.
