    My AWD is on and won't go off. I had a flat tire, thought maybe that was the problem but it's still on.

Our 2002 did the same thing. Easy cheap fix! Pull the wheel off and check the wiring that goes to the wheel sensor. You will find after removing a few inches of wrap, a broken wire or two. This could be on either wheel, so check both. Fix the wires back up and you are good to go. Hope this helps!

I had the same problem and had it diagnosed at the garage I work for and it was the rear awd actuator on the rear axle pumpkin which is costly to replace and only GM has them also changed the Versatrack fluid and it solved my problem !

    That is the correct answer. For ABS issues, replace the harness.

2002 buick rendezvous "awd disable" lite comes and stays on.

The most common cause for this problem that I see is a failed rear "Differential oil flow valve". You would need someone to hook up to the vehicle with a scan tool and retrieve the service code to know for sure but the valve is usually the culprit in most cases. There may be a code that says something like "rear axle over temp condition" and this relates to the valve problem. There are other things that can cause the AWD light to come on so it's always good to check first before replacing parts as the valve is fairly expensive. Good luck, hope this helps!

If your talking about the AWD lite coming on yes that is important and needs checked out, can cause severe damage to what they call a transfer case and on this model the trans to. Could be nothing but needs checked to determine.

AWD Light stays on

3rd dealer stated that the problem was in the differential pump valve, when the temperture sensor was giving a false reading and disconnecting the rear wheel drive. Replaced with GM Part 88896067, and it solved the problem. Mechanic stated that if it is ONLY the AWD light, then this is usually the problem. If the ABS Disable light also goes on, then it is the harness on the wheel sensor.
