Today I went to my dealer. They dumped the computer and found 2 codes, I forgot to get them. The codes pointed to the "Duty Solenoid". I am not to sure what this is; but the Service Technician says that this is the solenoid that enables the rear wheel drive. There is another possible problem; but it could only not cause both codes. The second part is a speed sensor wiring harness.
I am now driving without the RWD; but I am driving. Next Thursday I will get it fixed.
Can I get some feedback on what the "Duty Solenoid" does?
I will write more after the fix.
