My 2016 Honda HRV is an All Wheel Drive. The AWD light just came on after you start it and it stays lit. Sometimes it takes a minute for it to come on, but when it does, it stays on till I turn the car off. The car drives the same. What should I do? What is the problem?

The light indicates that there’s a problem with AWD and the vehicle has switched to front wheel drive only. You’re not the only owner with this problem but I don’t know the solution and from what I can tell neither do Honda dealers.

First thing to do is get it scanned. Retrieve the codes, post them here. That will help point to the right direction.
