Service AWD... It's a FWD car...

[Sportranger]

Hello everyone!

I am new here and looking for some guidance on my GF's 2007 Equinox. She got it cheap and want's to keep it going so she can pay off her student loans quickly. I have worked through several issues and working on a few more to make it a reliable road-trip/commuter car. However, there is an interesting fault with it. It has a hard set Service AWD light that my simple Auto scanner can't clear. The kicker is, the car is FWD... trust me, the rear diff and drive shaft aren't there. Is this something I can clear if I purchase a Tech2 scanner/emulator?

Thanks for your help!

Pay the $100 and have the dealer clear it.

Put a piece of electrical tape over the light.

That’s interesting, maybe it had a pcm installed at some point and someone programmed it wrong? Might need more than a code clear
