The AWD light comes on if I go over 50 mph. Just replaced motor and right front strut (from Subaru, not aftermarket strut). The manual says its from different tire pressure, but that has been checked, as well as new tires. I am truly at wits end. I miss my Trar! Any ideas where to go from here?

Thank you. Question, the picture is kind of hard to read. Is that for each wheel, or is it one for the front and one for the back? And how do you know which one is bad/malfunctioning?

That is for each wheel should be similar for front and rear. Once you do the scan it will show the code telling you which wheel is effected.
