Wife got Service AWD message today in the DIC. She just scrolled out of the screen back to the MPH readout, no further errors see, I drove it tonight, seemed fine. BUT when I hit the AWD button to turn it on it flashed 3 or 4 times and went out. I seem to recall the green light stayed on when you had AWD engaged. When I turned it off the light flashed 2 times and back out. Can anyone confirm my flashing lights on that button are wrong?
Also when I turn it on I can hear a click from under the TB.

It's not working ... I'd take her in ASAP.

I have an oil change sat set up but late in day they say they will try to see any codes but that will be it.

A flashing light is a signal of trouble in the All-Wheel-Drive system. When flashing the system is disabled and not functioning. This might be caused by a poor electrical connection, failed motor or actuator or perhaps a failed control module.

Now the flashing light is on the button to turn it off and on, not displayed in the DIC.

They can pull the code retroactively. Can you replicate the sound?

it does it every time I turn it on. Seems to be coming from bottom of the TB. That said it may have been doing it all the time I just never listed for it since there were no warning lights till now and I am listening for anything that seems out of place. I suspect there prob is an issue since the light on the button does not stay on when I turn on the AWD.

Wife drove the TB today. I checked it out when I got home. All is well now. Light flashes when turned on and stays on, goes off as expected when shut off. The Clicking noise is gone now also, just a small gear motor engagement sound that I have always heard. Hope there is a code to show what happened.

A flashing AWD light is usually a sign of some sort of problem with the system. I have the 2022 Trailblazer RS AWD and as long as you're not going over 45 mph, it will engage. The AWD light flashes 2-3 times on the dash and then remains illuminated and were it said 2WD, now says AWD.

I would definitely take it back to the dealership and have it checked out. Hope this helps👍

Got the oil changed. There was a TSB for a module of some sort at the rear end part of the awd. Just a software update fixed it.
