Problem overview

Some INFINITI Q50 AWD owners report experiencing issues with the AWD warning light activation due to problems with the front low-light sensor, which can lead to malfunctions in the automatic lights. Additionally, some drivers have noted receiving AWD error warnings alongside activations of the ABS and traction control lights, suggesting potential system malfunctions. Cold weather conditions are also cited as a trigger for AWD warning lights, often accompanied by collision warning lights that may necessitate sensor replacements. Furthermore, sudden activation of AWD overheat and error warnings while driving at high speeds raises concerns that warrant further investigation. In some cases, the AWD error message prompts drivers to consult the owner's manual and may be associated with jerking while driving, indicating a serious issue that requires immediate attention. To accurately diagnose the cause of the AWD warning light activation, it is advisable for owners to have their vehicle scanned, as the issue could be linked to the ABS control unit or sensors. Prompt resolution of these issues is essential for the safety and proper functioning of the vehicle.
