Some INFINITI QX60 AWD owners report experiencing unresolved malfunction alerts related to the AWD system, often indicated by warning messages while driving. These alerts may be exacerbated in cold weather conditions, where temperatures below -18C (0F) can trigger an AWD ERROR message and store a specific diagnostic trouble code (DTC C1204) related to the AWD solenoid. Additionally, some owners encounter specific error codes such as p0456 and p0461, which may persist even after replacing the gas cap, requiring further investigation. The Stop Vehicle warning light may also activate, signaling that the AWD system is entering protection mode due to high temperatures in the multiple disc clutch rather than indicating a true malfunction. Furthermore, issues related to the Forward Collision Warning (FCW) malfunction and error codes like DTC C1A27 can impact the AWD system's performance. To effectively address these ongoing AWD malfunctions, some owners find that replacing the AWD Control Unit is necessary, and it is advisable to consult with an INFINITI retailer or qualified technician for a thorough diagnosis and service.
