As I started driving after being at a light, I heard a loud clunk and the the AWD started flashing on and off for about one mile until it disappeared
What is your question?
I was stopped at red light and I began to drive the car made a loud clunk sound and the AWD flashed on and off the dashboard until it stopped flashing after driving one mile. This morning while driving on some ice the AWD started flashing and it seemed like I lost traction from two wheels. Then every thing went back to normal.
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2007 Mazda CX-9. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
The “clunk” noise was likely the AWD disengaging under engine load - this will require *hands-on* test by qualified personnel - using diagnostic equipment..
Hopefully there will be some clues the scan tool can retrieve.
Good luck!
