Probably coincidental and unrelated, but I had the 4x4 light come on not long after a wheel alignment with new tires. Ended up being the steering angle sensor that someone else mentioned. Cheap aftermarket part and fairly easy replacement if you can find the DIY that doesn’t require you to get under the car.

I did use INPA to confirm it was the angle sensor before replacement. Angle numbers would jump immediately to max (or was it min?) when turning one direction.
