I disagree. When my left rear abs sensor was faulty I had only rear wheel drive. Replaced the ABS sensor and all was normal including AWD. Now that these lamps are lit again I only have rear wheel drive.

If I disconnect the battery for 30 min and then connect them again I will have AWD for about 2 miles. Then rear wheel drive again. This makes sense though in order to save the drive train.
