get under you vehicle, around the very middle of your truck where the front drive shaft meets the rear drive shaft you will find your encoder motor, unplug it and you will always be in 2wd until you plug it back in. I learned this when by encoder motor seized on me and left my 4wd locked on inevitably causing horrible binding on turns.
They all can, but you have to remove the driveshafts - the AWD transfer cases (such as the NP136, used in the second generation Oldsmobile Bravada and AWD Blazers and Jimmys) cannot be set into a neutral position.
Smartrak is a awd system and can't be turned on and off. The computer senses slipage and engages the front axle as need for awd.
no reset switch in this system
No, it doesn't hurt, but why do it? If you have disabled the AWD, it won't be there when you need it, and disabling it does not affect things like gas mileage. The only time I would disable AWD would be if the car was being towed.
This means it is time to get the vehicle serviced. Take it in to a mechanic that will be able to give it the care that it needs.
i just took my 2002 bravada into the shop and had a friend look at it and he hooked it up to the computer and said that the transfer case encoder motor was bad. its the mechanism that switches it from 2wd to awd. i will be doing it myself. its an easy fix but will set you back around 150$ its a few bolts and a plug. it mounts onto the back of your transfer case. good luck.
Yes, the front CV shafts are necessary for the 1994 Oldsmobile Bravada if it has all-wheel drive (AWD). They are essential for transferring power from the transmission to the front wheels, enabling proper operation of the AWD system. Without functioning CV shafts, the vehicle may experience reduced traction and handling issues. If you're experiencing problems with the front axles, it's advisable to inspect or replace them.

To disable the all-wheel drive (AWD) on a 2000 Subaru Outback, you can use the center differential lock feature if your model is equipped with it. This can usually be done by pulling a lever or pressing a button on the dashboard, depending on your specific model. However, keep in mind that most Subaru Outbacks are designed for constant AWD, and disabling it may not be recommended as it can affect vehicle handling and safety. Always consult your owner's manual for specific instructions and warnings related to your vehicle.
AnswerFor the First Generation Murano there are 2 AWD lights, one that says AWD and one that says AWD LOCK. if the AWD Light is on, Then you have a Problem in the AWD System, if the AWD LOCK light is on, then your AWD is stuck on on, or you just have to turn it off.
