Find out why the light is on and fix the problem the Versatrak system is complex so its not a easy question
I have a Rendezvous with the same problem. The AWD Disable light was on constantly along with the antilock brake light. It caused the acceleration to die when I get past a certain RPM too. The fix was to check the wire pairs that go through corrugated wire tubing and a connector and then into the inner wheel of each wheel. Each wheel has a wire pair going into it on the inside of the wheel. The wires are for reading the wheel speed (RPM) for the computer. I found the wire connector had pulled apart. The wires werent long enough for the car to make a hard turn and happend to pull out during a sharp turn while parking. I released some of the wire bundle clamps that gave the wires more room for turning and then just plugfed the wire connector back into the other connector plug and the problem went away. If it doesnt fix the problem, you should check all the other wires on all 4 wheels for a disconnected or broken wire.
There are several reasons why an AWD light comes on in a Buick Rendezvous. A few reasons could be burned oil, gear oil is hot, or even a burned out clutch.
Chances are is a corroded wire in the wheel speed sensor wires or your front wheel bearing which is a common problem for the rendezvous

To turn off the AWD disabled light on a Buick Rendezvous, first ensure that the vehicle is in the correct operating mode by checking the AWD switch, which should be set to "Auto" or "On." If the light persists, it may indicate a malfunction in the AWD system, so checking for any diagnostic trouble codes with an OBD-II scanner can help identify the issue. Additionally, resetting the vehicle's computer by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes might clear the warning light, but if it remains, it's advisable to consult a mechanic.
The Buick Rendevous AWD was introduced in 2001 but it was actually not offered for sale until 2002. AWD stands for all-wheel-drive. This model was made in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico and was discontinued in 2007.
I have a 2005 Rendezvous with the optional Versatrak AWD and I get around 20-22 mpg mix driving.
The easiest way is to look under the body of the Rendezvous and see if there is a drive shaft connected to a transfer case on the rear wheels. If there's no drive shaft, it's FWD, if there's a shaft, it's AWD.
Yes, a Buick Rendevous does have an easy access panel to the fuel pump.
The Buick Rendezvous features an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system that operates automatically. When driving, the system distributes power between the front and rear wheels as needed to enhance traction, especially in slippery conditions. There are typically no manual controls; the vehicle detects when AWD is required. However, you can check the owner's manual for specific details related to your model year and any additional features.
To disable the AWD (All-Wheel Drive) disabled light, first ensure that the vehicle is in the correct driving mode, as some vehicles require specific settings for AWD to function properly. Check the owner's manual for instructions on resetting the system or turning off the AWD feature. If the light persists, it may indicate an underlying issue with the AWD system, and it's advisable to have the vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic.
