“AWD off” message on long drive

2018 Sho
25k miles
Recently pulled 10oz of ptu fluid and replaced with Royal purple 75/140
Recent GH tune
Wife took car to Georgia ,approx.5 hour drive,when she got back home she said the “awd off” message displayed a few times ,she clicked “ok” and kept driving .She just told me this today,I’m curious if maybe I didn’t add enough gear oil to ptu or could this be tune related ?Gonna get in and check the PTU today but since 8 can’t suck all the oil out not sure how much to add or if this is even the problem.

Did you happen to check for Codes! Do you happen to have the Performance package! Need to add close to the same amount of PTU FLUID that came out. Z

Fill till the gear oil comes out the fill hole is the gold standard.  Def check codes.

Did the SHO get driven through heavy rain or run thru a high pressure carwash w underbody cleaning?  There could be dirt/grime/moisture in the connector for the ATC/RDU.

He doesn't mention he only replaced what he pulled out. He didn't put back in a full 18oz. Just watched him rage at someone on Facebook for saying the rest probably turned into mush lol

It probably did turn into mush.  The lifetime fluid has the propensity to do that.  Z and Shodded are right, fill it till it starts coming out of the fill hole.  Make sure the vent is secure, along with the fill plug.  Then like a mail man, SEND IT!

I told him he needed to put the full 18oz in and he called me a troll and blocked me...

This actually made my morning  :rofl2:. Stop giving bad advice troll lol

 

[jus2quik]

I take advice but nobody wants to seek help then get talked down to man

 

[jus2quik]

I pulled about 10oz out and put 10oz back in like I’ve been told,I followed advice and appreciated it,nobody wants to really seek advice then get hammered .if I should fill till it overflows slightly then that’s what I will do ,I don’t usually sit around and fight on the internet,In the Jeep groups I’m in I help out and don’t chastize or assume someone doesn’t know anything,each vehicle has its differences and I’ve been through a few,I think one guys just told me to take it to the dealer etc

 

[jus2quik]

Fiveleeter,I sent you an apology for this morning ,didn’t have my coffee yet!

Social media is a real crapshoot.  Since messaging occurs rapidfire, a lot of folks leave their filters off.  Can get ugly real fast.

It happens on this forum on occassion, but thankfully our members keep it to a minimum

 

[shoNoff]

It’s the internet, don’t take what most people say seriously. No need to rage on people trying to help. Guys here are very knowledgeable and will help you. Like many have told you fill it until it comes out of the filler hole and all should be good. You talked down to 2 people on here already. Do you think people want to jump to help you when you talked down to them? Treat people how you want to be treated.

 

[jus2quik]

I usually just talk to friends face to face,stuff like that doesn’t happen that way ,unfortunately unlike the Jeeps and off-road rigs I usually deal with this is a special car with little things like the ptu I don’t normally deal with .

 

[jus2quik]

Who have I talked down to?

 

[jus2quik]

That’s true what you said treat people how you want to be treated,someone treats you bad ,you mouth off back .Basically what happened...

 

[SHOdded]

Let's move on   I think we all understand each other now ...

You’ve redeemed yourself since your original post. All is good man it’s water under the bridge at this point. Let’s move on, fix your ride and put a smile on your face with that gh tune.

 

[ZSHO]

To the OP! Did you happen to check for Codes! Never received a response! PICS to share! Z

 

[jus2quik]

Just ran out and snatched the tire off,she took 8 more oz before started weeping out, thanks all and again sorry ,I’ll try to behave

 

[jus2quik]

Sorry buddy, I did immed. Check for codes and nothing was there. I wish my wife would have told me sooner but her being 5 hours away from home I could not have done much and trying to talk someone through adding ptu fluid wasn’t gonna happen,my family aren’t mecahnics,just farmers up that way.Thanks again !
