My 04 500 ATP has been doing wierd things with the AWD. When mudding a couple monthes ago, I noticed the front end (drive) would kick in when I was trying to spin the rear tires. I put the selector in "2WD" and "AWD", same results. I checked the computer diagnostics and it shows the switch to be working correctly, it shows "AWD" "Off" when the switch is off and "ON" when it's on. The "turf" mode is working correctly.
Today I played with it more, it the snow, so it's easier to see which tires are spinning. With the AWD switch in "AWD" or "2WD" it acts the same. After the rear tires spin a turn or 2 the front end kicks in and starts spinning too.
I have cleaned the sensors on the front hubs, and everything on the quad is pretty clean. I talked to the dealership mech, and he had seen this happen to abused quads, that always have mud caked on them, and none of the fluids ever changed. This is not the case for mine. All fluids are changed regularly and kept as clean as I can. I also just replaced the drive belt and CV boots.
Thanks,
Travis
