Hey buddy, if your Nissan Rogu's
0:01
dashboard is flashing that AWD error or
0:04
forward D error, same thing. It's got
0:07
you second-guessing every turn. Don't
0:09
sweat it. Nine times out of 10, you can
0:11
reset it yourself in under 20 minutes
0:13
with a quick sensor wipe and battery
0:15
disconnect. Let's get your Rogu's
0:17
all-wheel drive system back on track so
0:19
you're not limping along in frontwheel
0:20
mode. First off, park your Rogue on a
0:23
flat spot and pop the hood. Safety
0:25
first. Grab some gloves. The most common
0:27
culprit, those wheel speed sensors on
0:29
your tires getting caked with road grime
0:31
or salt. Just grab a soft rag and some
0:34
brake cleaner from your toolbox. Then
0:35
gently wipe around each wheel hub where
0:37
the sensor sits, front and rear. It'll
0:39
clear any crud blocking the signal to
0:41
your car's AWD module. And boom, that
0:44
error off and vanishes right there. I
0:47
had this one guy roll in last week
0:48
swearing his 18 Rogue was toast. Turned
0:51
out it was just winter slop on the
0:52
rears. Wiped him clean and he was
0:54
grinning on his way out. Okay, so if the
0:56
light's still stubborn, check your tire
0:58
sizes next. You know, make sure all four
1:00
on your Rogue match up perfectly. Uneven
1:02
diameters throw off the AWD computer's
1:05
brain, thinking something's slipping
1:06
when it's not. Eyeball them side by side
1:09
or measure the tread depth quick. If
1:10
one's off, swap or rotate to even it
1:13
out. That alone resets the balance
1:15
without touching a wire. Well, um,
1:17
another sneaky one. Low fluid in your
1:19
rear differential. That's the gear oil
1:22
keeping your Rogu's AWD clutch happy.
1:24
Pop open the fill plug under the back
1:26
end near the drive shaft and peek inside
1:28
with a flashlight. If it's below the
1:30
threads, top it off with Nissan Madic S
1:32
fluid. About a quart should do. Overfill
1:35
is a no-go, though. It'll just leak and
1:37
make a mess. Pro tip: Do this every
1:40
30,000 mi anyway to keep things smooth.
1:43
Now, for the full reset, grab a wrench
1:45
and head to your Rogu's battery in the
1:47
engine bay. Disconnect the negative
1:50
cable first, that black one with the
1:52
minus sign, for about 5 minutes. It
1:54
clears any glitch in the ECU module
1:57
controlling your AWD system. Reconnect
2:00
it snug, fire up the engine, and drive a
2:02
short loop around the block. The light
2:04
should blink out as the computer
2:06
relearns everything. If it flickers
2:08
back, honestly, it might be a fuse.
2:10
Check number 37 in your underhood box,
2:13
the one labeled for the all-wheel drive.
2:15
What year Rogue are you wrestling with
2:17
right now? Drop it in the comments.
2:19
Older ones like the 14 sometimes need
2:21
that AWD control unit in the cargo area
2:23
receated. Just peel back the side panel
2:25
and unplug replug the harness. All
2:27
right, then. One last check before you
2:29
call it done. Scan for codes. If you've
2:31
got an OBD scanner handy, plug it under
2:33
the dash and it'll spit out specifics
2:34
like a bad sensor code C113 or whatever.
2:37
Clears the air fast. And hey, if your
2:39
lights blinking slow, that's usually
2:41
overheating. Pull over, let the diffs
2:42
cool 10 minutes, then retry the reset.
2:45
There you go. That's your Rogu's AWD
2:47
error sorted. From dirty sensors to that
2:49
battery trick, drive safe out there.
2:51
