The AWD is touchy about everything!!! From Air pressure in tires off from factory spec, to wheel bearings going out to screw with the computer. Also the Transfer Case needs Auto Trak II (GM Reg TM) fluid chg every 30k, not 50k per manual!
2004 BUICK RAINIER
curious to know, did you buy it new, if not do you know the tranny service, was it done at 30K or never done since it is less than 50k. My understanding is that you should chg it every 30k and chg it per TSB to Dex IV

Chg Tranny Fluid to Dex IV per TSB, might as well change Diff Fluid to Synthetic also since you have done the rest.
