Hello All,

I was ready to go to work & this happened. Tried to start the car & it had that weird starting sound. I was not able to lock the doors too. And then this message came up.

​​​​1) AWD System Malfunction 2WD Mode Engaged.

2) Parking Brake unavailable

3) Automatic mode off

4) Ignition On

Any input on why this is happening? Please assist & advice.

Thank You in advance.

Bring it to the dealer, will be covered under warranty. I'd guess something wrong with the rear diff or worst case, transmission.

 

I hope you have pictures or videos to show it to the dealer/lexus specialist. Haven't had that happened to my '17 yet. Good luck and please keep us posted.
