Why are all the lights coming back on in my car?

Is there a malfunction in the AWD system?

Check engine light I understand, AWD malfunction message for a gas cap I do not. We dropped the RAV4 off and after 3 hours called to say they didn’t know what the problem was.

Why is my AWD light not working in my garage?

We took it to a local “Mister” (it was Sunday no garages were open) and they diagnosed it as an exhaust issue, possibly a leak or loose gasket. We came home and I researched it using forums such as this, and discovered some people simply tightened their gas caps.

Can a loose gas cap cause an AWD malfunction?

The only complaints have been on the torque vectoring models with driveline disconnect (Adventure and Limited), the other Multi-Terrain Select models have the same AWD system as the previous 2 gens, but with a better electronic control system. A loose/bad gas cap caused similar warning lights on the old models. Ott.
