Having similar problems with mine. Used it for plowing last week for the first time. Noticed that 4x4 didn't engage always when going from forward to reverse. Didn't notice the icons. Most of the time it was during hard use - putting in reverse and hitting the throttle. Seamed that if I was backing out at a slow speed it would engage. Sucks when you see both back wheels turning and nothing in front! Scheduled to take it in for the steering/front suspension recall (when parts are off backorder!) and to fix the bent Glacier II plow frame. Will have them check the ECU as well. thanks for the post.

Can somebody with a 550 check to see if there awd icon stays on when in nuetral or park?? My 550( a 09) and the dealers 550 ( a 10) awd light stays on all the time when the switch is in awd no matter what you do with the shifter. If the 850 switches out for a second or so whenever going from forward to reverse that is a crappy set up. Of all the people on here who plow you must of realized what a pita this is?? I never had this issuie with past sportsmans, But I also had to hit the yellow button(also a pita). This is my first real grip about the xp, other than this I have loved the machine so far...

I checked my 500 this morning while plowing. It does the same thing......4x4 icon goes out while switching gears through neutral.
Could this have anything to do with the throttle?

Thank you....Let me know....I was at the dealer today and there was a 10 850 there. It also went out of awd while going through nuetral. I really wonder why the 550( the 2 i tested so far) stays in no matter what????

The pre xp's all do that because there is no awd untill you hit the override button.

I'm pretty sure they all do the same thing as I stated in my first post in this thread.

Thanks for the update. Now I need to figure out why the 550 stays in and if it is possible to make the 850 do the same...I will let you know what I find out...
