IF THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS LIGHT HAS EVER COME ON, AND YOU HAVENT BEEN PUTTING THE 4WD UNDER ANY STRESS, IT MAY JUST BE A LOW FLUID LVL IN THE TRANSNFER CASE. IF FLUID LVL IS FINE THEN THE SENSOR THAT SCREWS INTO THE TRANSFER CASE HAS TAKEN A DUMP, REPLACE, AND THE LIGHT SHOULD GO OUT AFTER THE ENGINE RUNS A CYCLE. MAKE SURE THAT THE 4WD ISNT PARTIALY ENGUAGED, PUT THE TRUCK IN 4WD AND DRIVE A FEW BLOCKS THEN STOP DISENGUAGE AND SEE IF THAT WORKS..

My chevy tahoe says service 4wd what do i do

Hi sspain.... Generally when this light appears, your transmission needs to have the fluid changed, the filter changed, and the belts tightened or adjusted. This work requires a lift and special tools. You can do it your self but even I take mine into the transmission shop for this. I like AAMCO repair shops for fair pricing, and quality work. Joe

Thanks for choosing Fixya!

4wd light says service

Does the 4-wheel drive work ? Most of the time, it is a reminder to have your fluid changed. Other times, it could be a vacuum leak in the line that engages the 4-wheel drive. Check both of those first.
