good time of year for this one!! check all of the wheel bearings. Each wheel bearing has some form of speed sensor with a connection point, and if just 1 wire is not making connection, that will throw the whole AWD system off, and then the light is tripped. (example is snow and ice build up on the wheel bearings, or just ice pushing the connector enough to strain a wire)

So you do need to check each of the sensor wires, and all the connection point (e.g. if you had ran over something, the plastic mounting point can break off, and pull the plug apart, happened once) That's where i would start. yes, it's a chore and all, but if you're looking at saving the bill from a shop, that's where to start. if you need more, drop me a note.

hope this helps you out
