Less than a week after getting the warning of AWD malfunction and getting it serviced by the dealer, my car is now showing the RR tire as low in pressure. A quick look does not show any nails, so I put a few pounds of air in to check if there are other leakage problems. I still need to reset the warning panel. Was this the correct course of action or should I be bringing it back again for some software reset?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Reset the pressure monitor but keep an eye on it... I got the warning a few times over the coarse of 2 weeks and then the inside edge of my right rear tire blew out... Couldnt see anything from the side and there were no obvious punctures etc... the camber in the rear is pretty brutal and the very inside edge literally wore a hole in the tire. Without getting under the car on a lift I never would have seen the damage... and the dealer kept telling me it was the cold and that many people were getting this FTM error and just to reset it.
