Question AWD service required

Hey everybody, I had this service required light come on today while I was coming out of a gas station... It was the one with four wheels and the two front wheels are slanted, my car was facing downwards when leaving the gas station. The ramp to exit out the gas station isn't exactly leveled with the streets... I was wondering if because my car was slanted that way could that cause that might to appear? The light went away after the car became leveled and didn't come back on. Any help is greatly appreciated thank you.

AWC pump is probably going bad. There is a warranty extension, if you have under 100,000 miles. I would immediately take it to the dealer. My dealer has my pump ordered, but its back ordered.
After I get mines installed, i'm going to try to seal it up with some kind of sealant spray.

Does this service required light usually go off after that though?

Yes it does. Check your fluid level in your trunk also.

Check your owner/ service manual if you have one let the car sit on a level surface for an hour and look at the tank in the trunk to the right, there is a cover over it, should be easy to find

I got it! Thanks for helping me find it, the Fluid level in the trunk is at the correct level. I guess it was the way my car was sitting that caused that AWD service to pop up. I was literally facing down wards when leaving the gas station..

Does your Tarmac light blink sometimes? If so the pump is on its way out.
