While riding in snow last weekend had probably covered a couple miles in 6 inches of snow everything seemed normal. Came onto a hillside about 20 foot climb in about 75 foot distance got halfway up and started to lose speed hit the gas thinking it was the AWD system being itself, but then came to a stop with just the rear spinning out. Could this be a symptom of the speed sensor?I rolled backwards a few feet and throttled up slowly and it hooked up and pulled to the top.
I have had the code go off a few times losing the power steering and recovered with the high rpm fix. Dealer tells me its from running low rpms and the system will throw off the power steering when low voltage is detected. Do I have other issues?

Did you have the all wheel drive engaged prior to hitting the throttle? The system wont let it engage if you push the button above 3200 rpm until the rpm drops below that rpm.

It had supposedly been engaged for a half an hour, but the way these operate it snow you really don't know if it working or not. Usually the only way to know for sure is if its throwing crap from the front tires, because the rest of the time you are just squirrling down the road. You would think coming from a snowmobile producing company that they would have another setting to lock it up totally.

Contaminants in the front dif fluid can cause it to not engage as smoothly. I change mine twice as often as recommended. That being said, I have the stock tires with 4,000 plus miles on my machine with a lot of snow miles. I have never had any problem going and doing what it is supposed to. Good luck, try different driving styles, if all else fails, give it the gas. Im not saying make it hop and flex, just keep it going.
