In the Toyota RAV4, if the 4WD light remains on, it signals a problem with the 4WD system. It's recommended to use a diagnostic scan tool on your vehicle since this isn't a normal occurrence. The RAV4 will display a fault code indicating the specific issue, allowing you to identify it before diving into potentially expensive and time-consuming troubleshooting. The problem will likely involve the 4WD system, such as the transfer case control module, differential, or 4WD fuse. While the potential issues are numerous, narrowing down the search with a fault code reading can prevent you from heading in the wrong direction.
