Hey everyone. My CRV got stuck in the snow today. I have the 2016 2.4L model. It says awd in the back I’m pretty sure it’s fwd but it is supposed to alternate if I don’t have traction… I think? But anyways I was stuck in the snow and my cars tires would not move. the snow was about 8-9 inches deep and it might’ve snowed roughly 1 week ago. I have brand new winter tires I’ve been using this entire winter. I was driving on the snow regularly until I got stuck and it just would not go past 2k rpm at all. I turned eco mode off, I turned traction mode off, I even tried all three gears (D, S, L). It would give nothing it would just be stuck at 2k rpm.

The ECU limits the rpms when it doesn't sense the vehicle moving to protect the drivetrain. There is a huge difference between AWD and true 4WD as this video shows. Reminds me of the time when the extended family spent Xmas on Bald Mountain and there was a snow storm. I had to tow the vehicles with 2WD and AWD off the mountain with my Jeep.
The light comes on anytime something is not properly functioning with the AWD not just over temp.

The reason the wheels stopped turning is that the ECU is programmed to limit the torque on the CVT to around 180 lb-ft of torque. This is to prevent slipping the belt in the transmission. Your wheels simply dug down until it took more than 180 ft-lbs to break them free.
Hate cats, to bad they stopped using them for tennis rackets. Waste of oxygen. 😉
You know what.. I suspect that cat had something to do with this... because he is waaaaay to interested in what is going on. Innocent cats, generally are indifferent to human problems.Almost like he is checking out his handy work to grief a human.
Cat also probably is chuckling and thinking.. you know.. some cat litter under the wheels might help fix being stuck. 😋
