Default 2017 2500 Ram 6.7l - Service 4 wheel drive dash indicator

2017 2500 Diesel 6.7 Laramie with 6k. Truck takes like 6-8 times to start. during that process a message pops on dash stating service 4 wheel drive. not sure if this is a result of the starting issue or not. when vehicle does start, i'm not seeing the 4 wheel drive indicator message

Take it to the dealer and use your warranty. 2017 with 6k?

Turns out the posi post on both battery terminals was loose. Not sure how that happened but after tightening both issues went away.

Because the new style battery terminals are dumb. They don't pinch down like they should. It's a constant thing here in the shop.
