Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

VERIFY THE DTC IS ACTIVE
1. Ignition on, engine not running.
  NOTE:
  Repair any system undervoltage or overvoltage DTCs that are set in this module before proceeding.
2. With the scan tool, read DTCs in the TIPM.
  Is the DTC active at this time?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 2.
  No
  - Go To 7.

1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the Transfer Case Selector Switch harness connector.
3. Connect a jumper wire between the (K77) Transfer Case Position Sensor Input circuit and the (Z908) Ground circuit in the Transfer Case Selector Switch harness connector.
4. Ignition on, engine not running.
5. With the scan tool, read the Transfer Case Position Sensor Switch voltage.
6. The switch voltage should be approximately 5.0 volts.
  Does the voltage display as described?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Transfer Case Selector Switch in accordance with the service information.
  - Refer to Standard Procedure and perform the AWD CONTROL MODULE VERIFICATION TEST.
  No
  - Go To 3.

1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the CCN C3 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance between ground and the (K77) Transfer Case Position Sensor Input circuit.
  Is the resistance less than 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (K77) Transfer Case Position Sensor Input circuit for a short to ground.
  - Refer to Standard Procedure and perform the AWD CONTROL MODULE VERIFICATION TEST.
  No
  - Go To 4.

1. Measure the resistance of the (Z908) Ground circuit between the Transfer Case Selector Switch harness connector and the CCN C3 harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (Z908) Ground circuit for an open.
  - Refer to Standard Procedure and perform the AWD CONTROL MODULE VERIFICATION TEST.
  No
  - Replace the All Wheel Drive (AWD) Control Module in accordance with Service Information.
  - Refer to Standard Procedure and perform the AWD CONTROL MODULE VERIFICATION TEST.
INTERMITTENT TRANSFER CASE RANGE SELECT SWITCH PERFORMANCE
1. The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.
2. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
3. While monitoring the scan tool data relative to this circuit, wiggle test the wiring and connectors.
4. Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.
5. While monitoring the scan tool data relative to this circuit, move the selector switch to each position several times.
6. Look for the data to change other than as expected or for the DTC to reset.
  Were any problems found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Refer to Standard Procedure and perform the AWD CONTROL MODULE VERIFICATION TEST.
  No
  - Test complete.
