Diagnostic procedure

DTC P1888:11/P1888:15 (AWD CONTROL MODULE) DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step Inspection Results Action
1 INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR  Yes Replace the differential oil temperature sensor, then go to Step 7. (See DIFFERENTIAL OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
No Go to the next step.
2 INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT 
  • Switch the ignition off.
  • Disconnect the AWD control module connector. (See AWD CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
  • Disconnect the differential oil temperature sensor connector. (See COUPLING COMPONENT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
  • Inspect for continuity between AWD control module terminal A (wiring harness-side) and differential oil temperature sensor terminal A (wiring harness-side).
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between AWD control module terminal A and differential oil temperature sensor terminal A.
If there is a common connector: 
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector: 
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.

Go to Step 7.
3 INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY 
  • Verify that the differential oil temperature sensor and AWD control module connectors are disconnected.
  • Measure the voltage between AWD control module terminal A (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
  • Is the voltage B+?
Yes Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between AWD control module terminal A and differential oil temperature sensor terminal A.
If there is a common connector: 
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to power supply.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector: 
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to power supply.

Go to Step 7.
No Go to next step.
4 INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND 
  • Verify that the differential oil temperature sensor and AWD control module connectors are disconnected.
  • Inspect for continuity between AWD control module terminal A (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between AWD control module terminal A and differential oil temperature sensor terminal A.
If there is a common connector: 
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector: 
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.

Go to Step 7.
No Go to the next step.
5 INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT 
  • Verify that the differential oil temperature sensor and AWD control module connectors are disconnected.
  • Inspect for continuity between AWD control module terminal C (wiring harness-side) and differential oil temperature sensor terminal B (wiring harness-side).
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between AWD control module terminal C and differential oil temperature sensor terminal B.
If there is a common connector: 
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector: 
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.

Go to Step 7.
6 INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY 
  • Verify that the differential oil temperature sensor and AWD control module connectors are disconnected.
  • Measure the voltage between AWD control module terminal C (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
  • Is the voltage B+?
Yes Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between AWD control module terminal C and differential oil temperature sensor terminal B.
If there is a common connector: 
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to power supply.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector: 
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to power supply.

Go to the next step.
No Go to next step.
7 VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED  Yes Replace the AWD control module, then go to the next step. (See AWD CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
No Go to the next step.
8 VERIFY NO DTC IS PRESENT 
  • Are any DTCs present?
Yes Go to the applicable DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE [AWD CONTROL MODULE] .)
No DTC troubleshooting completed.
