Pinpoint Test AL: An Off-Road Mode Message Is Inoperative/Always On (Raptor Only)

Normal Operation

The message center displays off-road mode messages to inform the driver they have entered or exited various states of the off-road mode function. When the off-road mode is active, the standard vehicle speed thresholds for the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) are lifted and the AdvanceTrac(R) settings are altered for optimized off-road driving. The IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) receives the off-road mode signal from the Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN).

If the off-road mode message is missing for less than 5 seconds, the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) defaults the applicable off-road mode message center indicator to the last on/off state, based upon the last off-road mode status message received.

If the off-road mode status message is missing for greater than 5 seconds, the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) sets DTC U0102:00 and defaults the applicable off-road mode message center indicator off.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Message center concern

- Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) concern

- TCCM (Transfer Case Control Module)

PINPOINT TEST AL : AN OFF-ROAD MODE MESSAGE IS INOPERATIVE/ALWAYS ON (RAPTOR ONLY)

AL1 CHECK THE MESSAGE CENTER OPERATION

- Close all doors.

- Ignition ON.

- Open the driver door while monitoring the message center displays.

Does the message center display DRIVER DOOR AJAR?

Yes
GO to AL2.

- Start the engine.

- Drive the vehicle in Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) and activate the off-road mode.

Has the vehicle entered off-road mode?

Yes
GO to AL3.
No
REFER to Transfer Case to diagnose 4X4 system concerns.

AL3 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM THE IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) SELF-TEST

- Check for recorded DTCs from the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) self-test.

Is DTC U0102:00 recorded?

Yes
GO to Pinpoint Test AU. Pinpoint Test AU: DTC U0102:00
No
GO to AL4.

AL4 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM THE TCCM (Transfer Case Control Module) SELF-TEST

- Check for recorded DTCs from the TCCM (Transfer Case Control Module) self-test.

Are any DTCs recorded?

Yes
REFER to Transfer Case.
No
INSTALL a new TCCM (Transfer Case Control Module).
