DTC Descriptors
DTC C0393 02
- Rear Differential Clutch Control Coil Circuit Short to Ground

DTC C0393 04
- Rear Differential Clutch Control Coil Circuit Open

DTC C0393 0B
- Rear Differential Clutch Control Coil Circuit High Voltage

Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

The rear differential clutch control module provides a power and ground switching circuits to the rear wheel drive clutch coil. The coil receives current from the rear differential clutch control module through PWM low side driver, and converts that signal into torque through the clutch to the rear tires when all wheel drive (AWD) is requested.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

* An open is detected on the high or low coil control circuits.
* A short to ground is detected on the high or low coil control circuits.
* A short to voltage is detected on the high or low coil control circuits.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

One or more of the following actions may occur:

* All Wheel Drive Off (AWD Disabled).
* Service All Wheel Drive (Service AWD).

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition for the DTC is no longer present.
* The DTC is not detected in 40 consecutive drive cycles.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the rear differential clutch control module.
2. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp does not illuminate between the following circuits and ground:

* Low reference terminal 3
* Voltage terminal 5

• If the test lamp illuminates, test the appropriate circuit for a short to voltage.

3. Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the following circuit terminals and ground:

* Low reference terminal 3
* Voltage terminal 5

• If less than the specified value, test the appropriate circuit for a short to ground.

4. Test for less than 5.0 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal 3 and the voltage supply terminal 5.

• If greater than the specified range, test the appropriate circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the rear wheel drive clutch.

5. If all circuits test normal, replace the rear differential clutch control module.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.

* Rear Wheel Drive Module Clutch Housing Replacement (Rear Wheel Drive Module Clutch Housing Replacement).
* Control Module References (Programming and Relearning) for rear differential clutch control module replacement, setup, and programming.
