Diagnostic Test

1. CHARGING SYSTEM DTCS PRESENT
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the scan tool, read DTCs in the Powertrain Control Module.
Are there any Charging System or related voltage DTCs present?

Yes

- Refer to the symptom list and perform any Charging System DTC diagnostic procedures before continuing with this test.

No

- Go to 2


2. DTC IS ACTIVE
With the scan tool, read DTCs in the Final Drive Control Module.
Is the status Active for this DTC?

Yes

- Go to 3

No

- Go to 5


3. FINAL DRIVE CONTROL MODULE POWER CIRCUITS OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE




Turn the ignition off to the lock position
Disconnect the Final Drive Control Module C1 harness connector.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the Fused B+ circuits in the Final Drive Control Module C1 harness connector.

NOTE: The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.

Does the test light illuminate brightly for each of the Fused B+ circuits?

Yes

- Replace the Final Drive Control Module.
- Perform the TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST-VER 1Transfer Case Verification Test.

No

- Repair the Fused B+ circuit(s) for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST-VER 1Transfer Case Verification Test.

4. FINAL DRIVE CONTROL MODULE

Repair

- Replace the Final Drive Control Module.
- Perform the TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST-VER 1Transfer Case Verification Test.

5. INTERMITTENT WIRING AND CONNECTORS
The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.
Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
While monitoring the scan tool data relative to this circuit, wiggle test the wiring and connectors.
Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.
Were any problems found?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST-VER 1Transfer Case Verification Test.
