DTC Descriptor
DTC C0393 06

- Rear Differential Clutch Control Solenoid Circuit

DTC C0393 0B

- Rear Differential Clutch Control Solenoid Circuit Current Above Threshold

Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

The rear differential clutch control module (CCM) provides a power and ground circuits to the solenoid. The solenoid receives current from the CCM 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.
* Ignition voltage is greater than 9 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

* An open is detected on the high or low solenoid circuits.
* A short to ground is detected on the high or low solenoid circuit.
* An over current is detected on the Solenoid circuit.

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 100 consecutive drive cycles.

Scan Tool Data List for CCM

Circuit/System Verification

DTC C0393 06 or C0393 0B will set as result of CCM solenoid or circuit failure to the CCM solenoid, review the scan tool data list parameters.

If C0393 0B test for over current condition in the CCM Solenoid circuit.

Circuit/System Testing

Important: It is recommend that Component Testing is performed before Circuit Testing when diagnosing the clutch control Solenoid.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the 5-way harness connector at the CCM.
2. Test the CCM high or low circuits for an open or short to ground.
^ If the circuit tests normal, replace the CCM solenoid.

3. Connect a DMM between the CCM high or low circuit terminal and ground.
4. Test for less than 1.0 volt between the CCM high or low circuit and ground.
^ If the greater than 1.0 volt, test for a short to voltage on the CCM solenoid high or low circuits. If the circuit tests normal, replace the solenoid.

5. Test for less than 5.0 ohm between the CCM high or low circuit to the CCM solenoid.
^ If greater then 5.0 ohm. replace the solenoid.

^ If all the circuit tests normal, replace the CCM module.
