DTC Descriptor
DTC C0393 06 Rear Axle Coupling coil Control Circuit Short to Ground or Open/High Resistance
DTC C0393 OB Rear Differential coil Control Circuit Current Above Threshold
Diagnostic Fault Information
Perform the [Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle Diagnostic Information] prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
Circuit/System Description
The rear differential clutch control module (CCM) provides a power and ground switching circuits to the (AWD) coil. The coil 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 clutch coil circuits.
^ A short to ground is detected on the high clutch coil circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
One or more of the following actions may occur:
^ All Wheel Drive Off (AWD Disabled) DIC message.
^ Service All Wheel Drive (Service AWD) DIC message.
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 harness connector C1 at the rear differential clutch control module.
2. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp does not illuminate between the following control circuit terminals and ground:
^ Coil supply circuit terminal 5
^ Low reference circuit terminal 3
> If the test lamp illuminates, test the appropriate control circuit for a short to voltage.
3. Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the following control circuit terminals and ground:
^ Coil supply circuit terminal 5
^ Low reference circuit terminal 3
> If less than the specified value, test the appropriate control circuit for a short to ground.
4. Test for less than 5.0 ohms of resistance between the coil supply terminal 5 and the low reference circuit terminal 3.
> If greater than the specified range, test both control circuits for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the differential clutch coil.
5. If all circuits test normal, replace the CCM.
Repair Instructions
Perform the [Diagnostic Repair Verification - Vehicle Diagnostic Information] after completing the diagnostic procedure.
