Pinpoint Test F: The 4X4 Control Module Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 14, Module Communications Network for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 34, Four Wheel Drive Systems for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number

Normal Operation

The 4X4 control module communicates with the scan tool through the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN).

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Fuse
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- 4X4 control module



PINPOINT TEST F: THE 4X4 CONTROL MODULE DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE SCAN TOOL

NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.

NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed will result in false resistance readings. Refer to Battery.

-------------------------------------------------
F1 CHECK THE 4X4 CONTROL MODULE VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN


- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: 4X4 Control Module C281a.
- Disconnect: 4X4 Control Module C281b.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure the voltage between the 4X4 control module, harness side and ground as follows:









- Are the voltages greater than 10 volts?

Yes
GO to F2.

No
VERIFY the Battery Junction Box (BJB) fuse 27 (20A) and SJB fuses 10 (10A) and 28 (15A) are OK.

If OK, REPAIR the circuit in question.

If not OK, REFER to the Wiring Diagrams to identify the possible causes of the circuit short. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the network test with the scan tool. Diagrams By Number

-------------------------------------------------
F2 CHECK THE 4X4 CONTROL MODULE GROUND CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN


- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Negative Battery Cable.
- Measure the resistance between the 4X4 control module, harness side and ground as follows:









- Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?

Yes
GO to F3.

No
REPAIR the circuit in question. CONNECT the negative battery cable. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the network test with the scan tool.

-------------------------------------------------
F3 CHECK THE HS-CAN CIRCUITS BETWEEN THE DLC AND THE 4X4 CONTROL MODULE FOR AN OPEN


- Measure the resistance between the 4X4 control module C281a-10, circuit VDB04 (WH/BU), harness side and the Data Link Connector (DLC) C251-6, circuit VDB04 (WH/BU), harness side.




- Measure the resistance between the 4X4 control module C281a-9, circuit VDB05 (WH), harness side and the DLC C251-14, circuit VDB05 (WH), harness side.




- Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?

Yes
CONNECT the negative battery cable. GO to F4.

No
REPAIR the circuit. CONNECT the negative battery cable. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the network test with the scan tool.

-------------------------------------------------
F4 CHECK FOR CORRECT 4X4 CONTROL MODULE OPERATION


- Disconnect all the 4X4 control module connectors.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- pushed-out pins
- Connect all the 4X4 control module connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?

Yes
INSTALL a new 4X4 control module. REFER to Transfer Case. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the network test with the scan tool.

No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the network test with the scan tool.
