Diagnostic Test

1) DTC IS ACTIVE
Ignition on, engine not running.

NOTE: Repair any system undervoltage or overvoltage DTCs that are set in this module before proceeding.

With the scan tool, read DTCs in the Final Drive Control Module.

Is the DTC status Active at this time?

Yes
1. Go to 2).
No
1. Go to 8).
2) (K504) DRIVETRAIN 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT VOLTAGE

Ignition on, engine not running.

With the scan tool, read the 4WD Range Switch Voltage with the Transfer Case Selector Switch harness connector disconnected.

The switch voltage should be approximately 0.0 volts.

Turn the ignition off to the lock position

Connect a jumper wire between the (K504) Drivetrain 5-volt Supply circuit and the (K977) Mode Select circuit in the Transfer Case Selector Switch harness connector.

Ignition on, engine not running.

With the scan tool, read the 4WD Range Switch voltage.

The switch voltage should be approximately 5.0 volts.

Does the voltage display as described?

Yes
1. Replace the Transfer Case Selector Switch in accordance with the Service Information.
2. Perform TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST .
No
1. Go to 6).

Is the resistance less than 5.0 ohms?

Yes
1. Repair the (K977) Mode Select circuit for a short to ground.
2. Perform TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST .
No
1. Replace the Final Drive Control Module in accordance with the Service Information.
2. Perform TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST .
8) INTERMITTENT TRANSFER CASE RANGE SELECT SWITCH PERFORMANCE
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.

While monitoring the scan tool data relative to this circuit, move the selector switch to each position several times.

Look for the data to change other than as expected or for the DTC to reset.

Were any problems found?

Yes
1. Repair as necessary.
2. Perform TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST .
No
1. Test complete.
