Pinpoint Test Ah: The AWD (All-Wheel Drive) Module Does Not Respond To The Diagnostic Scan Tool

  1. Refer to Module Communications Network for schematic and connector information. Refer to All Wheel Drive (AWD) for schematic and connector information.

    Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

    The AWD module communicates on the HS-CAN1.

    Possible Sources 

    • Fuse
    • Wiring, terminals and connector
    • AWD module

    Visual Inspection and Pre-checks 

    • Verify BJB fuses 12 (15A) and FJ-CASE (40A) and High Current BJB fuse 4 (60A) are OK.

  2. AH1 CHECK THE AWD (ALL-WHEEL DRIVE) MODULE VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

    • Disconnect AWD module C4379.

    • Ignition ON.

    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C4379-1

      Ground

    Is the voltage greater than 11 volts? 

    Yes  GO to  AH2
    No  VERIFY BJB fuses 12 (15A) and FJ-CASE (40A) and High Current BJB fuse 4 (60A) are OK. If OK, repair the circuit in question. If not OK, REFER to OEM Electrical Wiring Diagram Introduction to identify the possible causes of the circuit short.
  3. AH2 CHECK THE AWD (ALL-WHEEL DRIVE) MODULE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Disconnect negative battery cable.

    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C4379-46

      Ground

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? 

    Yes  CONNECT negative battery cable. GO to  AH3
    No  REPAIR the circuit.
  4. AH3 CHECK THE HS-CAN1 (HIGH-SPEED CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK 1) CIRCUITS BETWEEN THE AWD (ALL-WHEEL DRIVE) MODULE AND THE GWM (GATEWAY MODULE A) FOR AN OPEN

    • Disconnect GWM C2431.

    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C4379-9

      C2431-20
      C4379-8
      GFD429294Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      C2431-19

    Are the resistances less than 3 ohms? 

    Yes  CONNECT the GWM, GO to  AH4
    No  REPAIR the circuit in question.
  5. AH4 CHECK FOR CORRECT AWD (ALL-WHEEL DRIVE) MODULE OPERATION

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Disconnect and inspect the AWD module connector.

    • Repair:

      • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary

    • Reconnect the AWD module connector. Make sure it seats and latches correctly.

    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  CHECK OASIS for any applicable service articles: TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles address this concern, INSTALL a new AWD module. REFER to: All-Wheel Drive (AWD) Module
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
