C143D-STABILIZER SELECT SWITCH PERFORMANCE





For a complete wiring diagram Refer to the Wiring Information.

- When Monitored:
Ignition on.

- Set Condition:
During switch operation, the FDCM senses the Disconnecting Stabilizer Switch resistance is out of specification.





1. DTC ACTIVE

CAUTION: Before removing the FDCM harness connector, clean the connector and locking cam area of dirt and debris. Failure to do so can result in the connector being jammed or damage to the locking cams on the harness connector or module. Do not force the assist arm when releasing or installing the harness connector.

1. Turn the ignition on, engine not running
2. With the scan tool, read FDCM DTC(s).

Is the DTC active at this time?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Go To 5

2. DISCONNECTING STABILIZER SWITCH OPERATION

NOTE: Before continuing with the below diagnostic test, ensure the FDCM harness connector seal is installed correctly. Inspect the terminals on both harness connector and the module for damage. Failure to do so can result in misdiagnoses of the system.

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Disconnecting Stabilizer Switch harness connector.
3. Remove the Disconnecting Stabilizer Switch.
4. Measure the resistance on the Disconnecting Stabilizer Switch between the Switch Supply terminal and the Stabilizer Bar Switch Sense terminal.
5. The resistance must read as follows for each position of the switch.
- Off Road: 33 ohms +/- 5%

- On Road: 510 ohms +/- 5%

- Switch Not Applied: 2.2k ohms +/- 5%

Does the ohmmeter read correctly for each position of the Disconnecting Stabilizer Switch ?

Yes

- Go To 3

No

- Replace the Disconnecting Stabilizer Switch.
- Perform FDCM VERIFICATION TEST.FDCM Verification Test

3. (T531) STABILIZER BAR SWITCH SENSE CIRCUIT OPEN




1. Disconnect the FDCM harness connector.
2. Measure the resistance of the (T531) Stabilizer Bar Switch Sense circuit between the Disconnecting Stabilizer Switch and the FDCM harness connectors.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

- Go To 4

No

- Repair the open or high resistance in the (T531) Stabilizer Bar Switch Sense circuit.
- Perform FDCM VERIFICATION TEST.FDCM Verification Test

4. (T536) SWITCH SUPPLY CIRCUIT OPEN




1. Measure the resistance of the (T536) Switch Supply circuit between the Disconnecting Stabilizer Switch and the FDCM harness connectors.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

- Replace the FDCM
- Perform FDCM VERIFICATION TEST.FDCM Verification Test

No

- Repair the open or high resistance in the (T536) Switch Supply circuit.
- Perform FDCM VERIFICATION TEST.FDCM Verification Test

5. INTERMITTENT WIRING AND CONNECTORS
1. The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.
2. Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors specific to this circuit.
3. Wiggle test the wiring harness and connectors while checking for shorted and open circuits.
4. Using the scan tool, monitor the data related to this circuit while performing the wiggle test. Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset.
5. While monitoring the Stabilizer Bar State on the scan tool, move the switch to each position. The scan tool display must match the position on the actual switch.

Were there any problems found?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.
- Perform FDCM VERIFICATION TEST.FDCM Verification Test

No

- Test Complete.
