C1460






C1460-AWD SWITCH CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE





For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the wiring information .

- When Monitored:
With the ignition on and no system undervoltage or overvoltage condition present.

- Set Condition:
The All Wheel Drive (AWD) Control Module Switch is not reporting a valid voltage for either switch position.





1. VERIFY THE DTC IS ACTIVE
1. Ignition on, engine not running.

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

2. With the scan tool, read DTCs in the TIPM.

Is the DTC active at this time?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Go To 7

2. TRANSFER CASE SELECTOR SWITCH




1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the Transfer Case Selector Switch harness connector.
3. Connect a jumper wire between the (K77) Transfer Case Position Sensor Input circuit and the (Z908) Ground circuit in the Transfer Case Selector Switch harness connector.
4. Ignition on, engine not running.
5. With the scan tool, read the Transfer Case Position Sensor Switch voltage.
6. The switch voltage should be approximately 5.0 volts.

Does the voltage display as described?

Yes

- Replace the Transfer Case Selector Switch.
- Perform the AWD CONTROL MODULE VERIFICATION TEST. . AWD Control Module Verification Test

No

- Go To 3

3. (K77) TRANSFER CASE POSITION SENSOR INPUT CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND




1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the CCN C3 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance between ground and the (K77) Transfer Case Position Sensor Input circuit.

Is the resistance less than 5.0 Ohms?

Yes

- Repair the (K77) Transfer Case Position Sensor Input circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the AWD CONTROL MODULE VERIFICATION TEST. . AWD Control Module Verification Test

No

- Go To 4

4. (K77) TRANSFER CASE POSITION SENSOR INPUT CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE




1. Ignition on, engine not running.
2. Measure the voltage of the (K77) Transfer Case Position Sensor Input circuit.

Is the voltage above 10 volts?

Yes

- Repair the (K77) Transfer Case Position Sensor Input circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the AWD CONTROL MODULE VERIFICATION TEST. . AWD Control Module Verification Test

No

- Go To 5

5. (K77) TRANSFER CASE POSITION SENSOR INPUT CIRCUIT OPEN




1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Measure the resistance of the (K77) Transfer Case Position Sensor Input circuit between the Transfer Case Selector Switch harness connector and the CCN C3 harness connector.

Is the resistance greater than 5.0 Ohms?

Yes

- Repair the (K77) Transfer Case Position Sensor Input circuit for an open.
- Perform the AWD CONTROL MODULE VERIFICATION TEST. . AWD Control Module Verification Test

No

- Go To 6

6. (Z908) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN




1. Measure the resistance of the (Z908) Ground circuit between the Transfer Case Selector Switch harness connector and the CCN C3 harness connector.

Is the resistance above 5.0 Ohms?

Yes

- Repair the (Z908) Ground circuit for an open.
- Perform the AWD CONTROL MODULE VERIFICATION TEST. . AWD Control Module Verification Test

No

- Replace the All Wheel Drive (AWD) Control Module.
- Perform the AWD CONTROL MODULE VERIFICATION TEST. . AWD Control Module Verification Test

7. INTERMITTENT TRANSFER CASE RANGE SELECT SWITCH PERFORMANCE
1. The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.
2. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
3. While monitoring the scan tool data relative to this circuit, wiggle test the wiring and connectors.
4. Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.
5. While monitoring the scan tool data relative to this circuit, move the selector switch to each position several times.
6. Look for the data to change other than as expected or for the DTC to reset.

Were any problems found?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the AWD CONTROL MODULE VERIFICATION TEST. . AWD Control Module Verification Test

No

- Test complete.
