Test C: 4X4 Control Module Received No/Invalid Data From ABS Module

Pinpoint Test C: 4x4 Control Module Received No/invalid Data From ABS Module

Normal Operation
The on-demand four wheel drive (4WD) system uses data from other systems as inputs to the 4X4 control module. The 4X4 control module uses the inputs to determine the appropriate duty cycle to send to the active torque control coupling (ATCC) solenoid (part of rear axle) that delivers the desired torque to the rear wheels. Specific inputs to the 4X4 control module are: accelerator pedal position output from the PCM, transmission range from the transmission control module (TCM), brake system status and all 4 wheel speeds from the ABS module. Communication between the 4X4 control module and other modules is obtained through the high-speed controller area network (HS-CAN). If the 4X4 control module loses communication with, or receives invalid data from any of the necessary modules, DTCs are set and the 4X4 control module may not allow 4WD operation.
^ DTC U0415 Invalid Data Received from Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Control Module - When the 4X4 control module receives invalid HS-CAN bus data or invalid wheel speed(s) from the ABS module for more than 30 seconds, this DTC is set.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
