The Automatic Transfer Case (ATC) Scan Tool Data Definitions contain
a brief description of all ATC related parameters available on the scan tool.
The list is in the order it appears on the scan tool.
ATC Slip Speed: The scan tool displays a range of 0-8,192 RPM.
This parameter indicates the RPM difference between the front and rear propshafts.
Auto 4WD Indicator Light: The scan tool displays On
or Off. This parameter indicates if the Auto 4WD Indicator Light is being
commanded by the transfer case shift control module.
Commanded Mode Indicator: The scan tool displays a range
of Auto 4WD to 4WD Low. This parameter indicates the current
mode in which ATC is operating.
Encoder Circuit A: The scan tool displays On or Off.
This parameter indicates whether transfer case shift control module is sensing
voltage on the Encoder Circuit A On=<1 Volt, Off=>3 Volts.
Encoder Circuit B: The scan tool displays On or Off.
This parameter indicates whether transfer case shift control module is sensing
voltage on the Encoder Circuit B On=<1 Volt, Off=>3 Volts.
Encoder Circuit C: The scan tool displays On or Off.
This parameter indicates whether transfer case shift control module is sensing
voltage on the Encoder Circuit C On=<1 Volt, Off=>3 Volts.
Encoder Circuit P: The scan tool displays On or Off.
This parameter indicates whether transfer case shift control module is sensing
voltage on the Encoder Circuit P On=<1 Volt, Off=>3 Volts.
Encoder Gear Position: The scan tool displays a range
of Auto 4WD to 4WD Low. This parameter indicates the actual
transfer case sector shaft position as sensed by the encoder.
Front Axle Switch: The scan tool displays Locked or
Unlocked. This parameter indicates the feedback states of the front axle
switch.
Front Axle Switch Request: The scan tool displays Yes
or No. This parameter indicates if the front axle switch has been requested
by the transfer case shift control module.
Front Propshaft Speed: The scan tool displays a range
of 0-8192 RPM. This parameter indicates the rotational speed
of the front propshaft.
GM Part Number: The scan tool displays an eight-digit
number. This parameter indicates the transfer case shift control module GM
software number.
Ignition 3: The scan tool displays a range of 0- 25.5 volts.
This parameter indicates the voltage measured by the transfer case shift
control module at its ignition feed.
Last Adapt Highest PWM: The scan tool displays a range
of 0-100 percent. This parameter indicates the highest duty
cycle applied to the ATC motor during the last slip event.
Mode Switch Selected: The scan tool displays On or Off.
This parameter indicates the ATC mode switch button currently depressed by
the driver.
Neutral Indicator Light: The scan tool displays On or
Off. This parameter indicates if the Neutral Indicator Light is being commanded
by the transfer case shift control module.
Park Switch: The scan tool displays Open or Closed.
This parameter indicates the feedback states of the Park/Neutral Switch.
Rear Propshaft Speed: The scan tool displays a range
of 0-8192 RPM. This parameter indicates the rotational speed
of the rear propshaft.
Rear Slippage: The scan tool displays a range of 0- 8192 RPM.
This parameter indicates the total slippage of the rear propshaft.
Service 4WD Lamp: The scan tool displays On or Off.
This parameter indicates if the Service 4WD Lamp is being commanded by the
transfer case shift control module.
Slip Adapt Mode: The scan tool displays Enabled or Disabled.
This parameter indicates if the transfer case shift control module is currently
attempting to prevent front to rear propshaft slip.
Slip Adapt PWM: The scan tool displays a range of 0-100 percent.
This parameter indicates the duty cycle applied to the ATC motor.
Throttle Anticipation Mode: The scan tool displays Enabled
or Disabled. This parameter changes from Disabled to Enabled when the vehicle
starts movement from a stop position, light to heavy throttle is applied,
and is currently in AWD mode. Throttle Anticipation Mode helps eliminate
the clunking sound normally associated with front axle engagement.
Total Slippage: The scan tool displays a range of 0-8192 RPM.
This parameter indicates the total slippage of both the front and rear propshafts.
TP Angle: The scan tool displays a range of 0-100 percent.
The TP Angle is computed by the PCM from the TP sensor voltage. The TP Angle
should read 0 percent at idle and 100 percent at Wide Open
Throttle (WOT).
Transfer Case Lock: The scan tool displays Enabled or
Disabled. This parameter indicates if the transfer case shift control module
is commanding the transfer case motor brake On.
2WD High Indicator Light: The scan tool displays On
or Off. This parameter indicates if the 2WD High Indicator Light is being
commanded by the transfer case shift control module.
4WD High Indicator Light: The scan tool displays On
or Off. This parameter indicates if the 4WD High Indicator Light is being
commanded by the transfer case shift control module.
4WD Low Indicator Light: The scan tool displays On or
Off. This parameter indicates if the 4WD Low Indicator Light is being commanded
by the transfer case shift control module.
