Object Number: 450764 Size: MF

Circuit Description

The direct battery supply line (circuit 1640) provides the power to the module and motor circuitry.

This DTC detects a intermittent absence of battery voltage at the module when the module sees an ignition on voltage.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The transfer case shift control module did not power up 8 out of the last 19 ignition cycles.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

There are no default actions associated with this DTC. The SERVICE AWD/4WD lamp will not be latched on.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • Current DTC
        The transfer case shift control module will clear the DTC if the condition for setting the DTC no longer exists.
    • History DTC
       - Once 100 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present.
       - You issue a scan tool CLEAR CODES command.

Test Description
