AWD ABS Disable: This parameter displays Yes if the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is not receiving input from the Antilock Brake System (ABS), and the All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system is disabled.
AWD Circuit Status: This parameter displays the status of the axle actuator control circuit to the AWD solenoid and displays OK, Short, or Open. The AWD disable lamp will be illuminated for a short and open conditions.
AWD Clutch Temp Disable: This parameter displays the status of powertrain software that has the ability to disable AWD based on a rear drive module clutch slip/time calculation and displays Yes or No. If the software determines that a clutch overtemperature condition exists, the AWD system will be deactivated by disabling the PWM signal line to the AWD solenoid. The AWD system will be enabled when the software calculates that the clutch temperatures have dropped sufficiently. The AWD Disabled lamp will be illuminated for a Yes condition.
AWD Disabled: This parameter displays if the AWD system has been disabled and displays Yes or No. The AWD Disabled lamp will be illuminated for a Yes condition.
AWD Duty Cycle: This parameter displays the commanded state of the AWD solenoid expressed as a percent of ON time. At vehicle start-up, duty cycle will be at 75-90% for 3 seconds. This is referred to as the pull-in duty cycle. After 3 seconds the duty cycle will drop to 20-30% for 30 seconds. This is referred to as the hold-in duty cycle. After each 30 second hold-in period, the duty cycle will be increased to 75-90%, pull-in duty cycle, for 0.5 second before returning to the hold-in duty cycle. This is to assure solenoid pull-in.
AWD Fluid Temp Disable: This parameter displays a fluid overtemperature condition in the rear drive module and displays Yes or No. When the sump temperature exceeds approximately 110°C (230°F), a pull-up resistor grounds the PWM signal line at the AWD solenoid. The pull-up resistor is an integral part of the AWD solenoid. The AWD Disabled lamp will be illuminated for a Yes condition.
AWD Last Disable Reason: This parameter displays the last AWD disable reason. The possible reasons are Output Controls, Fluid Temp, Clutch Temp, Wheel Speed, Voltage, Mini Spare, ABS System. The Output Controls reason indicates that AWD was last disabled with a service scan tool. Fluid Temp, Clutch Temp, Wheel Speed, Voltage, Mini Spare and ABS System each have a unique parameter that is described elsewhere in this table.
AWD Minispare Disable: This parameter indicates whether the ABS module detects a mini spare on the vehicle and displays Yes or No. The wheel rotational speed difference is detected by the wheel speed sensors of the ABS system. If the ABS module detects a minispare on the vehicle, the AWD system will be deactivated by disabling the PWM signal line to the AWD solenoid. The AWD Disabled lamp will be illuminated for a Yes condition.
AWD Overtemp Delay: This parameter indicates whether the AWD system is in a reset mode following an AWD fluid temperature disable. The rear drive module (RDM) resistor is an integral part of the AWD solenoid. The RDM resistor sense for an overtemperature condition of 110°C (230°F) or greater. If this condition is met, the scan tool will display Yes, the RDM resistor will ground the AWD solenoid PWM signal and the AWD disable lamp will be illuminated. Following an overtemperature condition, if the RDM resistor senses 95°C (203°F) or less, the RDM resistor removes the ground path from the AWD solenoid PWM signal and the AWD system begins a 10 minute delay period. After the 10 minute delay period, and once vehicle speed is 0 km/h (0 mph), the AWD disable lamp will no longer be illuminated.
