The transfer case shift control module uses the VIN information for calculations that are required for the different calibrations used based on axle ratio, transmission, tire size, and engine. The system does not know which calibration to use without this information.
The transfer case shift control module does not receive a valid VIN digit for the correct application, K truck, L van or T truck within 2 seconds after power up.
• | The ignition counts since last fault will be cleared. |
• | The system will be disabled until valid VIN data is received. |
• | The SERVICE indicator (AWD/4WD) lamp will be latched on. |
A history DTC will clear after a valid VIN digit is received.
