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.
2WD High Indicator Light: The scan tool displays On or Off.
This parameter indicates On when the transfer case shift control module commands the
2WD high indicator light On.
4WD High Indicator Light: The scan tool displays On or Off.
This parameter indicates On when the transfer case shift control module commands the
4WD high indicator light On.
4WD Low Indicator Light: The scan tool displays On or Off. This
parameter indicates On when the transfer case shift control module commands the 4WD
low indicator light On.
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 On when the transfer case shift control module commands the
auto 4WD indicator light On.
Commanded Mode Indicator: The scan tool displays a range of
Auto 4WD to 4WD Low. This parameter indicates which mode the shift control
switch is currently requesting.
Encoder Circuit A: The scan tool displays On or Off. This parameter
indicates whether the transfer case shift control module is sensing voltage on the
Encoder Circuit A. The scan tool displays On when the transfer case shift control
module senses voltage less than or equal to 1 Volt. The scan tool displays Off when
the transfer case shift control module senses voltage greater than or equal to 3 volts.
Encoder Circuit B: The scan tool displays On or Off. This parameter
indicates whether the transfer case shift control module is sensing voltage on the
Encoder Circuit B. The scan tool displays On when the transfer case shift control
module senses voltage less than or equal to 1 Volt. The scan tool displays Off when
the transfer case shift control module senses voltage greater than or equal to 3 volts.
Encoder Circuit C: The scan tool displays On or Off. This parameter
indicates whether the transfer case shift control module is sensing voltage on the
Encoder Circuit C. The scan tool displays On when the transfer case shift control
module senses voltage less than or equal to 1 Volt. The scan tool displays Off when
the transfer case shift control module senses voltage greater than or equal to 3 volts.
Encoder Circuit P: The scan tool displays On or Off. This parameter
indicates whether the transfer case shift control module is sensing voltage on the
Encoder Circuit P. The scan tool displays On when the transfer case shift control
module senses voltage less than or equal to 1 Volt. The scan tool displays Off when
the transfer case shift control module senses voltage greater than or equal to 3 volts.
Encoder Gear Position: The scan tool displays the mode the transfer
case is currently in.
Front Axle Requested: The scan tool displays Yes or No. This
parameter indicates Yes if the transfer case shift control module requests the front
axle switch On.
Front Axle Switch: The scan tool displays Locked or Unlocked.
This parameter indicates the feedback states of the front propshaft.
Front Propshaft Speed: The scan tool displays a range of 0-8,192 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 the transfer case shift control module 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 the current mode
selected. This parameter indicates the transfer case shift control switch button currently
depressed by the driver.
Neutral Indicator Light: The scan tool displays On or Off.
This parameter indicates On when the transfer case shift control module commands
the neutral indicator light On.
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 0-8,192 RPM.
This parameter indicates the rotational speed of the rear propshaft.
Rear Propshaft Slippage: The scan tool displays a range of 0-8,192 RPM.
This parameter indicates the total slippage of the rear propshaft.
Service 4WD Lamp: The scan tool displays On or Off. This parameter
indicates On if the transfer case shift control module commands the Service 4WD lamp,
or message, On.
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 transfer case encoder
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 0-8,192 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 Enabled if the transfer case shift control module commands
the transfer case motor brake On.
