DTC Descriptor

DTC B0780: Four Wheel Drive Low Range (4LO) Indicator Circuit Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The 4LO indicator circuit consists of an LED dimming supply circuit and a 4LO indicator control circuit. When the 4LO mode is selected, current is supplied to the 4LO indicator by the LED dimming supply circuit, traveling through the 4LO indicator LEDs, at which time the transfer case shift control module supplies the ground through the 4LO indicator control circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC

    • The ignition is ON.
    • System voltage is 9-18 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

    • The system monitors the voltage on the 4LO indicator control circuit.
    • If the system detects a voltage of 3 volts or less for 1.5 seconds when the 4LO indicator is not commanded, the DTC is logged.
    • If the system detects a voltage of 4.5 volts or greater when the 4LO indicator is commanded, the DTC is logged.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The SERVICE 4WD indicator is not illuminated.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • The transfer case shift control module clears the DTC if the condition for setting the DTC is not currently present.
    • A history DTC clears after 100 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present.
    • History DTCs can be cleared using a scan tool.
