Circuit Description

The transfer case shift control module controls the SERVCE indicator (AWD/4WD) lamp, located in the instrument cluster, by grounding the SERVICE Indicator lamp control circuit. Voltage to the lamp is supplied via a common GAUGE Fuse, which feeds all of the gauges in the instrument cluster.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

After the transfer case shift control module commands the lamp on, the module senses a voltage greater than 7 V on the SERVICE Indicator lamp output circuit.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • The transfer case shift control module will clear the DTC if the condition for setting the DTC no longer exists.
    • A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present.
    • Use a scan tool in order to clear history DTCs.
