Circuit Description

The 4WD LO Circuit is used to notify the vehicle control module (VCM)/powertrain control module (PCM) that the vehicle is in 4WD low range. VCM/PCM supplies 12 V to this circuit. The transfer case shift control module grounds this circuit when the vehicle is in 4WD low range.

This DTC detects an transfer case shift control module problem, a short to voltage on the 4WD LO Circuit.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • After the transfer case shift control module grounds the 4WD LO Circuit and reads back a high voltage, the DTC is set. The system will not attempt it again during that ignition cycle.
    • The transfer case shift control module reads back a high voltage when a low voltage is expected on the 4 LO Circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • May affect the transmission shift points.
    • The SERVICE indicator (AWD/4WD) lamp will be latched on for the remainder of the current ignition cycle.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • The transfer case shift control module will clear the DTC if the condition for setting the DTC no longer exits.
    • A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present.
    • History DTCs can be cleared using a scan tool.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. Tests the 4WD LO circuit for voltage.

    2.

  2. Tests the 4WD LO circuit for a short to voltage.

    3.

  3. Tests the 4WD LO circuit for an open or high resistance.

    4.

  4. Repairs the 4WD LO circuit for a short to voltage.
