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.
ATC Slip Speed: The scan tool displays a range of 0-8192 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 if the Auto 4WD Indicator Light is being commanded by the transfer case shift control module.
Commanded Mode Indicator: The scan tool displays a range of Auto 4WD to 4WD Low. This parameter indicates the current mode in which ATC is operating.
Encoder Circuit A: The scan tool displays On or Off. This parameter indicates whether transfer case shift control module is sensing voltage on the Encoder Circuit A On=<1 Volt, Off=>3 Volts.
Encoder Circuit B: The scan tool displays On or Off. This parameter indicates whether transfer case shift control module is sensing voltage on the Encoder Circuit B On=<1 Volt, Off=>3 Volts.
Encoder Circuit C: The scan tool displays On or Off. This parameter indicates whether transfer case shift control module is sensing voltage on the Encoder Circuit C On=<1 Volt, Off=>3 Volts.
Encoder Circuit P: The scan tool displays On or Off. This parameter indicates whether transfer case shift control module is sensing voltage on the Encoder Circuit P On=<1 Volt, Off=>3 Volts.
Encoder Gear Position: The scan tool displays a range of Auto 4WD to 4WD Low. This parameter indicates the actual transfer case sector shaft position as sensed by the encoder.
Front Axle Switch: The scan tool displays Locked or Unlocked. This parameter indicates the feedback states of the front axle switch.
Front Axle Switch Requested: The scan tool displays Yes or No. This parameter indicates if the front axle switch has been requested by the transfer case shift control module.
Front Propshaft Speed: The scan tool displays a range of 0-8192 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 its 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 On or Off. This parameter indicates the ATC mode switch button currently depressed by the driver.
Neutral Indicator Light: The scan tool displays On or Off. This parameter indicates if the Neutral Indicator Light is being commanded by the transfer case shift control module.
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 0-8192 RPM. This parameter indicates the rotational speed of the rear propshaft.
Rear Slippage: The scan tool displays a range of 0- 8192 RPM. This parameter indicates the total slippage of the rear propshaft.
Service 4WD Lamp: The scan tool displays On or Off. This parameter indicates if the Service 4WD Lamp is being commanded by the transfer case shift control module.
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 ATC motor.
Software ID: The scan tool displays a 4-digit number. This parameter indicates the transfer case shift control module calibration version number.
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 0-8192 RPM. This parameter indicates the total slippage of both the front and rear propshafts.
Throttle Position (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 if the transfer case shift control module is commanding the transfer case motor brake On.
2WD High Indicator Light: The scan tool displays On or Off. This parameter indicates if the 2WD High Indicator Light is being commanded by the transfer case shift control module.
4WD High Indicator Light: The scan tool displays On or Off. This parameter indicates if the 4WD High Indicator Light is being commanded by the transfer case shift control module.
4WD Lamp Open: The scan tool displays Yes or No. This parameter indicates if the 4WD Lamp circuit is open or shorted to ground..
4WD Lamp Shorted: The scan tool displays Yes or No. This parameter indicates if the 4WD Lamp circuit is shorted to voltage.
4WD Low Indicator Light: The scan tool displays On or Off. This parameter indicates if the 4WD Low Indicator Light is being commanded by the transfer case shift control module.
