Diagnostic Test

1. DTC IS ACTIVE

Ignition on, engine not running.

NOTE: Repair any system undervoltage or overvoltage DTCs that are set in this module before proceeding.


With the scan tool, read DTCs in the TIPM.

Is the DTC status Active at this time?

Yes


No

2. TRANSFER CASE SELECTOR SWITCH



Turn the ignition off to the lock position
Disconnect the Transfer Case Selector Switch harness connector.
Connect a jumper wire between the (K77) Transfer Case Position Sensor Input circuit and the (Z940) Ground circuit in the Transfer Case Selector Switch harness connector.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the scan tool, read the Transfer Case Position Sensor Switch voltage.
The switch voltage should be approximately 5.0 volts.

Does the voltage display as described?

Yes


No

3. (K77) TRANSFER CASE POSITION SENSOR INPUT CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND



Turn the ignition off to the lock position
Disconnect the CCN C3 harness connector.
Measure the resistance between ground and the (K77) Transfer Case Position Sensor Input circuit.

Is the resistance less than 5.0 ohms?

Yes


No

4. (K77) TRANSFER CASE POSITION SENSOR INPUT CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE



Ignition on, engine not running.
Measure the voltage of the (K77) Transfer Case Position Sensor Input circuit.

Is the voltage above 10 volts?

Yes


No
Go To 5
5. (K77) TRANSFER CASE POSITION SENSOR INPUT CIRCUIT OPEN



Turn the ignition off to the lock position
Measure the resistance of the (K77) Transfer Case Position Sensor Input circuit between the Transfer Case Selector Switch harness connector and the CCN C3 harness connector.

Is the resistance greater than 5.0 ohms?

Yes


No

6. (Z940) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN



Measure the resistance of the (Z940) Ground circuit between the Transfer Case Selector Switch harness connector and the CCN C3 harness connector.

Is the resistance above 5.0 ohms?

Yes


No

7. INTERMITTENT TRANSFER CASE RANGE SELECT SWITCH PERFORMANCE

The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.
Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
While monitoring the scan tool data relative to this circuit, wiggle test the wiring and connectors.
Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.
While monitoring the scan tool data relative to this circuit, move the selector switch to each position several times.
Look for the data to change other than as expected or for the DTC to reset.

Were any problems found?

Yes


No
