    1. Reconnect the Transfer Case Motor harness connector.
    2. Measure the resistance between the (T315) Step Motor Control B circuit and the (T316) Step Motor Control C circuit at the FDCM C2 harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

  7. INTERMITTENT WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTORS 
    1. The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.
    2. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring harness and connectors.
    3. Wiggle test the wiring harness and connectors while monitoring the scan tool data relative to this circuit.
    4. Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.

      Were any problems found?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Test complete.
