Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

T-CASE POSITION SENSOR VOLTAGE BELOW 0.4 OF A VOLT
NOTE: If DTCs C1404 and C2112 are both present, refer to the diagnostics procedure for C2112 before continuing.
1. Ignition on, engine not running.
2. With the scan tool, read the T-Case Position Sensor voltage in the FDCM.
  Is the voltage below 0.4 of a volt?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 2
  No
  - Go to step 8
(K504) DRIVETRAIN 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR VOLTAGE

1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position
2. Disconnect the Transfer Case Motor harness connector.
3. Ignition on, engine not running.
4. Measure the voltage of the (K504) Drivetrain 5-volt Supply circuit at the Transfer Case Motor harness connector.
  Choose an answer that matches the voltage measured?
  
  Below 4.5 volts
  - Go to step 3
  Above 5.5 volts
  - Go to step 4
  Between 4.5 volts and 5.5 volts
  - Go to step 5
(K504) DRIVETRAIN 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE

1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the FDCM C1 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance of the (K504) Drivetrain 5-volt Supply circuit between the FDCM C1 and the Transfer Case Motor harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (K504) Drivetrain 5-volt Supply circuit for an open or high resistance.
  - Perform the TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Final Drive Control (FDCM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Go to step 4
(K504) DRIVETRAIN 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE

1. Measure the voltage of the (K504) Drivetrain 5-volt Supply circuit at the Transfer Case Motor harness connector.
  Is the voltage above 5.5 volts?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (K504) Drivetrain 5-volt Supply circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform the TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Final Drive Control (FDCM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Go to step 5
(T313) MODE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND

1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position
2. Disconnect the FDCM C1 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance between ground and the (T313) Mode Sensor Signal circuit at the Transfer Case Motor harness connector.
  Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T313) Mode Sensor Signal circuit for a short to ground.
  - Perform the TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Final Drive Control (FDCM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Go to step 6
(T313) MODE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN

1. Measure the resistance of the (T313) Mode Sensor Signal circuit between the FDCM C1 harness connector and the Transfer Case Motor harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T313) Mode Sensor Signal circuit for an open.
  - Perform the TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Final Drive Control (FDCM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Go to step 7
TRANSFER CASE ENCODER

1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position
2. Reconnect the FDCM C1 harness connector.
3. Connect a jumper wire between the (T313) Mode Sensor Signal circuit and the (K504) Drivetrain 5 volt supply circuit at the Transfer Case Motor harness connector.
4. Ignition on, engine not running.
5. With the scan tool, read the T-Case Position Sensor voltage in the FDCM.
6. The displayed voltage should be between 4.5 volts and 5.5 volts with the jumper wire in place.
  Does the voltage display as described?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Transfer Case Motor in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Final Drive Control (FDCM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Replace the Final Drive Control Module (FDCM) in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Final Drive Control (FDCM) - Standard Procedure .
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.
5. While monitoring the scan tool data relative to this circuit, move the selector switch to each position several times.
6. Look for the data to change other than as expected or for the DTC to reset.
  Were any problems found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Perform the TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Final Drive Control (FDCM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Test complete.
