  Is there any voltage present?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the short to ground in the (T315) Shift Motor Control A circuit.
  - Perform the DTCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Go To 6
(T315) SHIFT MOTOR CONTROL A CIRCUIT OPEN
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Measure the resistance of the (T315) Shift Motor Control A circuit between the Transfer Case Motor (AWD) C1 harness connector and the DTCM harness connector.
  Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 7
  No
  - Repair the open in the (T315) Shift Motor Control A circuit.
  - Perform the DTCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
TRANSFER CASE MOTOR (T316) SHIFT CONTROL MOTOR B CIRCUIT SHORTED INTERNALLY
1. Connect the Transfer Case Motor (AWD) C1 harness connector.
2. Check for continuity between ground and the (T316) Shift Control Motor B circuit at the DTCM harness connector.
  Is there continuity between ground and the (T316) Shift Control Motor B circuit?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the short to ground in the (T316) Shift Control Motor B circuit.
  - Perform the DTCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Go To 8
DRIVE TRAIN CONTROL MODULE (DTCM)
NOTE:
