- Measure the resistance of the (T315) Step Motor Control A circuit from the Transfer Case Motor C1 harness connector to the DTCM C2 harness connector.
Is the resistance above 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Repair the (T315) Step Motor Control B circuit for an open.
- Perform the TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
No
- Go To 3
- (T316) STEP MOTOR CONTROL B CIRCUIT OPEN
- Measure the resistance of the (T316) Step Motor Control B circuit from the Transfer Case Motor C1 harness connector to the DTCM C2 harness connector.
Is the resistance above 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Repair the (T316) Step Motor Control B circuit for an open.
- Perform the TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
No
- Go To 4
- Measure the resistance of the (T316) Step Motor Control B circuit from the Transfer Case Motor C1 harness connector to the DTCM C2 harness connector.
- (T315) STEP MOTOR CONTROL A CIRCUIT VOLTAGE
- Ignition on, engine not running.
- Measure the voltage of the (T315) Step Motor Control A circuit at the Transfer Case Motor C1 harness connector.
Is the voltage above 0.5 of a volt?
Yes
- Repair the (T315) Step Motor Control A circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
No
- Go To 5
- (T316) STEP MOTOR CONTROL B CIRCUIT VOLTAGE
- Measure the voltage of the (T316) Step Motor Control B circuit at the Transfer Case Motor C1 harness connector.
Is the voltage above 0.5 of a volt?
Yes
- Repair the (T316) Step Motor Control B circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
No
- Go To 6
- Measure the voltage of the (T316) Step Motor Control B circuit at the Transfer Case Motor C1 harness connector.
- TRANSFER CASE MOTOR
- Reconnect the Transfer Case Motor C1 harness connector.
- Measure the resistance between the (T315) Step Motor Control A circuit and the (T316) Step Motor Control B circuit at the DTCM C2 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Replace the Drive Train Control Module (DTCM) in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, DRIVETRAIN CONTROL, REMOVAL .
- Perform the DTCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
No
- Replace the Transfer Case Motor in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MOTOR, SHIFT, REMOVAL .
- Perform the TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- INTERMITTENT WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTORS
- Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring harness and connectors.
- Wiggle test the wiring harness and connectors while monitoring the scan tool data relative to this circuit.
- 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
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
No
- Test complete, the condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time.
