NOTE: If the Active Torque Coupling (ATC) solenoid bar code information is not correct, Rear Drive Unit (RDU) damage or driveability concerns can occur.

NOTE: The diagnostic scan tool verifies the digits entered are valid and displays a message if the information is not valid.

2. Verify and if necessary, change the barcode information to match the label on the Rear Drive Unit (RDU).
