PINPOINT TEST F : TRANSFER CASE CLUTCH ACTUATOR

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 34 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The transfer case clutch actuator is a reversible DC motor. When front axle torque is required, the actuator motor rotates clockwise to engage a ball-ramp device. When no torque is required, the motor rotates counter-clockwise to the kiss point position. If an AWD fault is detected, the AWD module may hold the actuator motor position, attempt full clutch release, or attempt full clutch apply.

Each time the AWD module wakes up, it will command the transfer case clutch actuator counter clockwise to the hard stop position, clockwise to the soft stop, and back to the kiss point position. If needed, it will adjust the previous kiss point position to the new learned position.

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions

DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
AWD C00A6:18 4WD/AWD Transfer Case Unit Actuator: Circuit Current Below Threshold When the AWD module commanded the transfer case actuator on, the current measured at AWD module pins 13 and 14 was less than expected. This can be caused by a shorted actuator or wire harness, or a mechanical fault in the transfer case.
AWD C00A6:19 4WD/AWD Transfer Case Unit Actuator: Circuit Current Above Threshold When the AWD module commanded the transfer case actuator on, the current measured at AWD module pins 13 and 14 was greater than expected. This can be caused by a seized actuator, a mechanical fault (seized or binding reduction gearset) in the transfer case, a short to ground in the TCMPS+ circuit, or a TCMPS+ open circuit.
AWD C00A6:71 4WD/AWD Transfer Case Unit Actuator: Actuator Stuck The AWD module was unable to learn the actuator clutch kiss point position. This can be caused by a seized actuator, a mechanical fault (seized or binding reduction gearset) in the transfer case, a short to ground in the TCMPS+ circuit, or a TCMPS+ open circuit.
AWD C00A6:74 4WD/AWD Transfer Case Unit Actuator: Actuator Slipping The AWD module was unable to learn the actuator clutch hard stop position (counter-clockwise shaft rotation).
AWD C00A6:99 4WD/AWD Transfer Case Unit Actuator: Exceeded Learning Limit The AWD module can not determine actuator position due to intermittent or conflicting transfer case actuator position sensor input.

Possible Sources

  • Transfer case clutch actuator position sensor faults
  • Loose AWD module case ground connection

PINPOINT TEST P : INVALID DATA RECEIVED FROM ANOTHER MODULE

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The AWD module expects to receive network data from other modules on HS-CAN1. The AWD will set a DTC when it receives an invalid or incomplete messages from another module. Incomplete or corrupted messages typically result from high network traffic preventing the complete message from being received within the calibrated time limit.

PINPOINT TEST Q : INCORRECT TORQUE TRANSFERRED TO FRONT AXLE AFTER INSTALLING TRANSFER CASE

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The transfer case clutch actuator is a reversible DC motor. When front axle torque is required, the actuator motor rotates clockwise to engage a ball-ramp device. When no torque is required, the motor rotates counter-clockwise to the kiss point position. If a 4WD fault is detected, the AWD module may hold the actuator motor position, attempt full clutch release, or attempt full clutch apply.

Each time the AWD module wakes up, it will command the transfer case clutch actuator AWD clockwise to the hard stop position, clockwise to the soft stop, and back to the kiss point position. If needed, the AWD module will adjust the previous kiss point position to the new learned position. Each adjustment is limited to .3 degrees.

When a new transfer case is installed, the AWD module needs to learn the new kiss point. Carry out the Transfer Case Clutch Learn procedure. REFER to: Transfer Case Clutch Learn (307-07A Four-Wheel Drive Systems, General Procedures).

Possible Sources

  • Different kiss point position in new transfer case.
  • Intermittent network connection
Diagnostic steps are not provided for this symptom or DTC.  REFER to: Diagnostic Methods (100-00 General Information, Description and Operation).
PINPOINT TEST R : THE TRANSFER CASE DOES NOT TRANSFER TORQUE CORRECTLY

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The transfer case clutch actuator is a reversible DC motor. When front axle torque is required, the actuator motor rotates clockwise to engage a ball-ramp device. When no torque is required, the motor rotates counter-clockwise to the kiss point position.

The transfer case clutch actuator operates with a maximum torque output of 1 Nm (8 in-lb). A 40:1 reduction gearset allows for precise and consistent clutch application force. Any binding or roughness in the reduction gearset can prevent the clutch from applying properly.

Possible Sources

  • Transfer case clutch actuator position sensor faults
  • Transfer case clutch actuator reduction gearset binding
  • Transfer case clutch actuator
R1 CHECK FOR TRANSFER CASE CLUTCH ACTUATOR POSITION SENSOR FAULTS
  • Review DTC retrieved from AWD module continuous memory self-test.

Are any transfer case clutch actuator position sensor DTC stored in memory?
Yes RESOLVE all transfer case clutch actuator position sensor DTC first.
No GO to R2

R2 CHECK TRANSFER CASE REDUCTION GEARSET

NOTE: Do not apply more than 18  lb.in ( 2  Nm) of torque to the transfer case clutch shaft. Excessive input torque will damage the clutch hub.

  • Remove transfer case clutch actuator.
  • Using a 6mm hex key, manually rotate the transfer case clutch shaft counter-clockwise to hard stop. The shaft should rotate easily and smoothly with less than 9  lb.in ( 1  Nm) of torque.
  • Rotate actuator shaft clockwise to soft stop. It may take up to 25 turns stop to stop. The shaft should rotate easily and smoothly with less than 9  lb.in ( 1  Nm) of torque.

Does the transfer case clutch shaft rotate easily and smoothly and hit both stop points as described?
Yes The transfer case reduction gearset and ball ramp are working as designed. INSTALL a new transfer case clutch actuator.
REFER to: Transfer Case Clutch Actuator (307-07A Four-Wheel Drive Systems, Removal and Installation).
No INSTALL a new transfer case.
REFER to: Transfer Case (307-07B Transfer Case, Removal).
REFER to: Transfer Case (307-07B Transfer Case, Installation).

PINPOINT TEST S : THE TRANSFER CASE DOES NOT TRANSFER TORQUE CORRECTLY

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The transfer case clutch is a multi-disc friction clutch used to transfer torque to the front driveline. When front axle torque is required, the actuator motor rotates clockwise to engage a ball-ramp device. When no torque is required, the motor rotates counter-clockwise to the kiss point position. If a the clutch is worn or damaged, INSTALL a new transfer case.
