DTC Descriptor
DTC C0406 0B
- Transfer Case Solenoid Valve Control Circuit High Current
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The rear drive clutch solenoid valve is internal to the torque transfer device housing. The rear differential clutch control module supplies battery
voltage to the control circuit and ground to the low reference circuit of the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is controlled by a pulse width
modulation (PWM) signal. The solenoid valve controls the hydraulic pressure to the clutch package of the torque transfer device. The locking level
of the torque transfer device depends on the engagement of the clutch package.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
* The rear differential clutch control module detects a short to ground on the control circuit of the rear drive clutch solenoid valve.
* The rear differential clutch control module detects a current more than 11 A on the control circuit of the rear drive clutch solenoid valve.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
One or more of the following actions may occur:
* All-wheel drive (AWD) is disabled.
* Service Rear Axle is displayed on the driver information center.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.
* The DTC is not detected in 40 consecutive ignition cycles.
