Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K47 Rear Differential Clutch Control Module.
  2. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal B and control circuit terminal A at the K47 Rear Differential Clutch Control Module terminals, ignition ON.
  3. Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the Rear Differential Clutch Solenoid Valve between 0mA and 200mA.
    • If the test lamp is always ON 

      Replace the K47 Rear Differential Clutch Control Module.

    • If the test lamp is always OFF 

      Replace the K47 Rear Differential Clutch Control Module.

    • If the test lamp turns ON and OFF 
  4. Ignition OFF, disconnect the connector at the Q49 Differential Clutch Solenoid Valve.
  5. Test for less than 1V on the control circuits listed below and ground.
    • Control circuit terminal B
    • Control circuit terminal A
    • If 1V or greater 

      Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

    • If less than 1V 
  6. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit terminals and ground.
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Repair the short to ground on the circuit.

    • If infinite resistance 
  7. Test for less than 2Ω for the control circuit terminals end to end.
    • If 2Ω or greater 

      Repair the open/high resistance on the circuit.

    • If less than 2Ω 
  8. Test or replace the 49 Differential Clutch Solenoid Valve.
