Circuit Description

The transfer case shift-control module normally has battery voltage supplied through the battery positive voltage circuit (CKT 40) at all times. When the ignition is ON, the transfer case shift control module conducts a self-test. This self-test determines if the current memory is the same memory that was retained when the ignition was last turned OFF. This self-test indicates whether the RAM standby power-supply to the transfer case shift control module pin C6 was interrupted. If the power is interrupted, the DTCs would be cleared from memory. If the self-test fails, the transfer case shift-control module sets DTC 1.
