WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Ford Pickup, 2011 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2011 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2011 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Make sure the battery is fully charged before carrying out this pinpoint test.

Q1 CHECK FOR DTCs
NOTE: Failure to place the Mode Select Switch (MSS) in 2H or OFF prior to carrying out a self-test of the TCCM(to disable the ELDfield coil) results in inaccurate self-test.
- Ignition ON.
- Set the Mode Select Switch (MSS) in 2H (Electronic Shift-On-The-Fly (ESOF).
- Set the Mode Select Switch (MSS) in OFF (2-Wheel Drive (2WD) or MSOS).
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self-Test - TCCM.
- Are any DTCs present?
- Yes: For DTC P1833:00, GO to Q4. For DTC P1835:00, GO to Q2. For all other DTCs, REFER to the TRANSFER CASE CONTROL MODULE (TCCM) DTC CHART .
- No: IDENTIFY the customer concern and GO to Symptom Chart ; Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) System.
Q2 CHECK FOR TCCMDTCs WITH THE ELDFIELD COIL DISCONNECTED
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: ELDField Coil C4359.
- Ignition ON.
- Set the Mode Select Switch (MSS) in 2H (Electronic Shift-On-The-Fly (ESOF).
- Set the Mode Select Switch (MSS) in OFF (2-Wheel Drive (2WD) or MSOS).
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self-Test - TCCM.
- CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. Does DTC P1835:00 return?

- Yes: GO to Q5.
- No: REPAIR circuit CCF31 (BN/VT). CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation. REPEAT the self-test.
Q5 CHECK FOR CORRECT TCCMOPERATION
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect all TCCMconnectors.
- Check for:
  - corrosion.
  - pushed-out pins.
- Connect all TCCMconnectors and make sure they are seated correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?
- Yes: INSTALL a new TCCM. REFER to TRANSFER CASE CONTROL MODULE (TCCM) . TEST the system for normal operation. REPEAT the self-test.
- No: The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation. REPEAT the self-test.
