Instrumentation, Message Center and Warning Chimes

Pinpoint Test AD: The 4X4, 4X4 LOW Or 4X4 AUTO Message Center Indicator Is Never/Always On (If Equipped)

Normal Operation

The Instrument Cluster (IC) receives the Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) status from the 4X4 control module over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) communication bus. If the IC (Instrument Cluster) receives a message that the 4WD (Four-Wheel Drive) system is in the process of shifting from 2-Wheel Drive (2WD) to either 4X4 high or 4X4 low, the message center displays the message 4X4 SHIFT IN PROGRESS and the appropriate 4X4, 4X4 LOW or 4X4 AUTO message center indicator is turned off. If the IC (Instrument Cluster) receives a message that the 4WD (Four-Wheel Drive) system is not in the process of completing a 4X4 shift or the shift event has ended, the message center cancels the displayed message and the 4X4, 4X4 LOW or 4X4 AUTO message center indicator is turned on. If the 4X4 status message is missing for greater than 5 seconds, the IC (Instrument Cluster) sets DTC U0102 and defaults the 4X4 AUTO message center indicator off.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- 4X4 control module

- Message center concern
