Pinpoint Test A : DTC P185A:00: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Refer to Two Wheel Drive/Four Wheel Drive Systems for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation
When the ELD MSS is engaged to lock the rear differential, the ELD MSS opens allowing the voltage being monitored by the TCCM to go high. When the TCCM senses the voltage is high it activates the ELD. The TCCM sends a message to the IPC via the HS-CAN requesting the IPC illuminate the ELD message center indicator.
