Pinpoint Test B : The AWD (All-Wheel Drive) Gauge Is Inoperative

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford EcoSport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
See AWD Gauge. REFER to: Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) - System Operation and Component Description .

If the AWD service required, LH front wheel fill percent, RH front wheel fill percent, LH rear wheel fill percent or RH rear wheel fill percent messages are missing for less than 5 seconds or if the IPC receives invalid torque data for less than 5 seconds, the IPC defaults the display fill area next to each wheel to the last setting based upon that last message received.

If the IPC does not receive the AWD service required, LH front wheel fill percent, RH front wheel fill percent, LH rear wheel fill percent or RH rear wheel fill percent messages for 5 seconds or longer, the IPC defaults the display fill area next to each wheel off.

Possible Sources
- Communication concern
- GWM concern
- PCM input concern

B1 VERIFY THE IPC (INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER) IS SET TO DISPLAY THE GAUGE
- Ignition ON.
- NOTE: The IPC and message center navigation can be found in the Owner's Literature.
  
  Using the message center controls, make sure the IPC is set to display the gauge in question.
Is the IPC set to display the gauge?

Yes GO to B2

No The gauge is operating correctly. The IPC was not set to display the AWD gauge.

B2 PERFORM THE IPC (INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER) SELF-TEST
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the IPC self-test.
- Check for recorded Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) from the IPC self-test.
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?

Yes REFER to DTC Chart: Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)

No GO to B3

B3 PERFORM THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) KOEO (KEY ON, ENGINE OFF) SELF-TEST
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the PCMKOEO self-test.
- Check for recorded Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) from the PCM self-test.
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?

Yes REFER to ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROLS (1.0L) or refer to ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROLS (2.0L)

No GO to B4

B4 CHECK THE GWM (GATEWAY MODULE A) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, check the GWM Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CMDTCs).
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?

Yes

No INSTALL a new IPC. REFER to: Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) .
