    Is DTC C1852-18 indicated?

    YES 

    The failure is duplicated. Go to step 3.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.

  3. Determine possible failure area (D-GND line, others)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Disconnect the rear differential subharness D-GND wire terminal from the rear differential assembly.

    -3. Check for continuity between the following test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
    Rear differential subharness D-GND wire terminal: disconnected
    Test point 1 Rear differential subharness D-GND wire terminal
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Go to step 4.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the D-GND wires between the AWD control unit and ground (G503).

  4. Determine possible failure area (D-GND2 line, others)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Disconnect the rear differential subharness D-GND2 wire terminal from the rear differential assembly.

    -3. Check for continuity between the following test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
    Rear differential subharness D-GND2 wire terminal: disconnected
    Test point 1 Rear differential subharness D-GND2 terminal
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Go to step 5.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the D-GND2 wires between the AWD control unit and ground (G503).

  5. Determine possible failure area (DTYH1 line, others)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode

    -2. Disconnect the following connector.

    Rear differential solenoid valve 1P connector

    -3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -4. Wait for 10 seconds.

    -5. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
      Rear differential solenoid valve 1P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 Rear differential solenoid valve 1P connector (female terminals) No. 1:
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there about 0.1 V or less?

    YES 

    Go to step 7.

    NO 

    Go to step 6.

  6. Shorted wire check (DTYH1 line to power)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Disconnect the following connector.

    AWD control unit 24P connector

    -3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
      Rear differential solenoid valve 1P connector: disconnected
      AWD control unit 24P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 Rear differential solenoid valve 1P connector (female terminals) No. 1:
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there about 0.1 V or less?

    YES 

    Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting or substitute a known-good real time AWD control unit , and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good AWD control unit, replace the original AWD control unit .

    NO 

    Repair a short to power in the DTYH1 wire between the rear differential solenoid valve and the AWD control unit.

  7. Rear differential solenoid valve check

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. On the solenoid valve side, measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      Rear differential solenoid valve 1P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 Rear differential solenoid valve 1P connector (male terminals) No. 1:
    Test point 2 Rear differential solenoid valve body

    Is there about 100 Ω or less?

    YES 

    The rear differential solenoid valve is OK. Go to step 8.

    NO 

    Replace the rear differential solenoid valve .

  8. Shorted wire check (DTYH1 line)

    -1. Disconnect the following connector.

    AWD control unit 24P connector

    -2. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Repair a short to ground in the DTYH1 wire between the rear differential solenoid valve and the AWD control unit.

    NO 

    The DTYH1 wire is not shorted. Go to step 9.

  9. Open wire check (DTYH1 line)

    -1. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
