Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Hummer H2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  This step determines if one or more of the encoder channel circuits are shorted to ground.
  2. 3:  This step checks with a digital multimeter (DMM) for a short to ground on any of the 4 encoder channel circuits.
  3. 4:  This step checks the encoder sign return circuit for a short to ground.
  4. 5:  This step determines if a faulty transfer case shift control module is causing the DTC to set.
  5. 6:  This step determines if the encoder motor is causing the DTC to set.
