Differential Out Test
The following test must be performed with the key switch in the "on" position. Disconnect the solenoid

from the harness. Using a Digital Mutimeter check for DC power on the orange/white wire on the harness
side of the connector. The measurement should be at or near battery voltage.

Differential Ground Test
Perform the following test with the Ignition switch ON and AWD/Turf Mode switch in the on or lowest
position. Unplug the harness leading to the differential solenoid. Using a Digital Multimeter check the

resistance to ground at the Blue wire on the harness side of the connection. The reading will be
approximately 5.5kΩ. With the Ignition switch in the off position or the AWD/Turf switch in center or
upper positions the resistance reading will be approximately 15.5kΩ.
What does passing
Passing this test indicates the PDM and AWD/Turf Mode switch are operating normally.

What does failing
Failing this test indicates the AWD/Turf Mode switch, wire harness, or PDM may be suspect.

ACS Out Test
Using Digital Multimeter check for DCV on the pink wire at the back of the hour meter. Immediately after
the Ignition switch is turned to the on position (Engine off) a reading of at or near battery voltage will be

present for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds the reading will drop to 0 DCV. A reading of at or near battery
voltage will be present on the pink wire at all times when AC signal is present at the PDM from the stator
(Engine running).
What does passing
Passing this test indicates the PDM is correctly providing power to the circuit.
