Monitor the PID 4WDSGEM.
Rotate the mode switch through the 2H, A4WD, 4H, and 4L positions.
Does the PID 4WDSGEM agree with the A4WD switch positions?
Yes
GO to B13.
No
GO to B7.
Rotate the mode switch to the 2H, A4WD, 4H, and 4L positions.
Measure the resistance between mode switch terminals 2 and 3 while rotating the mode switch through all switch
positions; refer to the following chart.
Switch Position Resistance Range
2H
3705-4095 ohms
A4WD
1425-1575 ohms
4H
646-714 ohms
4L
228-252 ohms
Are the resistances within specification?
Yes
GO to B8.
No
REPLACE the mode switch. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
Measure the resistance between mode switch C230-3, circuit 780 (DB), and GEM C241-8, circuit 780 (DB).
