ACTIVE DESCENT CONTROL (ADC)
COIL

Operation Overview

• AWD switch must be 'ON'. 12Vdc power is present at
the ADC hub coil.
• ECU pin #11 controls the grounding of the ADC hub
coil for operation.
• ECU Pin #20 senses the gear signal indicating the
transmission is engaged and is not in Park or Neutral.
• ECU pin #27 senses the speed sensor signal for
determining if vehicle speed is below 15 Mph.
• ECU senses the TPS position and will cancel ADC
operation if TPS moves off 'idle' position.
• System must be grounded to operate.

Diagnosing System Failures

• Verify the AWD switch is functional.
• Verify the ADC hub coil is functional. Test the ADC
hub coil using an ohm meter.
ADC Hub Coil Resistance:
Ω
12
• Verify the TPS is functioning correctly. Test using
Digital Wrench Diagnostic Software. (Dealer Only)
• Verify the wiring harness, wiring, connectors,
connector pins, grounds and ECU pin locations are
undamaged, clean and connect properly.
• Verify continuity of wire connections with a known
good volt/ohm meter.
IMPORTANT: Verify all wires and wiring connections
have been tested properly with a known good volt/
ohm meter before suspecting a component failure.
80% of all electrical issues are caused by bad/failed
connections and grounds.
NOTE: Refer to the ADC subsystem diagram located
in 'Wire Diagrams' at the end of this chapter.
