Action Taken When the DTC Sets
Normal operation, the SERVICE 4WD indicator is commanded ON for the remainder of the ignition cycle. Driver is also informed of fault via bulb
inspection.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The TCCM clears the DTC once the condition for setting the DTC no longer present.
* A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles without a fault present.
* History DTCs can be cleared using a scan tool.
Diagnostic Aids
* A TRUE B+ has enough current to light a test light.
* A DIAGNOSTIC B+ is a low current circuit that DOES NOT have enough current to light a test light.
* A short to ground on the Neutral indicator control circuit will cause the Neutral indicator to remain ON at all times.
* An open or high resistance will cause the Neutral indicator to be inoperative during the 2 second bulb inspection.
* EL-49741 - harness is a good source for 9 V.
* EL-49742 - harness is a good source for B+ and ground.
* With key REMOVED - opening a door puts a true B+ on the indicator dimming control circuit, TCSCS X1 pin 4. Other possible voltages are
listed below:
- Door open, key removed - indicator dimming control circuit voltage = true B+.
- Door open, key in, key OFF - indicator dimming control circuit voltage = true B+.
- Door open, key ON, engine OFF - indicator dimming control circuit voltage = diagnostic B+.
- All doors closed, key OFF - indicator dimming control circuit voltage = B+ (high current - enough to light a test light).
- All doors closed, key ON, engine OFF - indicator dimming control circuit voltage = diagnostic B+.
- Key ON, engine OFF. Place a shop light on the DRL sensor. When the DRL sensor commands the headlights OFF, the indicator dimming
control circuit voltage, TCSCS X1 pin 4, will go from a diagnostic B+ to a true B+.

Circuit/System Verification
Key ON, engine OFF. The TCCM runs a 2 second bulb test on all indicators of the TCSCS at key ON.
Circuit/System Testing
Note: When test probing harness terminals, it is imperative to use the proper test probe from the most current version of the J 35616 - GM
terminal test kit. Use of an improper test probe may deform the terminal, resulting in intermittent open conditions.
1. Remove key. Disconnect the X1 connector at the transfer case shift control switch (TCSCS).
2. Key removed. Using the L-BU probe J 35616-64B, test for a diagnostic B+ (+0.0/-1.0 V) between the Ignition 1 voltage circuit, TCSCS X1
