DTC Descriptor
DTC C0397 64
- Transfer Case Clutch Performance Actuator Slipping
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
In 4WD Auto mode, the transfer case shift control module (TCCM) monitors the front and rear wheel speed sensors for slip. If the TCCM detects
slip, and is unable to correct for a difference between the front and rear speed sensors, it will command the transfer case to apply the clutch.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* Ignition ON.
* System voltage 10.5-18 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The transfer case is unable to correct for slip.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* Shifting is still possible but in a reduced capacity which may cause undesirable slip correction events.
* The SERVICE 4WD indicator remains illuminated for the remainder of the current ignition cycle.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The TCCM clears the DTC once the conditions for setting the DTC are 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
Faulty wheel speed sensors can cause this DTC to set. When driving at a steady speed, the scan tool should display the same values for the
following data parameters in the electronic brake control module (EBCM):
* Left and right front wheel speed sensors
* Left and right rear wheel speed sensors
