Diagnostic Test
- CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
- With the scan tool, read Torque Vectoring Module (TVM) DTCs and record on the repair order.
- With the scan tool, erase TVM DTCs.
- Turn the ignition off for ten seconds.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, read TVM DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION procedure. Refer to TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
- CHECK THE RIGHT TORQUE MOTOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
- Start the engine and allow it to run until the Right Torque Motor Temperature reaches 50° C.
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Right Torque Motor connector.
- Measure the resistance between the terminals of the Right Torque Motor Temperature Sensor.
Is the resistance above 1.5k Ohm with the Right Torque Motor temperature at or above 50° C?
Yes
- Replace the Right Torque Motor in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the TVM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
No
- Go To 3
- CHECK THE (T444) RIGHT TORQUE MOTOR TEMPERATURE SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Disconnect the TVM 15 pin connector.
- Check the continuity between ground and the (T444) Right Torque Motor Temperature Signal circuit.
Is there continuity between ground and the (T444) Right Torque Motor Temperature Signal circuit?
Yes
- Repair the (T444) Right Torque Motor Temperature Signal circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the TVM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
No
- Go To 4
- CHECK RELATED WIRING AND HARNESS CONNECTIONS
- Turn the ignition off.
- Check the related component and module power supply and ground circuits.
- Disconnect the TVM harness connector(s).
- Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
- Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
- Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
- Proper connector installation.
- Damaged connector locks.
- Corrosion.
- Other signs of water intrusion.
- Weather seal damage (if equipped).
- Bent terminals.
- Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
- Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
- Perform a terminal drag test on each connector terminal to verify proper terminal tension.
Repair any conditions that are found.
- Reconnect all harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Using the recorded information along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions, operate the vehicle within the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read TVM DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Replace the TVM in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the TVM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
No
- Perform the TVM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- Test complete.
