| Circuit/System Description |
The rear drive clutch solenoid valve is internal to the torque transfer device housing. The rear differential clutch control module supplies battery voltage to the control circuit and ground to the low reference circuit of the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is controlled by a pulse width modulated signal (PWM-signal). The solenoid valve controls the hydraulic pressure to the torque converter's clutch pack. The locking level of the torque transfer device depends on the engagement of the clutch package.
| Conditions for Running the DTC |
The ignition is ON.
| Conditions for Setting the DTC |
| • |
The rear differential clutch control module detects a short to ground on the control circuit of the rear drive clutch solenoid valve.
|
|
| • |
The rear differential clutch control module detects a current more than 11 A on the control circuit of the rear drive clutch solenoid valve.
|
|

| Circuit/System Verification |
| 1. |
Engine running and vehicle stationary.
|
|
| 2. |
Check using a scan tool that the rear clutch status parameter indicates Temporarily limited.
|
|
| 3. |
If the parameter does not show Temporarily limited
|
|
| 3.1. |
Check that DTC C0406 is not set.
|
| 3.2. |
If the DTC is set, replace K47 rear differential clutch control module and Q48 for the rear drive clutch solenoid valve.
|
| 3.3. |
If the DTC is not set:
|
| 3.4. |
Everything is OK
|
| 4. |
If the parameter shows Temporarily limited
|
|
| 5. |
Everything is OK
