
NOTE: If the meter does not show battery voltage,
troubleshoot the LIGHTS fuse on the power distribu-
tion module, the ignition switch, or the main harness.
3. Connect the red meter lead to the yellow wire; then
select the high beam position on the headlight
switch. The meter must show battery voltage.
4. Connect the red meter lead to either of the two white
wires; then select the low beam position on the head-
light switch. The meter must show battery voltage.

NOTE: The battery voltage will show lower in steps
3 and 4 due to electrical loading of the headlights.
Drive Select
RESISTANCE
1. Remove the switch assembly from the dash; then dis-
connect the harness from the switch.
 NOTE: The switch can be removed from the dash
using a thin, flat pry bar or suitable putty knife. It is not
necessary to remove the dash to remove the switch.
2. Using an ohmmeter, the following readings must be
observed.
PR566A
Drive Select
VOLTAGE

NOTE: Voltage tests must be made with the switch
and the actuator connected. The meter can be con-
nected at the actuator connector using a break-out
harness or MaxiClips. The front drive actuator must
be connected.
1. Connect the black tester lead to the black wire; then
turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Select the DC Volts position on the tester and
observe the meter readings for each of the three
switch positions.

NOTE: If the meter does not show voltages accord-
ing to the chart, make sure the front drive actuator is
plugged in; then troubleshoot the switch, ignition
fuses, battery connections, or wiring harness.
Reverse Override
VOLTAGE

NOTE: To perform the following tests, the ignition
switch must be in the ON position and the transmis-
sion shifted into reverse gear.
1. Connect the red meter lead to the red/green wire and
the black meter lead to a suitable ground; then select
2WD on the drive select switch. The meter must
show battery voltage.
2. Depress the reverse override switch. The meter must
show near zero volts.
3. Select 4WD on the drive select switch. The meter
must show battery voltage.
4. Depress the reverse override switch. The meter must
show near zero volts.
5. If equipped, select “LOCK” on the drive select
switch. The meter must show battery voltage.
6. Depress the reverse override switch. The meter will
typically read <0.1 DC volt.

NOTE: If the voltage readings are correct and a
momentary “whirring” sound is not heard from the
front drive actuator, check voltage at the actuator
connector. If voltage readings are correct and the con-
nector and the actuator doesn’t operate, the actuator
must be replaced.
Fan Motor
 NOTE: Preliminary checks may be performed on
this component using the diagnostic mode on the LCD
gauge (see EFI Diagnostic System in this section).
 NOTE: To determine if the fan motor is good, con-
nect the red wire from the fan connector to the posi-
tive side of a 12 volt battery; then connect the black
wire from the fan connector to the negative side. The
fan should operate.
Component data can be retrieved using the CATT II. Uti-
lize the Sensor Data screen.
