Solenoid (A): On differential housing of transaxle.
Driver Module (B): Under cargo box on LH (driver’s) side
frame. Input wire harness (to solenoid driver module)
connector is shown at (C), and output harness (to
solenoid) at (D).
SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAM REFERENCE: See AWD
System Wiring Diagram, page 8.31.
OVERVIEW: The differential solenoid driver is located on
the left side of the rear frame under the cargo box. When
the solenoid is energized by selecting TURF mode on
the AWD switch, the solenoid plunger extends and
pushes against a shift fork to disengage the differential
dog gear with the differential.
NOTE
The rear differential will not unlock if the parking brake
is set.
SOLENOID TEST
The solenoid unit can be tested separately by
briefly
applying a 12 volt DC power source to the solenoid wires
for
no more than 1 second . Do not use the vehicle
batteries for the test.
If the rear differential fails to switch from operational
modes:
• Separate and inspect all solenoid and relay
connectors.
• Check for power from the solenoid driver connector (to
ensure solenoid has power to be activated). Check
power supply to solenoid driver module.
• Check AWD switch and switch wire contacts.
• Remove solenoid and return spring from differential
case. Push lever arm manually to ensure mechanical
portion of system is functional. Test solenoid to be sure
the plunger is actuating.
CAUTION
Do not power the solenoid with 12 Volts for more than 1
second, or damage may occur to solenoid.
NOTE
Disconnect the Main Power Connector (see chapter 1)
before disconnecting any electrical component. The
Main Power Connector is the first to disconnect and the
last to connect when servicing the electrical system.
