ELECTRICAL
ALL WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) COIL
Operation Overview
• When the AWD switch is “ON”, 12 VDC power is
present at the hub coil.
• If the criteria is met, the instrument cluster provides a
ground path at pin #16 (Brown/White wire). When this
occurs the AWD icon should display in the instrument
cluster.
• The AWD system must be grounded to operate.
Diagnosing System Failures
• Verify the AWD switch is functional and that a
minimum of 11 volts is present at the hub coil.
• Verify the AWD hub coil is functional. Test the AWD
hub coil using an ohm meter. See specifications below:
• Verify the wiring harness, wiring, connectors,
connector pins and grounds are undamaged, clean and
connected properly.
• Verify continuity of wire connections with a volt/ohm
meter.
IMPORTANT: Verify all wires and wiring connections
have been tested properly with a known good volt/
ohm meter before suspecting a component failure.
80% of all electrical issues are caused by bad/failed
connections and grounds.
