AWD Diagnosis
Symptom: AWD Will Not Engage
1. Check the gearcase coil resis
tance. To test the coil
resistance, measure between Grey and Brown/White
wires. Measurement should be within specification.
2. Turn the ignition and AWD switches on and place gear
se
lector in High or Low gear. Check for minimum
battery voltage at the Gray and Brown/White chassis
wires that power the coil. A minimum of 11 Vdc should
be present.
3. If electrical tests are within specification, remove
ge
arcase (see “Gearcase Removal”) and inspect
components.
4. Inspect armature plate for a consistent wear pattern.
Th
ere should be two distinct wear bands (one band
inside the other). If only one band of wear is present
(or if there is wear between the two bands), inspect
the coil area as indicated in Step 5. A wear band with
an interrupted wear mark may indicate a warped
plate, which may cause intermittent operation.
5. Check to make sure the coil is seated in the U-shaped
inser
t that is pressed into the gearcase cover. The top
of the coil should be seated below the U-shaped
insert. The U-shaped insert controls the pole gap. If
the top of the coil is above the surface of the U-shaped
insert it raises the armature plate, thereby increasing
pole gap. If the pole gap increases the coil will not be
strong enough to engage the AWD system. If this is
found, replace the cover plate assembly.
6. Inspect the rollers for nicks and scratches. The rollers
must slide up, down, in and ou
t freely within the roll
cage sliding surfaces and H-springs.
7. Inspect the roll cage assembly for crack
s or excessive
wear. If damaged, replace the roll cage assembly.
