DTC Chart: AWD System - PCM

Diagnostics in this manual assume a certain skill level and knowledge of Ford-specific diagnostic practices.
REFER to: Diagnostic Methods (100-00 General Information, Description and Operation).

Network DTCs (U-codes) are often a result of intermittent concerns such as damaged wiring or low battery voltage occurrences. Additionally, vehicle repair procedures, such as module reprogramming, often set network DTCs. Replacing a module to resolve a network DTC is unlikely to resolve the concern. To prevent repeat network DTC concerns, inspect all network wiring, especially connectors. Test the vehicle battery.

Symptom Chart

Diagnostics in this manual assume a certain skill level and knowledge of Ford-specific diagnostic practices.
REFER to: Diagnostic Methods (100-00 General Information, Description and Operation).

In most circumstances, the PCM sets DTCs to help guide with diagnostics. Refer to the DTC Chart before using the symptom chart. The Symptom column lists the vehicle condition. The Possible Sources column lists a detailed vehicle condition. The Action column lists the action to be performed to determine the cause of the condition. Each action lists the components that can cause the system and the individual components in that system. The components are listed in order of disassembly. Use the list of components and the required action to focus on disassembly inspections for the root cause of the concern.

AWD System Functional Test

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The AWD system is an active system, which means it not only responds to wheel slip between the front and rear axles but also has the ability to anticipate wheel slip and transfer torque to the rear wheels before the slip occurs. The AWD system is active all the time and requires no input from the operator. The AWD system continuously monitors vehicle conditions and automatically adjusts the torque distribution between the front and rear wheels. During normal operation, most of the torque is delivered to the front wheels. If wheel slip between the front and rear wheels is detected, if the vehicle is under acceleration or if the vehicle is in a handling event, the AWD system increases and distributes torque to the rear wheels as needed. When the AWD system is functioning properly, there should be no perceived speed difference between the front and rear axles when launching or driving the vehicle on any uniform surface. Traction should be similar to a part time 4WD system in 4H (4X4 HIGH), but have no binding in turns.

The AWD_CLTCH_CMD PID percentage displayed on the scan tool is an inverse value. 95% = Clutch is released, 5% = Clutch fully applied.

NOTE: 0% is an invalid command. A DTC may set if 0% is commanded using output state control.

  • Constant velocity joints
  • Driveshaft
  • Halfshafts
  • Tire size

P183D Transfer Case Fluid Over Temperature This DTC sets in the PCM when the PTU fluid temperature has exceeded it's maximum operating temperature.

Possible Causes

  • Wiring, terminals and connectors
  • Transfer case fluid temperature sensor (Power Transfer unit Sensor)
  • PCM

Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks

  • Transfer case fluid temperature sensor wiring harness
  • PTU operation is normal and quiet
  • PTU fluid level

PINPOINT TEST F : P182B, P182C, P182D, P183D
F1 RETRIEVE AND RECORD ALL DTCS
  • Using the diagnostic scan tool, retrieve all DTCs.

Is DTC P182B, P182C, P182D, and/or P183D present?
Yes For DTCs P182B, P182C, P182D, GO to F2 For DTC P0183D only, GO to F6
No System is operating correctly a this time. Confirm that the power transfer unit is not overheating due to a mechanical issue.
REFER to: Power Transfer Unit (308-07C Power Transfer Unit - 6-Speed Automatic Transmission – 6F50/6F55, Diagnosis and Testing).

F2 CHECK THE TRANSFER CASE FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL VOLTAGE
  • Ignition OFF.
  • Disconnect the PTU C1831 .
  • Inspect the connector for damaged or pushed-out terminals, corrosion, loose wires and missing or damaged seals.
  • Ignition ON.
  • Measure:
    Click to display connectors
    Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C1831-1 Ford Fusion. Four-Wheel Drive Systems. Diagnosis and Testing   Ground

Is the voltage greater than 4.1 volts?
Yes GO to F3
No GO to F4

F3 CHECK THE TRANSFER CASE FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
  • Measure:
    Click to display connectors
    Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C1831-1 Ford Fusion. Four-Wheel Drive Systems. Diagnosis and Testing   C1831-2

Is the voltage greater than 4.1 volts?
Yes GO to F5
No REPAIR the circuit.

F4 CHECK THE TRANSFER CASE FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
  • Ignition OFF.
  • Disconnect the PCM C1231B .
  • 2.7L engine, measure:
    Click to display connectors
    Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C1831-1 Ford Fusion. Four-Wheel Drive Systems. Diagnosis and Testing   C1231B-76

Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
Yes GO to F5
No REPAIR the circuit.

F5 CHECK THE TRANSFER CASE FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
  • Measure:
    Click to display connectors
    Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C1831-1 Ford Fusion. Four-Wheel Drive Systems. Diagnosis and Testing   Ground

Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
Yes GO to F6
No REPAIR the circuit.

F6 CHECK THE TRANSFER CASE FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR RESISTANCE
