Pinpoint Test V: The Vehicle Binds in Turns/Resists Turning/Pulsates/Shudders in a Straight Line

Refer to Wiring Vehicle/Diagrams, Four Wheel Drive Systems for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

When the vehicle is operating in 4H, all 4 wheels rotate at the same speed. The amount of traction the vehicle can achieve is dependent on the amount of traction each tire can establish with the road surface. In order for the four wheel drive (4WD) system to function correctly, each tire must be in good condition and the front and rear axle ratios must match.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

^ 4H indicator
^ 4X4 control module (PCM)
^ Transfer case and related components
^ Wheel/tire assemblies
