Pinpoint Test AL: An Off-Road Mode Message Is Inoperative/Always On (Raptor Only)

Normal Operation

The message center displays off-road mode messages to inform the driver they have entered or exited various states of the off-road mode function. When the off-road mode is active, the standard vehicle speed thresholds for the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) are lifted and the AdvanceTrac(R) settings are altered for optimized off-road driving. The IPC receives the off-road mode signal from the Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN).

If the off-road mode message is missing for less than 5 seconds, the IPC defaults the applicable off-road mode message center indicator to the last on/off state, based upon the last off-road mode status message received.

If the off-road mode status message is missing for greater than 5 seconds, the IPC sets DTC U0102:00 and defaults the applicable off-road mode message center indicator off.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Message center concern
- Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) concern
- TCCM
