Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Range Signal Circuit Low
Voltage on the 4WD range signal line is below the expected window. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
Affected components
- Four wd range sensor
- Wiring harness
Common causes
- High likelihood: Signal wire shorted to ground
- Medium likelihood: Internal short in range sensor
- Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
Diagnostic notes
- The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
