DTC Descriptor
DTC C0300: Rear Speed Sensor MalfunctionCircuit/System Description
The rear propshaft speed sensor is a permanent magnet generator. The permanent magnet generator produces a pulsing AC voltage. The AC voltage level and number of pulses increase as speed increases. The module converts the pulsating AC voltage to a propshaft RPM which is used for calculations. The propshaft RPM can be displayed with a scan tool.
This DTC detects an open, short to ground, short to voltage, or faulty sensor.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The ignition is ON. |
| • | System voltage is 9-18 volts. |
| • | Vehicle speed exceeds 16 km/h (10 mph). |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The system logs the DTC if the rear propshaft input indicates a speed of less than 16 RPM for 30 seconds while all of the following are true:
| • | The transmission is NOT in PARK/NEUTRAL. |
| • | The engine is running. |
| • | Vehicle Speed On Class 2 Data bus exceeds 16 km/h (10 mph). |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | All shifts to AUTO, Adapt mode are disabled. If the current mode is AUTO, the system does not allow any further adaptive events, correct slip. |
| • | The SERVICE AWD indicator remains illuminated for the remainder of the current ignition cycle. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The transfer case shift control module clears the DTC if the condition for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 100 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present. |
| • | History DTCs can be cleared using a scan tool. |
