DTC P0818 Driveline Disconnect Switch Input Circuit


DESCRIPTION

The ECM detects the signal from the transfer neutral position switch.
This DTC indicates that the transfer neutral position switch remains on.

DTC Code
DTC Detection Condition
Trouble Area
P0818
Transfer neutral position switch remains on while vehicle is being driven under following conditions for 30 sec. (2-trip detection logic):
  1. Vehicle speed is 25 km/h (16 mph) or more
  2. Transfer shift lever is in H
  1. Short in transfer neutral position switch circuit
  2. Transfer neutral position switch
  3. ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM detects whether or not the transfer shift lever is in neutral by monitoring the signal from the transfer neutral position switch.
If the transfer neutral position switch indicates that the transfer shift lever is in neutral under all of the following conditions, the ECM will conclude that there is a malfunction of the transfer neutral position switch.
  1. The transfer shift lever is in the H position.
  2. The vehicle is traveling at 25 km/h (16 mph) or more.
  3. The transfer neutral position switch has been on for more than 30 seconds.
Then the ECM will illuminate the MIL and store the DTC.
