DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports this DTC:
DTC C0374 General System Malfunction

Conditions for Running the DTC
^ The ignition is ON.
^ The system voltage is 9 - 16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
The transfer case shift control module is unable to correct sensed slip for 10 consecutive seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ All shifts to Auto 4WD mode is disabled. If the current mode is Auto 4WD, the system does not allow any further adaptive events, correcting for wheel slip.
