The ELSD Actuator will require replacement if DTC C1490-00-REAR DIFFERENTIAL ACTUATOR INITIALIZATION FAILURE, C148F-1D-REAR DIFFERENTIAL MEASURED MOTOR - CIRCUIT OUT OF RANGE, and/or C1489-96-REAR DIFFERENTIAL MOTOR BRAKE - COMPONENT INTERNAL FAILURE is either stored or active in the ELSD module’s memory. Were one or more of the previous DTC’s either Active or Stored in the ELSD Module’s memory? a. YES>>>Proceed to the next Step. b. NO>>>Proceed to Step #3. 2. Replace the ELSD actuator (p/n 68084266AB). Refer to DealerCONNECT>Service>TechCONNECT>Service Info>03 Differential and Driveline>Rear Axle - 230 RIA>MOTOR, Electronic Limited slip>Differential>Removal/Installation for additional information. NOTE: Install a battery charger to ensure battery voltage does not drop below 13.2 volts. Do not allow the charging voltage to climb above 13.5 volts during the flash process. NOTE: If this flash process is interrupted/aborted, the flash should be restarted. 3. Reprogram the ELSD Module with the latest software. Help using the wiTECH Diagnostic Application for flashing control modules is available through the wiTECH Diagnostic Application. For instructions select the “HELP” tab on upper portion of the wiTECH window, then “HELP CONTENTS”. This will open the Welcome to wiTECH Help screen where help topics can be selected. 4. Verify there are no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) stored in the ELSD modules memory. Then, using the wiTECH, perform the “ELSD Quicklearn” procedure. 5. Once complete, verify there are no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) stored in the ELSD modules memory. 6. Clear any DTC's that may have been set in other modules due to reprogramming. The wiTECH application will automatically present all DTC’s after the flash and allow the tech to clear them. POLICY: Reimbursable within the provisions of the warranty.
