You can use you display to do a service check and it will run trouble codes through a series of blinking lights you can test the hole system also thier is a seperate screen on the dash pod that will test voltages.Read your owners manual it will tell you how to run the tests through your dash pod not tools needed.

Trophytaker75,

Have you used the POD diags, to fix this problem before or know of someone who has? FYI, I am still running my OEM battery, I haven't had any issues but if I am going to use the self diags then WHAT IF my juice isn't up to par? Could that then give me a FALSE-POSITIVE (to use that term) on low volt/ohms reading?

Please advise, thanks for the support!

R'

The wires have a plug just below the pod under the front cover. Check the side with the switch for 12v and the diff side for ohms.

The front wheels won't kick in until the rear tires slip about 1/8 turn! Just jack up front and back with tires off the ground, crank it up in awd mode,place in gear and see if front wheels turn. If not, could be an electrical connection problem,if only one wheel turns,then could be a hub problem,hilliard or armature plate,low or no hub fluid,etc. OPT
