4WD/AWD Clutch A Position Sensor Circuit High

Where it lives

For C05E3, the circuit described runs through the sensor. The description of C05E3 reports a fault at the sensor.

Check these first

• A short to voltage in the 4WD/AWD clutch A position sensor signal wire
• A failed clutch A position sensor reading high
• An open ground in the position sensor circuit
• A chafed harness shorting the position sensor signal to power
• Water in the position sensor connector bridging the signal

What to do next

1. Check the clutch A position sensor connector for water or damage
2. Test the sensor signal wire for a short to voltage
3. Check the sensor ground for an open
4. Watch the clutch A position live data through its travel
5. Replace the clutch A position sensor if the signal stays high
6. Clear the code and retest
