Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Diagnostic Aids
If one output is faulty the PCM will shut down only the QDM output and not the entire quad driver, unless the quad driver reaches its thermal limit (short to voltage). At this time it will turn all 4 quad driver outputs off. When the quad driver cools down it will turn back on and this process will start over. Check related fuses in the passenger compartment fuse block. Check relay resistance. Resistance should be 70-90 ohms. A shorted or open relay or bulb can cause DTC to set. Check for terminal tightness in harness connectors.
