The P1832 code on your Ford indicates an issue with the transfer case differential lock-up solenoid circuit, which is crucial for distributing power between the front and rear wheels. I’ve had this issue on my 2013 Ford Edge, and it caused some strange handling problems, especially when making turns. If you’ve been noticing a similar issue, the P1832 code is likely the culprit.
First, the transfer case is responsible for managing the torque between the front and rear axles. When the solenoid or the circuit that controls the differential lock-up malfunctions, you might experience handling issues or even feel like the car is dragging while turning.
The first thing to check is the wiring around the transfer case. Inspect the connectors for corrosion or loose connections, as these can often be the cause. Clean or secure the wiring if necessary. If the wiring seems fine, the next step is to test the solenoid itself using a multimeter to check for continuity. If the solenoid isn’t functioning properly, it will need to be replaced.
In some cases, the issue might stem from a faulty transfer case control module, which is responsible for controlling the solenoid. If you’ve exhausted the wiring and solenoid checks, you may need to test or replace the control module.
Once you’ve made the necessary repairs, clear the code with an OBD-II scanner and test drive the car to ensure the handling issues have been resolved. If the code returns, you might need to take a deeper look into the transfer case’s mechanical components or seek professional assistance.
