The two-body open charm decays $Z^+(4430)\to D^{+}\bar{D}^{*0}, D^{*+}\bar{D}^{0}, D^{*+}\bar{D}^{*0}$ occur through the re-scattering mechanism and their branching ratios are strongly suppressed if $Z^+(4430)$ is a $D_1\bar D^*$ molecular state. In contrast, $Z^+(4430)$ falls apart into these modes easily with large phase space and they become the main decay modes if $Z^+(4430)$ is a tetraquark state. Experimental search of these two-body open charm modes and the hidden charm mode $\chi_{cJ}\rho$ will help distinguish different theoretical schemes.
