Transfer Case Encoder Motor Replacement



Transfer Case Encoder Motor Replacement

Shifting into Neutral

Important: For ease of reassembly, if possible shift the transfer case to Neutral prior to removing any components.

1. Make sure the vehicle is parked so that it will not roll and set the parking brake.
2. Start the vehicle or turn the ignition to RUN.
3. Put the transmission in NEUTRAL (N).
4. Shift the transfer case to Two-Wheel High.
5. Simultaneously press and hold the Two-Wheel High and Four-Wheel Low buttons for 10 seconds. The NEUTRAL light will come on when the transfer case shift to NEUTRAL is complete.
6. Turn the ignition to ACCESSORY, which will turn the engine off.
7. Place the transmission shift lever in PARK (P).
8. Turn the ignition to LOCK.

Removal Procedure




1. Remove the transfer case shield, if equipped. Refer to Transfer Case Shield Replacement.
2. Remove the front propeller shaft.
3. Disconnect the transfer case switch electrical connector (2).
4. Disconnect the encoder motor electrical connector (7).




5. Remove the encoder motor bolts.
6. Remove the encoder motor.
7. Remove the actuator insulator gasket.
8. If replacing the encoder motor, remove the locating pins from the old motor.

Installation Procedure

Important:
^ If the encoder motor is being replaced, ensure that the transfer case is in the neutral position. Manually shift the transfer case at the actuator lever shaft, using a crescent wrench if necessary.

^ When installing the encoder motor, ensure that the encoder motor is indexed correctly and the motor is flat against the transfer case before tightening the bolts.

^ A NEW encoder motor does NOT come with locating pins.




1. Install the locating pins to the NEW encoder motor.
2. Position a NEW actuator insulator gasket to the transfer case.
3. Install the encoder motor.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice.

4. Install encoder motor bolts.

Tighten the bolts, in the sequence shown, to 20 N.m (15 lb ft).




5. Connect the encoder motor electrical connector (7).
6. Connect the transfer case switch electrical connector (2).
7. Install the front propeller shaft.
8. Install the transfer case shield, if equipped.

Shifting Out of Neutral

1. Set the parking brake and apply the regular brake pedal.
2. Shift the transmission to NEUTRAL (N) and turn the ignition to RUN with the engine off.
3. Press the button for the desired transfer case shift position (Two-Wheel High, Four-Wheel High, AUTO 4WD, or Four-Wheel Low). After the transfer case has shifted out of NEUTRAL the NEUTRAL light will go out.
4. Release the parking brake.
