Installation Procedure
- Install the motor/encoder to the transfer case.
- Install the motor/encoder gasket to the transfer case.
- Install motor/encoder mounting bolts to the transfer case.
- Install the motor/encoder electrical connector.
- Install the transfer case shield. Refer to Transfer Case Shield Replacement .

Important: When performing this service procedure, make sure that the motor/encoder unit is flat against the transfer case for proper installation.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten the motor/encoder mounting bolts to 20 N·m (15 lb ft).
