Removal Procedure
- Remove the transfer case shield, if equipped. Refer to Transfer Case Shield Replacement .
- Remove the front propeller shaft. Refer to Front Propeller Shaft Replacement in Propeller Shaft.
- Disconnect the encoder motor electrical connector (2).
- Remove the encoder motor bolts.
- Remove the encoder 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 shift 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.
- Apply a 3.175 mm (1/8 in) bead of sealant, GM P/N 12345739, (Canadian P/N 10953541), or equivalent to the sealing surface of the encoder motor.
- Install the encoder motor.
- Install encoder motor bolts.
- Connect the encoder motor electrical connector (2).
- Install the front propeller shaft. Refer to Front Propeller Shaft Replacement in Propeller Shaft.
- Install the transfer case shield, if equipped. Refer to Transfer Case Shield Replacement .
Rotate the shift detent lever to align to the encoder motor.
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 bolts to 10 N·m (89 lb in).
