The transfer case motor is a bi-directional, permanent magnet, D.C. motor. When energized, through motor control A or motor control B, the ground is provided by the opposing motor control circuit and then grounded through the transfer case shift control module ground circuit. The motor, through a series of gears, rotates a shaft which moves the mode and range forks to shift the transfer case between the following ranges:
• | 2HI |
• | 4HI |
• | 4Low |
• | N |
• | Check the inline connector C105 for proper connection, bent pins, damage, or corrosion. Refer to Harness Routing Views in Wiring Systems. |
• | Check the transfer case shift control module connectors C1 and C2 for proper connection and bent or corroded pins or terminals. Refer to Repairing Connector Terminals in Wiring Systems. |
• | Check for water leaks at doors and bulkhead areas. Refer to Waterleak Test Preparation . |
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
This step checks the TCCM fuse for an open.
This step engages the motor control A and B circuits.
This step rechecks the TCCM fuse for an open.
This step determines if a short to ground in the motor control A or motor control B circuit is causing the TCCM fuse to open.
This step checks the motor winding for an internal short to ground.
This step checks the motor windings for high resistance.
This step tests the motor control A circuit for an open, or high resistance.
This step tests the motor control B circuit for an open, or high resistance.
This step tests the ignition 1 and battery positive circuits going to the transfer case shift control module for an open or high resistance.
This step tests the ground circuits going to the transfer case shift control module for an open or high resistance.
This step tests for motor control A and motor control B circuits being shorted together.
