Removal Procedure
- Remove the transfer case shield. Refer to
Transfer Case Shield Replacement.
- Disconnect the encoder motor electrical connector.
- Remove the encoder motor bolts.
- Remove the encoder motor.
- Remove the actuator insulator.
Installation Procedure
Note:
• | 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 RTV sealant GM P/N 12345739 (Canadian P/N 10953541) or equivalent to the sealing surface of the encoder motor.
- Rotate to align the shift detent lever with the encoder motor assembly and install the encoder motor.
Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution in the Preface section.
- Loosely install the encoder motor mounting bolts.
- Loosely install the encoder motor bracket bolt.
Tighten
Tighten the Encoder motor mounting bolts and the bracket bolt to 10 N·m (89 lb in).
- Connect the encoder motor electrical connector.
- Install the transfer case shield. Refer to
Transfer Case Shield Replacement.
