When to use transfer case shift control module?

When to use transfer case shift control module?

If no buttons are pressed, and the transfer case shift control module detects a voltage level outside the possible range (approx. 0.5-1.0 volts) for longer than 5 minutes, the transfer case shift control module will set this DTC if a button is held down or sticks for a period longer than 5 min- utes.

How does a 4 wheel drive transfer case work?

It is powered by the transmission output shaft and operates much like a secondary transmission. Most 4WD transfer cases have four modes of operation: two-high, neutral, four-low, and four-high. Because the driver only engages the 4WD when needed, this type of system is called “part-time” four-wheel drive.

What is mode control on GM transfer case?

The dash buttons to the right of the air vent identify this system as an NVG 246 automatic two-speed, which means it has DTCs and scan tool capabilities. mode control is a set of normally open switches that vary the voltage supplied by the transfer case module when closed.

Why does my car shift from 2WD to 4 high?

If the gearshift shows 2WD and the vehicle is in 4 high, the most likely fault is either the transfer case shift linkage is faulty, or that the transfer case has an internal failure. The transfer case linkage is much more common.

Can a transfer case be changed in a 4WD truck?

The entire motor can be replaced, or just the less expensive encoder inside can be changed. The transfer case encoder motor moves the transfer case selector automatically. In Auto 4WD, it continually moves the input shaft of the transfer case to vary the amount of torque that goes to the front driveshaft.

Why is my Silverado transfer case not shifting?

Switches fail quite often on these trucks. They also can place the transfer case into neutral for flat towing by pressing 2 buttons together. Maybe the switch has failed and is commanding the t-case into neutral thus not setting any codes. The t-case thinks you want neutral. They are cheap and easy to replace.

What does it mean when your truck says service 4WD?

If the “SERVICE 4WD” message is lit as soon as you start the vehicle, that probably indicates a constant wiring or part fault and the Transfer Case Control Module is noticing that fault as soon as it is energized when the truck is turned on.

Can a 4WD system be operated on reduced traction?

A part-time 4WD system is designed to be operated only on reduced-traction surfaces. The transfer case lacks any mechanism to allow front-to-rear axle speed differentiation. Thus, any accumulated driveline bind must be released via tire scrub.
