Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 GMC Yukon XL, 2005 GMC Yukon, 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2005 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  This step tests the battery positive and ground circuits for poor connections.
  2. 3:  This step tests the encoder motor for an internal short to ground.
  3. 4:  This step helps isolate motor malfunctions from the transfer case shift control module and wiring.
  4. 5:  This step tests for an open, high resistance, short to ground or short to voltage.

IMPORTANT: Use test leads designed for this connector and make firm contact with the leads.
  1. Turn off the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the encoder motor.
  3. With a DMM at the encoder motor pigtail connector, test motor control A and motor control B for a short to ground within the encoder motor.
Is motor control A or motor control B shorted to ground?		 - Go to Step 6  Go to Step 4 
4 
    IMPORTANT: Use test leads designed for this connector and make firm contact with the leads.
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the encoder motor connector.
  3. Zero the DMM with ohms selected by touching the 2 leads.
  4. Connect the DMM between motor control A terminal and motor control B terminal and test the resistance in the encoder motor.
Is the motor/encoder within the specified values?		 0.5-35 Ω Go to Step 5  Go to Step 6

  1. Disconnect the transfer case shift control module connectors C1 and C2.
  2. Test the motor A and motor B control circuits for a short to ground, a short to voltage, an open, or a high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 8  Go to Step 7 
6 Replace the encoder motor. Refer to Transfer Case Encoder Motor Replacement .
Did you complete the repair?		 - Go to Step 8  -
7 Replace the transfer case shift control module. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming.
Did you complete the repair?		 - Go to Step 8  -
