Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Envoy XUV, 2004 GMC Envoy XL, 2004 GMC Envoy, and 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. 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 looks for the visual operation of the neutral indicator. Command both the ON and OFF states.
  2. 3:  This step tests for voltage at the neutral indicator feed side of the transfer case select switch.
  3. 4:  This step verifies that the transfer case shift control module is providing ground to the neutral indicator.
  4. 5:  This step tests if ground is constantly being applied to the neutral indicator.
  5. 6:  This step tests the control circuit of the neutral indicator for a short to voltage or an open.
  6. 7:  This step tests the control circuit of the neutral indicator for a short to ground.

Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 13  Go to Step 9 
8 Inspect for poor connections at the transfer case select switch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 13  Go to Step 11 
9 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the transfer case shift control module. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 13  Go to Step 12 
10 Repair the ignition 3 voltage circuit of the transfer case select switch for an open, high resistance or short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you complete the repair?		 Go to Step 13  -
11 Replace the transfer case select switch. Refer to Transfer Case Shift Control Switch Replacement (GMC, Buick)  or Transfer Case Shift Control Switch Replacement (Chevrolet)  .
