Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Sierra, 2004 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2004 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2004 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. 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 test 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

    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 two 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?		 0.3-35 Ω Go to Step 5  Go to Step 6
