1. Ignition on, engine not running.
2. Connect a 12-volt test light between the (T301) Switched Battery Solenoid Supply circuit and the (T317) Transfer Case Motor Lock Signal at the Transfer Case Shift Motor/Mode Sensor Assembly harness connector.
  NOTE:
  As a failsafe precaution when the Transfer Case Motor harness connectors are disconnected, the DTCs must be erased in the DTCM. Failure to follow this will result in the DTCM detecting this condition and turning OFF the Switched Battery Solenoid Supply circuit.
3. Using the scan tool, erase the DTCs.
4. With the scan tool, actuate the T-Case Motor Solenoid Lock in the DTCM.
  NOTE:
  Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.
  
  Does the test light illuminate brightly?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Transfer Case Shift Motor/Mode Sensor Assembly in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Replace the Drive Train Control Module (DTCM) in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the DTCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTCM VERIFICATION TEST .
INTERMITTENT WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTORS
1. The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.
2. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring harness and connectors.
3. Wiggle test the wiring harness and connectors while monitoring the scan tool data relative to this circuit.
4. Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.
5. While monitoring the scan tool data relative to this circuit, move the selector switch to each position several times.
6. Look for the data to change other than as expected or for the DTC to reset.
