    • Disconnect all TCCM connectors.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect all TCCM connectors and make sure they are seated correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL a new TCCM. REFER to TRANSFER CASE CONTROL MODULE (TCCM) . TEST the system for normal operation. REPEAT the self-test.
