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 for proper operation of the transfer case mode select switch.
  2. 3:  This step tests the mode switch for proper resistance values in all mode switch states.
  3. 4:  This step tests the switch signal wire for a short to ground, short to voltage, or high resistance

  1. With the switch disconnected, connect a DMM between the mode switch signal circuit and the 5 volt reference circuit at the switch.
  2. Measure the resistance through the mode switch while pressing and holding each of the mode buttons and comparing values.
Does the DMM indicate all resistance values within the specified ranges?		 Normal: 8,635-9,544 Ω
4 HI: 630-696 Ω
2 HI: 1,440-1,592 Ω
Neutral: 974-1,035 Ω
4 LO: 2,228-2,462 Ω		 Go to Step 4  Go to Step 5 
4  Test the switch signal and 5 volt reference circuits for a short to voltage, short to ground or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 7  Go to Step 6 
5 Replace the mode switch. Refer to Transfer Case Shift Control Switch Replacement .
Did you complete the repair?		 - Go to Step 7  -
6 Replace the transfer case shift control module. Refer to Transfer Case Shift Control Module Replacement  and Transfer Case Control Module Reprogramming .
Did you complete the repair?		 - Go to Step 7  -
