Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Hummer H2. 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 determines if 2 or more of the 5 volts encoder signal circuits are shorted together.
  2. 3:  This step checks for proper voltage on the 4 encoder signal circuits.
  3. 4:  This step tests for a short to voltage, open, or high resistance on the encoder low reference circuit.
  4. 5:  This step determines which encoder signal circuits are shorted together.
  5. 6:  This step determines if any of the encoder signal circuits have an open, or high resistance condition.
  6. 7:  This step determines if a binding shift detent lever shaft is causing the DTC.

1 Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? - Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle
2 
  1. Set the parking brake.
  2. Raise the vehicle on a hoist. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle .
  3. Disconnect the connector at the transfer case.
  4. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF.
  5. Install a scan tool.
  6. While monitoring the encoder channels on the scan tool, short to ground each of the encoder channel circuits on the module side of the harness with a jumper wire.
Do more than one of the four encoder channels indicate OFF when each encoder channel circuit is individually shorted to ground?		 - Go to Step 5  Go to Step 3 
3  Using a DMM at the transfer case connector, test the encoder signal circuits on the module side of the harness.
Are the voltages within the specified range?		 4.3-4.7 V Go to Step 4  Go to Step 6 
4  With the ignition in the OFF position, test the encoder low reference circuit for a short to ground, short to voltage, open, or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 11  Go to Step 7 
5 
  1. Disconnect C1 and C2 from the transfer case shift control module.
  2. Using a DMM, check for 2 or more encoder signal circuits being shorted together. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 11  Go to Step 10 
6  Test the suspect circuits for a short to ground, short to voltage, open, or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 11  Go to Step 10 
7 
  1. Remove the encoder motor.
  2. Inspect the shift detent lever shaft for a binding condition. Refer to Transfer Case Motor/Encoder Replacement .
Did the shift detent lever shaft bind?		 - Go to Step 8  Go to Step 9 
8 Remove the transfer case for disassembly and repair. Refer to Transfer Case Disassemble .
Did you complete the repair?		 - Go to Step 11  -
9 Replace the encoder motor. Refer to Transfer Case Motor/Encoder Replacement .
Did you complete the repair?		 - Go to Step 11  -
10 Replace the transfer case shift control module. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup and programming.
Did you complete the repair?		 - Go to Step 11  -
11
  1. Use the scan tool in order to clear the DTCs.
  2. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC as specified in the supporting text.
Does the DTC set?		 - Go to Step 1  System OK
