Component Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Yukon XL, 2008 GMC Yukon, 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2008 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Turn the ignition of and check the motor windings for an internal short to ground inside the motor by probing either the motor A control pin and taking the other lead to ground, or the same can be done using motor B control pin. Motor control A is pin A and motor B control is pin D.
- If the DMM indicates and short to ground replace the transfer case actuator. If nothing is found continue to the next step.
- With a DMM check the resistance of the motor windings by probing pin A and pin D on the transfer case actuator.
- The DMM should indicate 0.3-40 ohms, if it does not replace the transfer case actuator and complete the motor learn procedure. If the actuator is within specifications then replace the transfer case control module, program, and complete the motor learn procedure.
