Transfer Case Shift Control Switch Inoperative



Transfer Case Shift Control Switch Inoperative

Circuit Description

The range/mode switch circuit consists of the following 5 switches:

* 4HI
* 4HI Lock
* 4LO Lock
* Differential Lock
* Neutral

The transfer case shift control module supplies a regulated 5 volts, DC, to the switch through the 5 volt regulator circuit. The current travels through the resistor of the currently active switch. The switch then returns the current to the transfer case shift control module through the switch signal circuit.

The transfer case shift control module constantly monitors this signal voltage to determine the condition of the mode switch circuit.

When each switch is depressed, the switch will complete a circuit through the respective resistor. The transfer case shift control module continuously monitors the switch input to determine which of the following buttons is selected by the driver:

* 4HI
* 4HI Lock
* 4LO Lock
* Differential Lock

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2. This step tests the functionality of the mode switch.
3. This step tests the modules ability to operate the transfer case modes.
