Transfer Case Encoder Motor Replacement

Removal Procedure
1. Remove the transfer case shield, if equipped.
2. Remove the front propeller shaft.





3. Disconnect the encoder motor electrical connector.





4. Remove the encoder motor bolts.
5. Remove the encoder motor.
6. Remove the actuator insulator gasket.
7. If replacing the encoder motor, remove the locating pins from the old motor.

Installation Procedure

Important:
^ If the encoder motor is being replaced because it is defective, ensure that the transfer case is in the neutral position. Manually shift the unit at the shift shaft. Use a crescent wrench, if necessary.
^ If the encoder motor is being replaced, a new gasket will come with the encoder motor. DO NOT reuse the old gasket.
^ A NEW encoder motor does NOT come with locating pins.





1. Install the locating pins to the NEW encoder motor.
2. Position a NEW actuator insulator, gasket to the transfer case.
3. Install the encoder motor.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

4. Install encoder motor bolts.
Tighten the bolts, in the sequence shown, to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.).





5. Connect the encoder motor electrical connector. Ensure that the retention clips activate.
6. Install the front propeller shaft.
7. Install the transfer case shield, if equipped.
