Transfer Case Encoder Motor Replacement

Transfer Case Encoder Motor Replacement

Removal Procedure





1. Remove the transfer case shield. Refer to Transfer Case Shield Replacement.
2. Remove the front propeller shaft. Refer to Front Propeller Shaft Replacement.
3. Disconnect the transfer case switch electrical connector (2).
4. Disconnect the encoder motor electrical connector (7).





5. Remove the encoder motor bolts.
6. Remove the encoder motor.
7. Remove the actuator insulator gasket.
8. 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 transfer case at the shift shaft, using a crescent wrench if necessary.
^ When installing the encoder motor, ensure that the encoder motor is indexed correctly and the motor is flat against the transfer case before tightening the bolts.
^ 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.

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 (7).
6. Connect the transfer case switch electrical connector (2).
7. Install the front propeller shaft. Refer to Front Propeller Shaft Replacement.
8. Install the transfer case shield. Refer to Transfer Case Shield Replacement.
