Electronic transfer case stops shifting with no DTC: shift abuse lock out mode
1Fault
- The electronic transfer case may stop shifting and not set any DTCs.
2Finding the cause
Possible causes
- This occurs if the transfer case control module senses repeated shift requests in a short period of time.
- The transfer case control module software has a shift abuse lock out mode to protect the module and the encoder motor.
- If the driver shifts into and out of different modes continuously, the module stops trying to shift for several seconds to prevent abuse damage.
3Correction
Repair
- Cycling the ignition off for 30 seconds or more should allow the transfer case to resume normal operation.
