Special Tools
* EL-49741 - 9 V+ Power Source Harness
* EL-49742 - Battery Voltage B+ and Ground Source Harness
* J 35616 - GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
Circuit/System Verification
1. Key ON, engine OFF.
2. Connect a scan tool.
3. Parking brake engaged. Transmission in Neutral.
4. Using the Transfer Case Lock function of the Special Function feature of the scan tool, command the transfer case lock ON and OFF. You
should be able to hear the encoder motor lock engage and disengage.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Verify that the TREC fuse, and the Miscellaneous IGN fuse, underhood fuse block, are not open.
锟斤拷If the TREC fuse is open, test the battery positive voltage, TCCM harness X3 pin C, for a short to ground.
锟斤拷If the Miscellaneous IGN fuse is open, test the Ignition 1 voltage circuit, TCCM harness X2 pin 6, for a short to ground.
2. Ignition ON, engine OFF.
3. Disconnect the X1 harness connector at the transfer case encoder motor (TCEM).
Note: When test probing harness terminals, it is imperative to use the proper test probe from the most current version of the J 35616 - Kit.
Use of an improper test probe may deform the terminal, resulting in intermittent open conditions.
4. Using the PU probes J 35616-4A, test for B+ (+0.0/-1.0 V) between the battery positive voltage circuit, TCEM harness X1 pin B, and a good
ground.
锟斤拷If the voltage is less than the specified range, test the affected circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground condition. If all
circuits and connections test normal, test the TCCM.
5. Using the PU probe J 35616-4A, test for a 4.0-5.0 V diagnostic voltage between the lock solenoid control circuit, TCEM X1 pin C, and a
good ground.
锟斤拷If the voltage is greater than the specified range, test the affected circuit for a short to voltage. If all circuits and connections test normal,
test the TCCM.
锟斤拷If the voltage is less than the specified range, test the affected circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If all circuits and
connections test normal, test the TCCM.
6. Test the TCEM.
Component Testing
Transfer Case Encoder Motor (TCEM) - Actuator Lock, Motor A and Motor B
1. Remove the encoder motor from transfer case. Using a paint pen or marker, place indexing marks on the encoder motor drive gear and the
mounting surface of the encoder motor.
2. Install EL-49742 - harness.
3. Using a PU probe J-35616-5, attach the red lead from the EL-49742 - jumper harness to the motor control A terminal of the TCEM, pin A.
4. Using a PU probe J-35616-5, touch the black lead from this same jumper harness to the motor control B terminal of the TCEM, pin D. The
encoder motor drive gear should not rotate.
锟斤拷If the encoder motor rotates, replace the encoder motor.
5. Using a PU probe J-35616-5, attach the red lead from the EL-49741 - harness to the battery positive voltage terminal of the TCEM harness,
pin B.
6. Using a PU probe J-35616-5, attach the black lead from this same jumper harness to the lock solenoid control terminal of the TCEM harness,
pin C.
7. Attach a 9-volt battery to this harness (not included). You should hear the encoder motor unlock.
锟斤拷If you do not hear the TCEM unlock, test the affected circuits of the TCEM harness for an open/high resistance, short to ground or short
together. If all circuits and connections test normal, replace the TCEM.
8. Touch the black lead from EL-49742 - jumper harness to the motor control B terminal of the TCEM, pin D. The encoder motor drive gear
should rotate.
锟斤拷If the encoder motor drive gear does not rotate, replace the encoder motor.
