SENSOR-MODE
DESCRIPTION
The transfer case mode sensor is an electronic device whose output can be interpreted to indicate the shift motor
shaft’s rotary position. The sensor consists of a magnetic ring and four Hall Effect Transistors to create a 4 channel
digital device (non-contacting) whose output converts the motor shaft position into a coded signal. The TCCM must
supply 5VDC (+/- 0.5v) to the sensor and monitor the shift motor position. The four channels are denoted A, B, C,
and D. The sensor is mechanically linked to the shaft of the cam which causesthe transfer case shifting. The mode
sensor draws less than 53 mA.
OPERATION
During normal vehicle operation, the Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM)monitors the mode sensor outputs at
least every 250 (+/-50) milliseconds when the shift motor is stationary and 400 microseconds when the shift motor
is active. A mode sensor signal between 3.8 Volts and 0.8 Volts is considered to be undefined.
Refer to SECTOR ANGLES vs. TRANSFER CASE POSITION for the relative angles of the transfer case shift sector
versus the interpreted transfer case gear operating mode. Refer to MODE SENSOR CHANNEL STATES for the
sensor codes returned to the TCCM for each transfer case mode sensor position. The various between gears posi-
tions can also be referred as the transfer case’s coarse position. These coarse positions come into play during shift
attempts.

SWITCH-TRANSFER CASE SELECTOR
DESCRIPTION
The selector switch assembly is mounted in the left side of the vehicle’s Instrument Panel (IP) and consists of a
rotary knob connected to a resistive network for the mode and range shift selections. Also located in this assembly
is a recessed, normally open momentary switch for making shifts into and out of transfer case NEUTRAL. A pen, or
similar instrument, is used to make a NEUTRAL shift selection, thus reducing the likelihood of an inadvertent shift
request.
The selector switch also contains light emitting diode’s (LED’s) to indicate the transfer case position and whether a
shift is in progress.
OPERATION
As the position of the selector switchvaries, the resistance between the Mode Sensor supply voltage pin and the
Mode Sensor output will vary. Hardware, software, and calibrations within the Transfer Case Control Module
(TCCM) are provided that interpret the selector switch resistance as giveninthetablebelow:SELECTORSWITCH
INTERPRETATION
SELECTOR SWITCH INTERPRETATION
Step Resistance Range (ohms) Required Interpretation
A <200 Shorted
B 400-700 NEUTRAL
C 1050-1450 4LO
D 1850-2300 4H
E 3050-5950 AWD (Default)
F 9.5-12.5K In between positions
G>15.5KOpen
For resistances between the ranges B-E shown for each valid position (T-Case NEUTRAL, 4LO, 4HI, AWD), the
TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
either of the neighboring valid positions.
as an invalid fault position.
For resistances between the ranges E and F shown for AWD and in-between positions, the TCCM may interpret the
resistance as:
the AWD position.
an invalid fault position.
a valid in-between position.
For resistances between the ranges F and G shown for in-between positions and fault condition (open), the TCCM
may interpret the resistance as:
a valid in-between position.
an invalid fault position.
For resistances between the ranges A and B shown for the fault condition (short) and , T-Case NEUTRAL, the
TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
the T-Case NEUTRAL position.
an invalid fault position.
The LED’s in the selector assembly are illuminated/flashed in the following manner to indicate a particular condition
or state.
A solidly illuminated LED indicates asuccessfully completed shift and the current operating mode of the trans-
fer case. While a shift has been requested but not yet completed, the LED forthe desired transfer case posi-
tion is flashed.
A flashing operating mode LED for the desired gear indicates that a shift tothat position has been requested,
but all of the driver controllable conditions have not been met. This is in an attempt to notify the driver that the
transmission needs to be put into NEUTRAL, the vehicle speed is too great, or some other condition outlined

MOTOR-SHIFT
DESCRIPTION
The shift motor (1) consists of a permanent magnet
D.C. motor with gear reduction to convert a high
speed-low torque device into a low speed-high torque
device. The output of the device is coupled to a shaft
which internally moves the mode and range forks that
change the transfer case operating ranges. The motor
is rated at 25 amps maximum at (23° C (72° F) with
10 volts at the motor leads.
OPERATION
The transfer case shift motor responds to the Transfer Case Control Module(TCCM) commands to move the trans-
fer case shift sector bi-directionally, as required, to obtain the transfer case operating mode indicated by the instru-
ment panel mounted selector switch.
REMOVAL
NOTE: New shift motor assemblies are shipped in the 2WD/AWD position. If a new shift motor assembly will
be installed, it will be necessary to shift the transfer case to the 2WD/AWDposition prior to motor removal.
1. Raise the vehicle on a suitable hoist.
2. Disengage the wiring connectors from the shift motor and mode sensor.
3. Remove the bolts holding the shift motor and mode sensor assembly onto the transfer case.
4. Separate the shift motor and mode sensor assembly from the transfer case.
INSTALLATION
1. Verify that the shift sector o-ring is clean and properly positioned over the shift sector and against the transfer
case.
NOTE: Verify that the shift motor position and sector shaft orientation are aligned. It may be necessary to
manually shift the transfer case if the shift motor and sector shaft are notaligned.
2. Position the shift motor and mode sensor assembly onto the transfer case.
3. Install the bolts to hold the assembly onto the transfer case. Tighten the bolts to 16-24 Nꞏm (12-18 ft.lbs.).
CAUTION: If the original shift motor and mode sensor assembly bolts are reused, be sure to use Mopar
Lock & Seal or Loctite™ 242 to replenish the lock patch material originallyfound on the bolts
4. Engage the wiring connectors to the shift motor and mode sensor.
5. Refill the transfer case as necessary.
