“ …experience a transfer case actuator encoder electrical failure that results in unintentional transfer case shifting into or through the neutral position, which may result in vehicle rollaway…"


Ok, so the way I was seeing this as our transfer cases have 3 “positions” Hi, Low and Neutral.

For me to select neutral I have to :

1. Key ON, engine off.
2. Vehicle stopped, with foot on brake.
3. Place the transmission into NEUTRAL.
4. Hold down the NEUTRAL “pin” switch (with a pen,
etc.) for four seconds until the LED light by the switch
starts to blink indicating shift in progress. The light will
stop blinking (stay on solid) when the NEUTRAL shift is
complete.A“4WD SYSTEM IN NEUTRAL” message will display

“ This range disengages both the front and rear driveshafts
from the powertrain. “

The way I understood it, the “crack”, bypassed all the steps we have to perform to get the transfer case into neutral.

Is that the way you see it ???
