Motor Encoder Replacement

REMOVAL PROCEDURE





1. Remove the transfer case shield. Refer to Shield Replacement.
2. Remove the transfer case wiring harness connectors from the motor/encoder.
3. Remove the bolts that secure the motor/encoder to the transfer case.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE





1. Position the motor/encoder to the transfer case.
Any encoder/motor bolts that are worn or broken must be replaced with the correct G/M replacement bolts. A steel bolt will cause accelerated corrosion that will destroy the integrity of the magnesium case.
2. Install the bolts securing the motor/encoder to the transfer case.
^ Tighten the motor/encoder bolts to 37 Nm (27 ft. lbs.).
- Remove all gasket material remaining from the motor/encoder.
- Ensure the motor/encoder aligns properly with the transfer case interior shifting components.
- Align the motor/encoder mating surface detent with the transfer case mating surface detent.

NOTICE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

IMPORTANT: Do not use steel bolts to secure the encoder/motor to the transfer case.

3. Install the wiring harness connector to the motor/encoder.
4. Install the transfer case shield.
