Service 4 wheel drive ...message

[2-H2's]

I've had my truck in for mods lately & went to pick it up today. The message wasn't there a month ago when I took it in? The vehicle is an '05 SUT, just installed the FabTech lift, two Gobi's, 6 Pia's, dual battery setup, along with new tires & wheels.

I took the truck to the stealership earlier today;

First comment was, "this truck has been recently modified"...No shiat!!!

Second comment was, "no warranty"

My response was; "get Hummer on the telephone, so we can settle this, NOW!!!"

They backed off slightly & decided to look at it. Their first diagnosis was a faulty encoder motor. They replaced it & the message was still present. So now I have an appointment on Monday to bring it back in...Until then…

I pose my question for the gods, messiahs & hummer techs on this forum. Any ideas as to what might be causing this message???

It should be warranty item, unless they can say with some certainty that your mods may have caused the problem. Which they obviously can't because they don't know what it is yet.

I presume that the lift installers checked to make sure they had not disconnected anything?

The t-case controls the Service 4WD light I believe. Assuming they are using a scan tool and it shows no DTC's for the t-case, then they should command the service light to go off and if it goes off, then replace the transfer case shift control module. If the service light does not go off, they should check the instrument cluster for faults. Once they have replaced the module, they should see if they can get the serive light to come back on, try all modes, etc. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Phil, isn't this one of those instance whereby if the dealer did all those work, and finally tracked the problem down, and it turns out the problem was caused by the guys did the lift install -- then 2-H2's would be responsible for all costs dealer has incurred?

Well, I would try to look it up to see what they could glean from the Tech2 but I've got to reinstall my Si software once again. tomorrow

[MarineHawk]

Doubt you have the same problem, but my Sierra had the same basic DIC message appear, and it would not transfer out of 2WD-Hi to either of the 4WD settings. I disconnected my battery for a couple of minutes and reconnected it. It worked fine and never happened again.

[2-H2's]

Now that I have calmed down...

I seriously doubt the installers did anything other than lift the truck. They may or may not have bumped into or disconnected something which caused this message.

However, after further review this morning I tried to engage the four wheel drive elements and no workie... That alone makes me assume that something internally or computer controlled is malfunctioning. I seriously doubt it had anything to do with the mods.

MH I have already disconnected the battery during the dual setup & again last night.

PhilD Thanks for the vote of confidence...

H2Finally I understand your logic...but a truck with 3.5K miles on it???

I certainly hope Hummer can solve the problem & resolve the issue. So far only Hummer has taken the "it ain't our problem approach". That's just shiatty in my book to immediately void a warranty. I just want it fixed, then we can remedy the who's fault it is.

Side note*** The installer doesn't have a problem repairing or paying for any of his faults. He had already taken it to another GM dealer prior to my arrival & they couldn't figure out what was causing the message. He is the one who wanted it taken to an authorized "hummer" dealer to figure this all out.

All I can do now is what until Monday...

<H1>DTC C0327</H1><A name=ss1-853460><A href="#ss1-853460">
<H5>Circuit Description</A></H5>


The transfer case shift control module has four encoder channels, P, C, A,
and B, which are supplied 5volts each. The four encoder channels each run
to a switch located inside the encoder/motor assembly. When a particular encoder
channel is active the switch is closed and 5volts flows through the
encoder signal return circuit. If the module wants to request motor position a
low side driver pulls the voltage low on the encoder signal return and the
corresponding channel circuit indicating motor position.</P>


The transfer case shift control module supplies 5volts on all encoder
channels, thus as these channels are pulled to ground, the module can interpret
the location of the transfer case shift position.</P>

<H1>DTC C0329</H1><A name=ss1-857757><A href="#ss1-857757">
<H5>Circuit Description</A></H5>


The transfer case shift control module has four encoder channels coming out
of it which are all supplied 5volts. These four channels are P, C, A, and
B, each running to a switch located inside the encoder/motor assembly. When a
particular encoder channel is active, the switch is closed and 5volts
flows through the encoder signal return circuit. If the module wants to request
motor position, a low side driver pulls the voltage low on the encoder signal
return and the corresponding channel circuit indicating motor position.</P>


The transfer case shift control module supplies 5volts on all the
channels As these channels are pulled to ground, the module can interpret the
location of the transfer case shift position.</P>


This DTC detects a short to ground in the encoder signal return circuit, or a
short to ground in the encoder channel circuits.</P><A name=ss2-857757><A

href="#ss3-857757">
<H5>Conditions for Setting the DTC</A></H5>


The transfer case shift control module can command the low side driver on the
encoder signal return circuit not to pull the signal low. The module can then
read the voltage on each of the encoder channel circuits. If the voltage is low
a short to ground is indicated and the DTC is logged.</P><A name=ss4-857757><A

a shift is requested.
<LI>If a shift is not being requested the DTC will go to history.
<LI>If a new mode is requested while the DTC is present either current or

information for repairing FT4WD system malfunctions. For best results, use the
diagnostic tables, and follow the sequence listed below:</P>

<LI type=1>Perform the Transfer Case Diagnostic System Check. All FT4WD
diagnostics must begin with the Transfer Case Diagnostic System Check. The
Transfer Case Diagnostic System Check determines the following:
<UL type=BULLET>
<LI>Proper SERVICE 4WD indicator operation.
<LI>Ability of the transfer case shift control module to communicate through the
data link connector (DLC)
<LI>Existence of FT4WD DTCs </LI>
<LI type=1>Refer to the diagnostic table as directed by the Transfer Case
Diagnostic System Check. The diagnostic tables will help enable you to diagnose
any FT4WD system malfunction. Bypassing these procedures may result in the
following:

Your best bet would be to buy an OBD II code reader available at most auto parts stores, then you could post the code here and there are several members with full access to the si service manuals including me. SI is not readily available to the public but A paper service manual could be obtained from the dealer but if I remember they are quite pricy.

Looks like it's a "Hummer" problem & not a mod issue...

I'm still at the dealer, should know more in another hour. I'm very impressed with the professionalism I have received today.

It appears that a ground wire had worked itself loose under the steering wheel. There are three plugs in a cluster, the center one was the one causing the headaches. Once the wire was attached properly & the computer reset...walla...four wheel driving again!!!

I'll have to say the dealer was very courteous today & handled everything to my satisfaction. And yes it was covered under the warranty. Yee-Haw

LC That would be the Transfer Case Shift Control Module. 3 plugs going into it and a very good place to check if you get the dreaded <STRIKE>4wd</STRIKE> light

It appears that a ground wire had worked itself loose under the steering wheel. There are three plugs in a cluster, the center one was the one causing the headaches. Once the wire was attached properly & the computer reset...walla...four wheel driving again!!!

I'll have to say the dealer was very courteous today & handled everything to my satisfaction. And yes it was covered under the warranty. Yee-Haw

LC That would be the Transfer Case Shift Control Module. 3 plugs going into it and a very good place to check if you get the dreaded <STRIKE>4wd</STRIKE> light </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I don't feel so stupid about not finding it now. It only took the technician from 9:15 AM until 1:00 PM with all of his manuals & computer help.

Damn & now I've missed out on the immagration thingy downtown... http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

LC Now we all know of a place to go wiggle some wires first if it happens again. Of course, I would just press F5 to fix mine. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

And who's Alec? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
