Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Scan Tool Data Definitions
- 2WD High Indicator Light
-
This parameter displays On when the transfer case shift control module commands the 2WD high indicator light On. The scan tool displays On or Off.
- 4WD High Indicator Light
-
This parameter displays On when the transfer case shift control module commands the 4WD high indicator light On. The scan tool displays On or Off.
- 4WD Low Indicator Light
-
This parameter displays On when the transfer case shift control module commands the 4WD low indicator light On. The scan tool displays On or Off.
- Accessory Status
-
This parameter displays Not Active, and Active.
- ATC Motor Init. Test
-
This parameter displays Not Initialized, Passed, Failed, or in Progress when the key off initialization sequence has occurred.
- Battery Voltage
-
This parameter displays the voltage measured by the transfer case shift control module at the transfer case shift control module battery feed. The scan tool displays a range of 0-25.5 volts.
- Front Axle Actuator
-
This parameter displays the voltage input to the front axle actuator from 0 - 25 volts.
- Front Axle Actuator Status
-
This parameter displays either disengaged or engaged, engaged when the system is in Auto 4WD, 4WD, or 4WD Low modes, and disengaged when the mode is in neutral, or 2WD mode.
- Front Axle Switch
-
This parameter displays either locked or unlocked depending on the feedback from the front axle actuator switch, which will be battery voltage when the vehicle is in a 4WD or Auto 4WD mode.
- Incremental Impulse Sensor
-
This parameter displays the direction the incremental sensor is moving as clockwise or counter clockwise.
- Incremental Position Sensor Direction
-
This parameter displays the pulse width modulated voltage signal being supplied to the incremental sensor via the transfer case control module.
- Incremental Position Sensor
-
This parameter displays the position of the incremental sensor in degrees.

-
This parameter displays the position of the incremental sensor in incremental sensor return voltage.
- Mode Switch Return Voltage
-
This parameter displays the transfer case shift control switch return voltage from 0-7.5 volts.
- Mode Switch Selected
-
This parameter displays the transfer case shift control switch mode currently selected by the driver.
- Mode Switch Selected
-
This parameter displays the voltage being supplied to the transfer case shift control switch by the transfer case control module from 0-7.5 volts.
- Neutral Indicator Light
-
This parameter displays On when the transfer case shift control module commands the neutral indicator light On. The scan tool displays On or Off.
- Run/Crank
-
This parameter displays the status of the run/crank signal to the transfer case control module as active or inactive.
- Transfer Case Motor
-

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
