Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Service 4WD light illuminated with inoperative 4WD operation
• Transfer case not shifting into 2HI, 4HI, or 4LO as commanded
• Weak or inconsistent motor movement during shift attempts
• Failure caused by worn internal sensors or weakened magnets
• Noise or rough operation from a failing transfer case shift motor

Installation Notes

Before installation, manually shift the transfer case into the 2-wheel-drive position. The replacement motor drive is factory-set in the 2WD position, and the transfer case must match that position before the motor is installed. Do not operate the motor off the transfer case, or an error code can be set and the motor may be damaged. If the transfer case is not in the correct position, use the proper manual shifting procedure or tool for the vehicle before mounting the new unit.

For diagnosis, check for trouble codes and calibration updates if the 4WD system remains inoperative. If the motor tries to shift but sounds weak, inspect the front axle lock actuator as well.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone 48-113 transfer case motor is computer tested at three stages during remanufacturing to verify operation. The unit is remanufactured to meet or exceed original equipment performance, with corrected design weaknesses, replaced sensors, recharged magnets, and controlled lubrication for dependable service.
