Sounds like you guys may have a slightly different problem.

Keep in mind, it takes a special reader to be able to see trouble codes from the transfer case control module and possibly the transmission control module as well.

As a side note, I can still shift the transfer case and use 4wd if I get into a pinch. I removed the shift motor leave it off most of the time. I can then climb under the truck and rotate the shaft with a cressent wrench. Takes a little playing around to figure out which position is which but it works.

quite possibly, i think my issue is simply a engagement light deal , with the manual shift lever in my '07 the transfer case has always shifted in and out fine, light just doesnt always work..which i believe is the "switch" on top of the transfer case, so maybe we are talking apples and oranges with manual shift and electric shift ??
