Transfer Case Actuator: Description and Operation
Transfer Case - NV233 - M/T
ASSEMBLY - TRANSFER CASE SHIFT MOTOR/MODE SENSOR <NV233>
DESCRIPTION
The shift motor (1) is an electromechanical device consisting of a DC permanent magnet motor, gear train, and an analog position sensor. The shift
motors overall function is to move and lock a gear that moves the mode and range forks found in the transfer case. This allows the transfer case to be
shifted electrically to multiple operating positions (4HI, 2WD, N (neutral), and 4LO). The operating current of the shift motor under stall conditions is
30 amps maximum at 72°F with 13.5 volts, at the motor leads.
OPERATION
Shifting in the transfer case occurs when a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) voltage is supplied to the shift motor by the Front Control Module (FCM).
A linear analog position sensor located inside the shift motor, provides the FCM with the motors angular,
