Important: When replacing the encoder rotary position sensor, follow steps 6-10. The rotary position sensor is circular with 3 contacts
on one side and is positioned behind the motor/encoder baseplate/gasket. The rotary position sensor replacement kit consists of a rotary
position sensor, baseplate/gasket, and detailed instruction sheet.
6. Position the motor on a work bench.
7. Release the 4 tabs that retain the motor/encoder plastic baseplate and remove the baseplate/gasket (1).
8. Discard the old baseplate/gasket, replacement baseplate/gasket provided in rotary position sensor kit.
Important: The motor/encoder rotary position sensor internal wires go to a connector within the motor housing. This internal wire
connector does not have a locking tab and is easily disturbed.
9. Gently lift the motor/encoder rotary position sensor (2) from the motor shaft.
Important: Look at the motor/encoder housing (1) where the rotary position sensor was removed from. Take note of the "Hex" in the
housing where the new sensor will seat when properly installed.
10. Disconnect the rotary position sensor (2) from the wiring harness.
Installation Procedure
Important: Provided the rotary position sensor was removed, follow steps 1-5 to install the sensor, otherwise proceed to step 6 installing
the motor/encoder to the transfer case.
1. Connect the wiring harness to the rotary position sensor.
2. Gently insert a suitable tool along side the internal wires and press down on the internal wire connector to ensure the connector is fully installed.
