Four wheel drive stuck in neutral. Won't go into 2high or back to 4 wheel drive. Transfer case was replaced. Its a 2000 Jimmy.

I guess you probably don't know what transfer case you have ?

The NVG 246 EAU provides 5 modes, Auto 4WD, 4HI, 4LO, 2HI and Neutral.
The four manual mode, or range gear positions, of the NVG 261 transfer case are:
?€¢
2HI - 2 wheel drive high range

?€¢
4HI - 4 wheel drive high range, part-time

?€¢
4LO - 4 wheel drive low range, 2.72:1 gear ratio reduction

?€¢
N - Neutral, 4 wheel

The NVG 263 transfer case provides the driver with 4 manual mode/gear positions:
?€¢
2HI - 2 Wheel Drive high range

?€¢
4HI - 4 Wheel Drive high range

?€¢
4LO - 4 Wheel Drive low range

?€¢
Neutral

With the info I've given you ,you should be able too now !
There is probably a code stored somewhere !

Sounds like you will need to check the front axle vacuum actuator (should be located under the battery in the engine compartment) and clutch cable from there to the axle. If vacuum and cable are OK, you may need to replace the actuator or something has gone wrong in the transfer case .

The simple answer is to replace the TCCM (transfer case control module).
Being both cheap and inquisitive, I wanted to investigate further, and I will provide a more in-depth answer.

This answer pertains to various GM vehicles. These include the Chevy Blazer, GMC Jimmy, S10, S15, Sonoma vehicles from 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, & 2005.
Specifically the 15748800 module for the NP8 option 4 button automatic 4X4 NVG-236/246 transfer case.

I doing research online, I find that 15154323 might be an alternate TCCM, and that GM redesigned the module and now sells the replacement for this module with a 12577412 part number for about $300.

This information refers to the 15748800 module.
Symptoms. If the vehicle is started and driven in 2 hi, the vehicle operates normally.
If the driver attempts to switch the transfer case into any other mode, the transfer case makes noise as it shifts, the service 4x4 light comes on and the newly selected mode indicator light starts to flash.

The TCCM is mounted behind the passenger side kick panel cover. It should be removed but left connected. Pin F4 should be monitored with either a lamp or meter. This pin should be high or 12 volts when in 2 wheel drive, and low or ground when in 4 wheel drive.
A quick test of the system is to ground the F4 pin, recycle the ignition, and try shifting the transfer case into and out of 4 wheel drive. ( I used a lamp based test light to be safe. Do not an LED based one.) If the mode indicator light remains steady and the Service 4X4 does not light, proceed with this repair procedure. If this does not resolve the issue, please proceed to troubleshoot the front vacuum system, 4X4 solenoid, 4X4 actuator, front axle, or front axle indicator switch.

If this test appears to resolve the issue, you will need to remove the TCCM module from the vehicle. Bend the 8 tabs away from the back cover. Remove the top cover, unscrew the board from the back cover / plate. turn over the board at a static safe work station, and measure the indicated 10,000 ohm SMD resistor. In this module, the resistor is required to operate near it's limits, and I believe that the conformal coating trapped heat and caused the resistor to fail. You can check other resistors nearby for a relative comparison. If found to be open, the resistor can be replaced with a higher power value 10,000 ohm SMD resistor, or a conventional 10,000 ohm resistor with wired leads.

The TCCM should be checked for corrosion on the connectors and cleaned if nessacary. The module can then be restored to the vehicle, and your 4X4 should work normally.

Please respond if this procedure helps you.

check four wheel drive fuse transfer case switch stuck(common problem) or transfer case encoder module

Hi, it sounds like your front diff engages but your transfer case is not. raise one of your front tires off the ground and see if it will lock up when you go to 4hi. If it does then the problem is your encoder motor that hangs down under your transfer case.

Try putting the transmission in neutral first then shift the 4wd switch to 4 hi.then try shifting normally.If the light on the 4wd is flashing there is a code in the 4wd system and you will need to get the code.Sometimes the encoder motor will gets week and will not be able to switch gears.

sounds like you have a combonation trans and transfer case issues. if you were running youre truck in four wheel on a hard dry surface, witch is not recomended , the trans probibly ran hot. as for the transfer case, it could be a combination of problems. dash switch/ actuator/vacum switch/ vacum canister witch is under the battery tray. all have to work in unison. service the trans first. if the truck has high miles, add trans conditoner, if you do not, it will slip. then the transfer case. refer to youre owners man for oil specs. youre problems are not uneque as these trucks are notorius for unreiable four wheel actiuation. hope i was some help.

The transfer case may be low on fluid. I know from experience that if the level is too low or too bad the light comes on. Either way I would have it serviced.

Have you gotten a service light? Sometimes these electronic things just freak out. It might be as simple as a new switch. There is a motor on the transfer case that is responsable for moving the levers in the case that use to be done by a lever from inside the truck. I think it may be possible to remove this motor and replace it with a lever. I would check into this by calling a local 4x4 shop, or a mechanic that specializes in 4x4 vehicles.
