(4) Remove the front output shaft seal slinger by
bending (Fig. 83) the slinger away from the transfer
case.
(5) Using a suitable pry tool, remove the slinger
from the output shaft using care not to damage the
shaft.
(6) Using a screw and a slide hammer, remove the
front output shaft seal.
INSTALLATION

MODE SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The transfer case mode sensor (Fig. 84) is an elec-
tronic device whose output can be interpreted to indi-
cate the shift motor shaft's rotary position. The
sensor consists of a magnetic ring and four Hall
Effect Transistors to create a 4 channel digital device
(non-contacting) whose output converts the motor
shaft position into a coded signal. The TCCM must
supply 5VDC (+/- 0.5v) to the sensor and monitor the
shift motor position. The four channels are denoted
A, B, C, and D. The sensor is mechanically linked to
the shaft of the cam which causes the transfer case
shifting. The mode sensor draws less than 53 mA.
