Software Incompatibility with Transfer Case Control Module

Moderate severity

What it means

A control module has detected that its software/calibration is incompatible with the transfer case control module. AWD/4WD modes may not work correctly until matching software is flashed.

Is it safe to drive?

Use caution

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.
