I explained the problem to the tech and he looked at the transfer case section closely and found no defects.... He say that the problem comes from somewhere else. So yesterday, I changed the VSS with no improvement. Now, Should I change the duty solenoid??? The TCU??? or...???

Is there a way to reset the TCU? 'cause the it gives me no trouble codes.... maybe resetting...
Joe, there's a procedure for reading stored codes (from previous problems). I have the procedure at home, or, if SVXcess comes along, perhaps he can post them -- or someone else, if they have them. Sorry. I feel so helpless. The thing about it is, the TCU will only tell you if a problem is electronic. If the problem is mechanical (which is my guess), it will not give you a code. The only time an electrical problem code will not show up, is when the unit in question is just within tolerance -- causing the part to malfunction due to inefficiency, but, still telling the TCU that it's "within tolerable limits."
