I am going to fo in the parking lot now and try to push the two buttons to get it in neutral and see what happens....

[h2co-pilot]

It won't go into neutral. The ((ABS)) light and the (TC) lights are still on on the dash.

S

The the DS tierod boot is cracked on the top. Not a significant leak oe anything- just need a new one. Phil, if I will need one of those sent here if you could. Ken will call in a little while.


The accordion thing up against the PS front tire is the CV boot right? The one that is dripping green. I will go get some pics.

We are going to drive it slowly to that 4x4 shop in a little while.

Thanks guys.

[h2co-pilot]

No, but that is a good idea. Will do.


In the manual 3-34 the TCS (traction off light) is linked to the abs and could be because the sensor was disconnected or damaged.

That sounds like a blown CV, but that doesn't explain why you can't get the t-case out of 4Lo.

Is some going to take a look at it this morning? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>I am in the middle of looking this up but a thought out loud.

If the CV is gone and you are in 4 LO, the computer is not registering any wheelspin at the tire when it should be, so now the ABS and <STRIKE>TC</STRIKE> lights on the dash are on. Maybe as a result of the CV being gone. So then, the Electronic Brake Control Module is telling the Transfer Case Control Module to not allow any shifting.

Damn CP & Ken sorry to hear you're having trouble again. Hope it is nothing to serious and you're back to wheeling. CP Congratulations on the ownership of Escalator

[BebeDaddy]

All hail the Queen!

All hail the T&A.

[HIHUMMER]

Keep Kicking A$$ Queeny!!

[Ompus]

Wow.. All I can say is congrats on the Escalator! Haven't been there myself, but it doesn't look easy.

In regards to your "breakage", congrats on that to.. Most Hummer owners will never do enough serious wheelin to break anything! It sort of like a badge of honor in my opinion.

Maybe put a small photo of each part you break on the side of your truck? Maybe also a photo of a little Jeep for everyone that you tow?

Hollie, this has played now. You can feel free to quit.

[Ipedog]

Hang in there CP. I hope BN is easilly fixable and you guys are back out there soon!

I heart the heavenly T&A Moab A$$kickers! You Girls Rock!

[h2co-pilot]

Well, we took it in and they have the stuff locally here to fix it. Most likely the CV joint. They didn't look at it right away- so I am dreading a call that says "Well we got the cv on but...."

They said it should be done today. Which is fugtastic!!! They aren't busy and everyone is doing their extracuricular activities today i.e. golf, horsebackriding etc. We should be all set for tomorrow's wheeling.

I was in my jammies most of the morning so I didn't get out to the parking lot to take good pictures of the carnage.

I obviously didn't get pics of Escalator on my camera but I'm sure some will come soon.

[HummerNewbie]

Good to hear. We will all keep our fingers crossed that is it.

I called an talked to a H2 tech and he can't see how the two are tied electronically. Not being a big believer in coinkydinks I just can't reason that the two aren't related.

But there is a Transfer Case lockout feature that is controlled on the Transfer Case Control Module. The TCCM controls everything to do with the t-case and is tied to the Class II. I'm thinking maybe the BCM is telling the TCCM to engage the lock out feature which will not allow voltage to flow to the t-case actuator thus it won't shift out of 4LO.

All that said, once the CV is fixed and it's driven around a little to clear the code, I'm thinking the t-case should then shift out of LO.

[h2co-pilot]

That's what I am hoping.

It says why they are related in the manual on pg. 3-34. Due to what- I forget. The manual is in the truck- in the shop.

[MarineHawk]

We've got our fingers crossed. Good luck.
