XI TROUBLE

TheKid · 01-16-2012, 11:47 AM

So I woke yesterday with a rwd car... abs, dtc, 4x4 all disabled... scanned the car and here are all the codes that appeared under transfer case in BT.

5251 - incremental encoder supply, signal or value under threshold
5461 - error actuator control
5462 - error actuator or increased power requirements for fpr clutch
5463 - break mechanics
55C3 - all wheel not activated
54C8 - class resistance at actuator
54C9 - temperature sensor actuator

any advice well be much appreciated

Nothing to do with DPs dude. Those codes are clealy x-drive related.

sounds like a power issue did you disconnect the battery recently

Have to get it checked out at a shop that can check the transfer case. There is a stepper motor that tightens up the clutches to increase front drive. Sounds like either the motor or the position sensor on the motor are dead. Otherwise you have a bad transfer case and need to replace it.

all the sensors are good, cleared the codes and disconnected the battery and 4x4 warning came back on at start up... looks like the vtg motor is dead, going to the dealership this week to get a new one... thanks for the help guys

Its your transfer case.
About 6k at the dealer, still under warranty?
