P1817 ACTUATOR MOTOR
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003772108
The actuator motor receives signals from the transfer c ontrol unit and controls shift rods which shift the trans-
fer case.  DTC P1817 will set when any of the following occur:
 Motor does not operate properly due to open  or short circuit in actuator motor.
 Malfunction is detected in the actuator motor. (W hen 4WD shift switch is operated and actuator motor does
not operate)
 Malfunction is detected in transfer shift high relay or transfer shift low relay.
