Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra. Manual - part 2870
The ignition is ON.
System voltage is 10-18 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The system monitors the voltage on the neutral indicator control circuit.
If the system detects a voltage of 2 volts or less for 1.5 seconds when the 2 high indicator is
not commanded, the DTC is logged.
If the system detects a voltage of 4.5 volts or more when the 2 high indicator is commanded,
the DTC is logged.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The SERVICE 4WD indicator is commanded on for this DTC for the remainder of the ignition
cycle.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The transfer case shift control module clears the DTC if the condition for setting the DTC is
not currently present.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm up cycles without a fault present.
History DTCs can be cleared using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
A short to ground on the neutral indicator control circuit will cause the neutral indicator to
remain on at all times. An open or high resistance will cause the neutral indicator to be
inoperative during the 2 second bulb check.
Circuit/System Testing
Check the 12 volt reference circuit pin 2 at the transfer case shift control switch for voltage with
the ignition on.
If less than battery voltage check the 12 volt reference circuit for an open or high resistance.
If the voltage is low or non existent and the circuit tests good replace the BCM. If the BCM
test good go to the next step.
If the neutral indicator is on at all times check the neutral indicator control circuit for a
short to ground. If the neutral indicator is inoperative during bulb check, check the neutral
indicator control circuit for an open or high resistance or short to voltage. If the circuit
checks good continue to the next step.
With the ignition on shift the transmission to neutral and using transfer case output controls
attempt to command the neutral indicator off and on. If the neutral indicator is still
inoperative short to neutral indicator control to ground, if the neutral indicator lights
replace the module, program, and complete the motor learn procedure. If the neutral
indicator is still inoperative replace the switch.

DTC Descriptor
DTC B2725 08
Active Transfer Case Mode Switch Circuit
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The active transfer case mode switch circuit consists of 5 modes. The transfer case shift control
module supplies 5 volts to the switch through the 5-volt reference circuit. The current travel
through the resistor of the currently active mode. The current is then returned to the transfer case
shift control module through the switch signal circuit. The transfer case shift control module
constantly monitors this signal voltage to determine the condition of the mode switch circuit.
When each of the modes are selected they complete a circuit through their own specific resistor.
The transfer case shift control module continuously monitors the switch input to determine
whether the Neutral, AWD, 2HI, 4HI, or 4LO mode was selected by the driver.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.
System voltage is 10.5-18 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The system constantly monitors the voltage on switch signal circuit.
If the system detects a voltage level under 0.38 volts or greater than 4.86 volts for 60
seconds, the DTC is logged.

cycle.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The transfer case shift control module clears the DTC if the condition for setting the DTC is
not currently present.
