Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2 Transfer Case Control Module - how to replace and fix noise during start up

[@GreenHorn1Acre]

After watching this video I ordered the module as per part number for my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited. This fix/replacement solved my multiple transfer case issues. Fixed my: - Clicking noise at transfer case. - Knocking at 2nd/3rd gear change. - Service 4wheel drive system & traction control warning light. - 4x4 Low is now working. All in 10 minutes and $115usd from Amazon! Thank you for making & posting this video!! 👌🏼😁👌🏼!

Just did this to my 2014 it was stuck in 4wd diffs locked ... paid $160 for the part took 10 mins to do thank mate u save me a fortune...... legend

[@coreydbryant]

I just want to say, thank you... thank you... thank you... It has been over a year since my 4x4 capabilities have been capable... I disconnected the battery for 10 minutes, disconnected the old one, plugged in the new one, and reconnected the battery... It felt so good to hear the transfer case engaging... Blessings to you...

So glad I came across your video. My wife’s GC was shifting weird and clunking in reverse. It also had that chatter sound underneath at start up. Stressing out because her transfer case was replaced at only 43K miles by Jeep a couple of years ago at a whopping $3200.00. Only 13000 miles later it was acting up. Mind you, her truck only has 56K miles. Based on the symptoms, I thought for sure it was a mechanical issues that would probably warrant spending thousands. Anyway, saw your video, ordered the replacement transfer case module and seems to have solved the issue. The give away for me was the chatter sound underneath at start up. Thank you!

[@TheEddysGarage]

Glad it got fixed for cheap and saved you a heap of cash. Please give the video a like ind if you think it is deserved, send a Thanks tip 👍

[@ShaunyBoys-wf6zr]

I'm about to replace this on my jeep. The chatter during start up and idling at traffic lights, the weird clunkyness backing up and slowly turning, like in a parking garage. Hope I can avoid a costly repair. I'm now wondering if slow air leak in a tire or 2 caused this, or maybe oversized tires without setting the computer for the larger diameter tires the trouble?

[@martinruiz141]

@@ShaunyBoys-wf6zr from the sound of it, it does sound like the module went bad. I’ve also heard that these transfer cases are very sensitive and if there is slight uneven wear on the tires, it can cause the transfer case to go bad. Don’t know if low tire pressure would cause that, but definitely uneven tire tread wear. You can find the module online ranging from $100.00 - $500.00. I went OEM and paid around $279.00 from an online dealer. Good luck!

[@ShaunyBoys-wf6zr]

@@martinruiz141 Thank you for your reply. Fingers crossed the module is the only thing needed. Mopar website lists 2 TCCM options, for $670 and $582- I decided to buy the cheap knockoff from Amazon for $80 - but upon watching some more videos on this subject, I suspect the transfer case is fried from being neglected and changing to larger AT tires... time will tell!

Thanks for the video! Installed my transfer case control module today on my 2017 Grand Jeep Cherokee and no more issues. I did buy it from the dealer and paid $280 (Mopar part). It was a different part number then yours. My traction control light was coming on as well as my "Service 4 wheel Drive" alert. I had the same clicking noise (I think coming from the transfer case) as well along with my 4 wheel drive coming on when not needed when making turns (you could feel the front tires grabbing on dry pavement).

A friend of mine with WK2 Diesel 3,0L from 2019 had a sijilar problem,but the change of the part did not help him a lot. He had to change also the motor on the rear differential, otherwise the TCM here from the video burns very fast.The local dealership wanted 2300usd for the change of the motor of the dif and potentially to replace the rear diff 24.000usd. With a second hand part for 370 usd the issue was fixed. So as a conclusion,make always the right troubleshooting before starting to invest.

Bad tires can ruin the transfer case on these vehicles?

Absolutely. If the rolling diameter is off from wear, mismatched sizes or even different brand or model tires it can ruin the transfer case because all 4 corners aren’t tuning at the same speed.

Hi Mate - great video and explanations - i am getting the message on 4WD service on my Jeep GC 2015 V8. Any suggestion on how to fix this without going into expensive dealer? What i have done so far: Scanning shows DTMC C1403-92 and ABS U0403-00. Removed battery for 5 - 10 minutes Removed Transfer Case Control Module under the driver seat and placed it back for any lose connections. Added Transmission Fluid at 100K, now the jeep is 120K, issue started now at around 120K. Should i need to fix in following order: Change Differential Fluid? 75w85? Change Transfer Case Fluid? ATF+4? Change the Transfer Case Control Module itself? (under driver seat)? Check wheel sensor? ..... What would be the best sequence to troubleshoot? Did you just changed the Transfer Case Control Module and it solved for you? really appreciate your suggestion mate.

I would be doing the fluids anyway just for maintenance. Not sure about the codes but if you read all the video comments some people have fixed the 4wd service by replacing the module. All your tires are the same brand, model and size right? If not it will cause problems.

Try replacing the fluid and the module. No, the module does not need to be programmed (read the comments because lots of dealers try to scam you and say that it does). Make your you have all the same brand, model and size of tires on all 4 corners. Even if they have the same size written on them id doesn't mean they are the same size because different manufactures measure slightly differently and if it is off it will destroy the transfer case. Tires, fluid and a module are a lot cheaper than a transfer case!!!

[@TheEddysGarage]

None, just the noise but if you leave it you will get heaps of it problems

[@denisohbrien]

Commmenting so i can fins this video again and update. My 2014 ecodiesel gas 150k miles on it and is bangin into gears and juddering under load and all the stuff im used to when i drive a vehicle with a bound up transfer case. She has already burnt the fluid in the front diff and trashed its input bearing. Have put a new front diff in bit have left the fuze for the transfer case out while i save up for a transfer case(pulling the fuse renders the car rwd but all other symptoms disappeared)... So ive just bought this module, the latest one, keen too see how she goes.! My car had the ticking sound too and occational service 4wd message.

[@TheEddysGarage]

You have the same size and (importantly) the same brand and model tire right? If not it will cook the transfer case.

[@denisohbrien]

@@TheEddysGarage I bought the car with these issues and no it doesn't, and there all getting replaced but I marked the tyres and checked rollout and thankfully was all equal. Which goes with the different brands of tyres that are all evenly worn. I've lots of experience with xdrive BMW's which are mechnically the same as this jeep.

[@TheEddysGarage]

@@denisohbrienyes replace those tires and good luck.

[@denisohbrien]

@@TheEddysGarage just a wee update, the new module got rid of all the clunks bangs judders under acceleration and ticks, to a point where I don't think il even need to freshen the clutch pack up. I still have 2 bad bearings to sort . Drivability has VASTLY improved. Very worthwhile. Thankyou!

[@TheEddysGarage]

@@denisohbrienawesome news!!

[@aymandolouay]

thanx for this video very helpful i just replaced mine and now its working perfect thanx again

[@TheEddysGarage]

I’m glad it worked out and saved you some money. Be sure to like and subscribe so it can help others with the same transfer case problem

[@wmadyun07]

Did you also get the “binding” when trying to turn at low speeds like in parking lot? Before module change? Thanks.

[@TheEddysGarage]

I just had the noise on start up but other people on forums had the binding

[@wmadyun07]

Cool I just received my new module and installed!!!! Worked like you said. No clicking on start up or binding when turning slow and now I can shift into 4 wheel drive after almost a year which was the sole reason for WK2 purchase!!! Thank you very much! Peace & Blessings!

[@orxanmemmedov3753]

Hello, this module has different prices. Does it have to be original?

[@TheEddysGarage]

Yes get a new one from your local dealer and they can confirm the correct part number for your year jeep

[@juniorluna-xp5sm]

By any chance did you get a service 4x4 light ?

[@TheEddysGarage]

No I just had the noise on start up

[@maxtorque5329]

is 733AE and upgrade from 732AE? , a lot of mopar websites list both for my jeep 2016 Grand Cherokee diesel

[@SrtHemiPower]

Does noise progress when you hit the gas?

[@TheEddysGarage]

No, just on start up

Battery is under the hood here in the US and this part is $400 from mopar

G’day Mate thank you for the Reply and your time I appreciate it.. 2013 Trail Hawk.GC🇦🇺 USA auto parts believed programming required $668 part GC jeep says programming required $447 part KZbin US mechanic who did this thought he would have to program and was surprised to find part Pre programmed as what you had.. Do you have any other thoughts.. I am grateful.. thank you

G’day Mate thank you for the info.. Did your new Transfer Case Control Module come Pre programmed?? 🇦🇺GC jeep say it does need to be programmed and will need to come in…. So no plug in and go..?? Gold Coast🇦🇺

[@drewaloe113]

how much was the unit ?

[@TheEddysGarage]

Can’t remember as it was 2 years ago but I thought $200 something Australian. There are link to products on Amazon in the description but check compatibility with your Jeep dealer

Thanks so much,hard to find a australian version of this issue,well done guys once again.Just a quick question,any recommendations on a good obd2 reader for jeeps,had one that didnt pull up any issue even though i have the car with skids on my dash?

[@TheEddysGarage]

I just have a cheap reader from Amazon and use the AlfaOBD software. Mine didn’t come up as an error either

[@jasonshaw4820]

Got the part today and put it in,drives 👍 smooth as and changes gears so nice.just have to get a scanner that has tcm settings(transmission),tried 2 scanners and they can’t see fault.

[@supoakinleye1864]

Will this work for 2017?? 🤔

[@TheEddysGarage]

Just check with your local dealer for the correct module. I have heard there was a change in part number.

[@supoakinleye1864]

I know this is an older video but I am having similar issues Car starts (clunky) I drive and then I’ll get “ auto start stop disabled “ Then very shortly after I’ll get “Service electronic stability system” And at that point the car will no longer shift I’ll be stuck in what gear i was in when warning came up Any have this issue?

@@TheEddysGarage Good on you mate. You have helped a lot of people obviously.

[@Grant3758]

​@The Eddys Garage sorry i didnt see you describe the noise on start up? Was it a whining or like the clicking people mention from the little motor on the transfer case? Thanks! I have the u04030 code (implausible data received from transfer case)

I tried ordering this part for my 15 5.7 hemi but the part is on back ordered so they sent my money back. Are there any other places you recommend I can buy from

[@TheEddysGarage]

Try your local jeep dealer

[@michaellee6999]

Thank you for your video. This appears to be my issue as well. I live in Australia so can you share which Jeep dealer supplied the TCM?

[@TheEddysGarage]

My local Gold Coast Jeep dealer but any dealer can supply it. Just call them with your vin number (they can look it up with your rego).

[@marlonmunoz4238]

The steering wheel it’s en the right side ?

I’m in Australia 🐨

[@chrisbuchta2784]

I changed mine and now I have no lights on my 4 wheel knob and light is still on

[@TheEddysGarage]

Disconnect the battery again. Unplug then plug in the module again. Re connect the battery. If not then are you sure it is the correct module for your jeep? My dealer confirmed the part number for mine.

[@dropdead_srt]

Is it possible for the clunk to not only be for a few second but constantly while the car is on? 2016 srt Jeep all same symptoms no check engine light. My ticking noise sounds the same but it’s consistent and changes with rpm

[@TheEddysGarage]

Sounds like my problem too.

[@dropdead_srt]

@@TheEddysGarage thanks for the speedy reply 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@johnathoncast]

Good no BS video. Would you be able to ask you mechanic buddy if the part number is universal or exclusive to Australia?

[@TheEddysGarage]

It’s the part number for my 2013. There are some different numbers for different years and a Jeep dealer can give you the part number for your car based off your vin number

[@princekahlon86]

did the replacement fixed the clunking into second gear? how much was the part itself? Thanks

[@TheEddysGarage]

Yes the 2nd gear clunk is gone and it was $225AUD from my local Jeep parts department

Hi!! I have a 2014 JGC, I have a service 4wd light on the dash and by the gear shift the 4wd low button is lit and the N is lit up as well, would this fix the Problem?

[@AndersonHVAC]

Did it High rev and lag to shift like at 4-5k rpm ? Let me know

[@TheEddysGarage]

No it was clunking hard into second

[@scottpeters5105]

Don't you need to reprogram this module after installation? My dealership told me I had to do this that's why I am asking...

[@TheEddysGarage]

I didn’t have to as my year isn’t coded to the car. I also wouldn’t trust the dealer. You can always bring it to them if needed

[@aidedelapaz7199]

Hello, What year is your vehicle. Mine is a Grand Cherokee 2017 Jeep. I took to dealer ship n they r saying I need a new Transfer case module. Does the module need programming?

[@TheEddysGarage]

My Jeep is a MY2014 and it didn't need programming. My Jeep tech friend said that they are dummy modules and you just need the correct one for your year. Any jeep dealer can give you the part number but I have an Amazon link in the video description for the part number I used.

[@DONALDEDDY-o9b]

great video on the Jeep

[@sethwoodward2108]

Hey I had a question for you. I believe this is the issue on my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Eco Diesel. It’s giving like a clicking noise and saying “service four wheel drive” the dealership is trying to charge me $900+ to replace this as that’s what they diagnosed as the issue. No programming or anything needed??

[@TheEddysGarage]

I just swapped it out and was fine. I was told by Jeep mechanic mate that it didn’t need programming and as always he was right. You may need to clear stored codes when you are done

[@sethwoodward2108]

Yes!!! It worked! Thank you very much. Saved me well over $500!!! That was a 10 minute repair and just for labor the dealership wanted to charge me like $550! Plus the marked up part. Thanks again!!

[@The10thDentist]

Thank you for sharing

[@TheEddysGarage]

You are welcome . I hope it helped and saved you some money.

[@petermuschong4714]

After installing, did the module need any programming or updating from the dealership? Or, did it automatically communicate with the transfer case? Thanks!

[@TheEddysGarage]

No programming needed on mine. Just reconnected the battery and took it for a drive
