Shift Reversal Targets

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mitsubishi Raider. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the shift timer expires (1.0 seconds per mode sensor position) and the transfer case has not reached the desired position, all shifts will attempt to return to their original position with the exceptions of:

If the intended shift is going to the High rail from Low and can't make it, but it can make the 2WD or AWD position, the motor stops at that position. The FCM will not attempt to cross back over NEUTRAL if it does not have to. This means that there was a block on the first attempt to go to 4LOCK and the transfer case has made it through NEUTRAL to a known good position, then the motor will go back only to the 2WD or AWD position and execute the remainder of the attempts from there.
For shifts out of NEUTRAL, any time a shift is commanded out of NEUTRAL, the system needs to get out. The FCM should never go to NEUTRAL unless the driver is commanding it and all required conditions are being met.
