This means there is an issue in the system that the module is attempting the engage 4WD, but it fails, and it returns to the 2WD.

So that means we most likely have a code that will point us in the right direction.

Let's start with checking for codes and we can go from there.

However, I am attaching the wiring diagrams that we need to use in order to check the power going to the encoder and the front axle actuator as both of these are the most likely cause.

If they are not getting voltage when commanded to 4WD then the module is the issue.

Lo please run through this testing and let us know what you find, and we can go from there.
