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!! 👌🏼😁👌🏼!
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!
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?
@@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!
@@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!
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...
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! Worked perfect on 2012 WK2!!! No more clicking noise at startup, no more binding when turning at slow speeds and after a year I’m able to shift into 4x4 and use my WK2 for what I purchased it for! Thank you very much!!!!
So happy to hear that replacing the module fixed your issue!!! I have the 2012 model too and My car is binding soo much😢 Any idea where to get the trusted part
Thanks!!! This video just saved me over $3000 dollars. The dealer wanted to change the front differentialand charge me $3200 dollars. Unbelievable! I paid $330 dollars for the control module and now it's fixed. Thanks so much!

I did some searching and came across your Video and replaced the Module ($100). Works Great again, Stealerships are just as bad as Independent shops , can’t trust anyone anymore.
Just wanna say thank u for this video I just saved 5k took my srt to a shop where they only specialize in srt they said it was the transfer case I changed this part out only $80 and running like a champ hard to trust people now days. THANKS for video brotha 🙏🏽
You saved me 4500 today. Took it in for the exact same noise and issues. Repair shop said i need a new transfer case and front drive shaft. Went down there to take a look because I saw your video and was skeptical of the diagnostic. Turns out the drive shaft is fine no sheering. No metal in the oil. Replaced the TCCM in 5 minutes and drove it off the lot. Cheers to you man, thank you!
Definitely appreciate this fixed my issue with the same problems on my 2015 Jeep Grand cherokee summit 3.6L 300 dollar part and 5 mins to change it was worth it then going to the dealer. Everytime I turn jeep on and put in gears I kept earing it. U helped me fixed it thanks.
Thanks for posting mate have a 2014 jeep srt got the part from jeep southport today put it in and everything working grate saved me so much money everyone was saying transfer case 😅 but thankfully it was not really appropriate the video.

@@GreenHorn1Acre so I ordered one because my car was making the ticking sound. When I plugged the new TCCM in the ticking sound went away but now I have the check engine light on, serv 4WD, and traction control. When I first plugged it in and took it for a drive everything was good but then those 3 lights came on and the car won’t shift at all. I’m not sure if the TCCM I got is faulty or what the issue is.
I have a 2015 srt jeep bro you saved me every one was saying it was the transfer case but it was the tccm thanks a lot bro all I did was what you said to do in the video and reset the codes on the car save me $3,500 +
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.
Thanks for this. I suspected that was what was wrong with my 2014 limited diesel but you gave me confidence in changing myself (wasn't sure if it needed programming). Part was $225 including GST from a gold coast dealer. 10 minute job.
my Jeep Servisce in Nevada fixing my Jeep for 10 days. I was under warranty. They said if no warranty I have to pay $1700 US dollars. Totally BS! Thank you for great video
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).
@@greglawson740 holy crap that many miles!? Wow. I’m 147k miles and this is the first major thing that’s giving me heartburn. A bunch of diesel warranty items but nothing major out of pocket.
G’day mate, where did you source the new module? I’m chasing one for a 2011 WK2 and the Jeep spares department are telling me it needs to be coded in to the specific vehicle. Did you need to do that, or was it just plug and play? I can’t really afford a grand to clear a CEL unfortunately.
Mine is from the newer 8 speed gearbox so it might be different from the older 5 speed. Mine needed no coding and was just plug and play. I bought it from my local Jeep dealership on the Gold Coast Queensland but there are lots available on amazon now and it looks like Jeep has updated part numbers as well.
@@TheEddysGarage thanks mate. I’ll just order one of eBay I think. The dealer insisted that they replace it, and I think they’re just trying to gouge me.
@@davidyoung3239 changed control unit, same problem. Then replaced transfer case fluid and problem slowly disappeared after a few days. It doesn’t do it anymore, as long as I let the car warm up. If I bang it into drive quickly, it occasionally still locks up. I’m guessing the gears in the transfer case are worn, to replace it Jeep wanted 3500k plus fitting. If it shits itself eventually I’ll replace it, for now it’s ok.
Only day 2 after changing mine and it fixed the issue so far but I feel like it messed with the torque .. like that rubber ban feeling when you punch the gas.. feels little slower not sure if any one else felt the difference ?! My overland had the same thing 732AE
It worked. I changed today and all my problems are gone, noise. slippage, Service 4wd message at highway speed. all gone. PLus I belive Problem since brand new rough take off is also gone. These upgraded modules must have been fine tuned. Also for guys in Au, I got genuine module from Perth Osborne park jeep for $215. Amazing
Thanks for this video! The clicking sound just started on 2015 Jeep GC Limited thso morning. Ordered a new module. Hopefully gets here soon. Couldn't be any easier to change out. Mechnic/Dealers prob charge couple hundred dollars to unplug a battery and 2 module cables!
so after the install my jeep which is a 2015 grand cherokee ecodiesel runs great. i pulled the unit up on my scanner and it says in 3 areas in red something about gear ratios that have to be enabled. not sure if this is something that the dealer would need to do. i will drive it some and see if it learns this or maybe my model and year do not have this option. but yes this solved my clicking and thump in second gear. you are the only one that had a decent video of the fix. thanks
2015 jeep grand cherokee Making that noise at start Then making it when you change to the different gears 4wd service message pops up So i need a new transfer case? Does transfer case need to be programmed?
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!!!
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?
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.
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.
So I’m having this noise while driving it happens constant but it’s only when I’m in motion an a clunking noise been happening for a couple weeks now I’m having issues with my air suspension got the service fwd could this be my issue well I ordered it anyway just in case
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🇦🇺
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
Did your 4wd low not engage. I get the same clicking when starting car, or changing gears, or putting into park. When I'm doi g 60mph+ I get a dash message that says service 4wd system. But once the car shuts off it disappears
After installing, did the module need any programming or updating from the dealership? Or, did it automatically communicate with the transfer case? Thanks!
I know this video is a little old but when you made a turn did your jeep bind up or feel resistance to move? Somewhat like if the 4 wheel drive was on? My JGC just started making this noise
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!
I guess you could get it and try it if you are willing to try that. Up to you. I didn't have to program mine in the 8 speed '13 but Im not sure about the 5 speed '12.
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?
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.
Thanksssss so much, Just want to confirm. Do you have " Service 4wd " message and tcs light on sometime on highway speed? Do you have intermitted slip feeling at rolling speed at a bit ramp up?
@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
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 TH-cam 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
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??
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
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!!
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 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 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!
I need some advice - 2013 3.0 CRD - C140A-92 error showed up: transfer case motor control performance/incorrect operation. I also had the loud bang when changing gears (yet not the rattling sound) so decided to get the new module. The' bang' disappeared - now drives and changes gears smoothly yet for short time rattling emerged - then disappeared. The error initially disappeared, later on returned. When the error is displayed I'm unable to engage the low range; when disappears - I can get to low range... Any suggestions? Will it be the motor itself? The error shows the transfer case clutch beyond the standard position (or something like this) whatever it means... Did you ever have anything like that? Can you advise anything, please? Thanks
@@TheEddysGarage I checked and changed oil in transfer case, differentials, gear box. I'm thinking if there's a chance that the motor is broken and unable to work properly or there may be some damage inside the transfer box (got strange sound - the faster drive the faster it knocks) - will need to open the whole box and check inside yet wouldn't want if not necessary...
@@TheEddysGarage all tyres Pirelli Scorpio changed about a year ago yet I wonder what to do to stop the error returning - even when cleared shows again almost immediately. There must be some constatnt issue. Swapping the module helped for the changing gear issue yet there must be also some another problem...
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?
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?
Hello I have a 2015 JGC, the front wheel is locking up when I try to make a full U-turn. Is changing the drivetrain control module and the powertrain control module one of the same, or I would have to change the DTCM only?
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
Was your car ticking persistently or was it for a few seconds at start up? I’ve got an srt with all same symptoms but my check England light isn’t on, and the ticking is constant and changes w rmp.
@@SurfFX Hello my friend I have been looking on the amazon link but I could not find it I found only the keep GRAND CHEROKEE pieces If you have a friend who works there or if there is another possibility, please inform me I'm not sure if you have a friend who works at amazon or if there is another option.

When I first plugged it in and took it for a drive everything was good but then those 3 lights came on and the car won’t shift at all.
I’m not sure if the TCCM I got is faulty or what the issue is.
I have a 2015 srt jeep bro you saved me every one was saying it was the transfer case but it was the tccm thanks a lot bro all I did was what you said to do in the video and reset the codes on the car save me $3,500 +
Glad I could help. We accept tips if you want to hit that give thanks button 👍
What was your srt doing ? I have a 2014 and it downshifts a lot and traction light won’t turn off .

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.
Thanks for this. I suspected that was what was wrong with my 2014 limited diesel but you gave me confidence in changing myself (wasn't sure if it needed programming). Part was $225 including GST from a gold coast dealer. 10 minute job.
I’m on the Goldie as well 😉
HI, was the control knob lights not working when your turned the knob? Mine is not and nothing changes when I turn the knob. Thanks: Bob
@@robertpetersen443 I believe you need to replace the switch unit itself . That's the small panel with the knob and air suspension buttons .

hello, one question my jeep ecodiesel 2015 has a transmission problem stuck in 4x4 low can you help me I would be grateful
Much appreciated! One additional tip, move the driver seat back before disconnecting the battery. Otherwise you won't be able to.
my Jeep Servisce in Nevada fixing my Jeep for 10 days. I was under warranty. They said if no warranty I have to pay $1700 US dollars. Totally BS! Thank you for great video
I hope it all works out
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).
I only had the noise on start up. Are you tires all the same size, make and model? If not it can destroy the transfer case.
Hey Sal, which country r u residing in?
@@TheEddysGarage even i have placed a comment need ur recommendation 3:24
Did that fix everything for you?
Yes it did solve all the problems
Thank you so much for this video. Dealership/ stealership wanted to charge me for a new transfer case 8K. This video helped me save more then 7k 🙏
That’s so good to hear.
OMG!!!! thank you!! you saved me from going out and buying the transfer case motor and I would have had the same problem I started with 🤩
Make sure all your tires are the same size, brand and model too. If not your transfer case will go
I've got 360,000 on my 2015 jeep Grand Cherokee eco 3.0 it's time for things to start going wrong lol
@@greglawson740 holy crap that many miles!? Wow. I’m 147k miles and this is the first major thing that’s giving me heartburn. A bunch of diesel warranty items but nothing major out of pocket.
Thank you for your video! Helped me with my 2014 grand Cherokee
No problem 😉
G’day mate, where did you source the new module? I’m chasing one for a 2011 WK2 and the Jeep spares department are telling me it needs to be coded in to the specific vehicle. Did you need to do that, or was it just plug and play? I can’t really afford a grand to clear a CEL unfortunately.
Mine is from the newer 8 speed gearbox so it might be different from the older 5 speed. Mine needed no coding and was just plug and play. I bought it from my local Jeep dealership on the Gold Coast Queensland but there are lots available on amazon now and it looks like Jeep has updated part numbers as well.
@@TheEddysGarage thanks mate. I’ll just order one of eBay I think. The dealer insisted that they replace it, and I think they’re just trying to gouge me.
@@kathrynandbrad7737make sure it covers your year.
Have the exact same issue...Thank You for taking the time and sharing, I know it's a pain in the arse to do these vids.
I’ll be trying this in a couple of days hope this works. I’ll keep update once I get the part 🤙🏽
Hopefully if fixed your problem
Brother you just saved us money 🤙🏽❤️ thank you sir.!
@@MrRawness32 no problem. Did you know that you can tip videos that deserve it with the $❤️ thanks button 👍
Exact same problem on my SRT. Also hesitating on full lock. Hopefully this fixes the issue. Thanks for the video.
how did you go mate. I just got same problem today
@@davidyoung3239 changed control unit, same problem. Then replaced transfer case fluid and problem slowly disappeared after a few days. It doesn’t do it anymore, as long as I let the car warm up. If I bang it into drive quickly, it occasionally still locks up. I’m guessing the gears in the transfer case are worn, to replace it Jeep wanted 3500k plus fitting. If it shits itself eventually I’ll replace it, for now it’s ok.
@frank well that's good to hear i guess mate . just ordered the module today from jeep aspley $250 fingers crossed that's all my problem is.
@@davidyoung3239 hopefully it fixes it for you. Otherwise try changing the fluid as well.
new control module is in and there is no ticking no hard gear changing no shuddering. so thankful to of seen this video 🤙
Only day 2 after changing mine and it fixed the issue so far but I feel like it messed with the torque .. like that rubber ban feeling when you punch the gas.. feels little slower not sure if any one else felt the difference ?! My overland had the same thing 732AE
All the tires are the same size, brand and model right? Did you disconnect the battery for a while? That can help it relearn
It's not under there in the 2014 jeep grand cherokee I'm working on. There's just an empty tub under the drivers seat.
that's odd. is the battery under the drivers seat? there isn't I don't want to be a smart arse but it is a 4x4 right?
It worked. I changed today and all my problems are gone, noise. slippage, Service 4wd message at highway speed. all gone. PLus I belive Problem since brand new rough take off is also gone. These upgraded modules must have been fine tuned. Also for guys in Au, I got genuine module from Perth Osborne park jeep for $215. Amazing
Good results
Thx for your video. Much cheaper and easy fix than I was quoted… I hope like you it fix’s the issue I have. 😊
Still working for me
Thanks for this video! The clicking sound just started on 2015 Jeep GC Limited thso morning. Ordered a new module. Hopefully gets here soon. Couldn't be any easier to change out. Mechnic/Dealers prob charge couple hundred dollars to unplug a battery and 2 module cables!
Such a good result
so after the install my jeep which is a 2015 grand cherokee ecodiesel runs great. i pulled the unit up on my scanner and it says in 3 areas in red something about gear ratios that have to be enabled. not sure if this is something that the dealer would need to do. i will drive it some and see if it learns this or maybe my model and year do not have this option. but yes this solved my clicking and thump in second gear. you are the only one that had a decent video of the fix. thanks
Hopefully it gets sorted for you. Glad you liked the video
I can't translate the comments, can you explain to me why you changed that module? What problems did the car have?
The noise on startup was the problem. It is in the beginning of the video..
Yo quick question did this start to happen after doing a battery replacement?
No. It just started making the noise randomly
@@TheEddysGarage sick, my WK2 just started this after replacing the battery and left it parked for about a week. Has about 150,xxx miles
I’m about to order that module hopefully it fixes the issue
2015 jeep grand cherokee
Making that noise at start
Then making it when you change to the different gears
4wd service message pops up
So i need a new transfer case?
Does transfer case need to be programmed?
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!!!
Wonder what the noise actually was
Hi boss,
Just a quick question,does your jeep make a hard turning? If so, does it fix it?i have the same problem, making exactly the same noise
It was only the noise on start up but I have heard that it was just the start of drive line noises when the module continues to fail.
thanx for this video very helpful i just replaced mine and now its working perfect thanx again
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
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?
I just have a cheap reader from Amazon and use the AlfaOBD software. Mine didn’t come up as an error either
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.
do you have a video about the transfer case position sensor? 2013 jeep grand cherokee 3.6
No sorry
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.
So I’m having this noise while driving it happens constant but it’s only when I’m in motion an a clunking noise been happening for a couple weeks now I’m having issues with my air suspension got the service fwd could this be my issue well I ordered it anyway just in case
Let us know how it goes because it might help someone else who’s car has the same symptoms
The year 2015 to 2018 used the same type transfer case module.. no matter the code number on it, or we should have the same number matching.???
Your dealer will be able to confirm with your vin number. Of course you don’t have to buy it from them.
I cant find my transfer case module under driver seat any idea where else it can be i have a 2011 jeep Grand Cherokee
Not sure sorry as that is the earlier version with a different transmission.
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?
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).
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🇦🇺
Good no BS video. Would you be able to ask you mechanic buddy if the part number is universal or exclusive to Australia?
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
U0403-00 is the code that’s coming up in my Jeep. This module your changing out in this video, do you believe is my problem?
Not sure sorry
Did your 4wd low not engage. I get the same clicking when starting car, or changing gears, or putting into park. When I'm doi g 60mph+ I get a dash message that says service 4wd system. But once the car shuts off it disappears
I was just getting the noise on startup but the symptoms you described are also part of the problem. Are all your tires the same size, make and model?
After installing, did the module need any programming or updating from the dealership? Or, did it automatically communicate with the transfer case? Thanks!
No programming needed on mine. Just reconnected the battery and took it for a drive
I know this video is a little old but when you made a turn did your jeep bind up or feel resistance to move? Somewhat like if the 4 wheel drive was on? My JGC just started making this noise
My noise was just on start up but my jeep mechanic said it would lead to a binding as the module continued to fail.
Did you also get the “binding” when trying to turn at low speeds like in parking lot? Before module change? Thanks.
I just had the noise on start up but other people on forums had the binding
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!
did the replacement fixed the clunking into second gear? how much was the part itself? Thanks
Yes the 2nd gear clunk is gone and it was $225AUD from my local Jeep parts department
Does noise progress when you hit the gas?
No, just on start up
Does the module still need to be dealer programmed?
Or is it plug and play good to go
Not it is plug and play on my Jeep
Dealership telling me i need my 2012 module programmed how do i find out if they telling the truth? They want to charge me $125 to program it..
I guess you could get it and try it if you are willing to try that. Up to you. I didn't have to program mine in the 8 speed '13 but Im not sure about the 5 speed '12.
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?
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.
Thanksssss so much, Just want to confirm. Do you have " Service 4wd " message and tcs light on sometime on highway speed? Do you have intermitted slip feeling at rolling speed at a bit ramp up?
I just had the noise on start up but other people have commented on the dash messages
@@TheEddysGarage Good on you mate. You have helped a lot of people obviously.
@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)
@@Grant3758 I have clips of the noise at the start of the video and describe it a a rattle at th 45 second mark. hope that helps

Try your local jeep dealer
Hello, this module has different prices. Does it have to be original?
Yes get a new one from your local dealer and they can confirm the correct part number for your year jeep
is 733AE and upgrade from 732AE? , a lot of mopar websites list both for my jeep 2016 Grand Cherokee diesel
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
TH-cam 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
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??
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
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!!
There must be several different options for this module because I just have an empty compartment on one side and the battery on the other
Your dealer will be able to tell you what is needed from your VIN
Bro was it just the sound ? That made you change it was your display on the selec terrain we’re they lit or they quit showing like mine ?
The sound and clunky 2nd is why I changed it. I’m sure the next thing would have been the dash lighting up like a Christmas tree.
Exact same problem with my 2014, hopefully this fixes it
Hopefully it does
Did it fix
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.
You have the same size and (importantly) the same brand and model tire right? If not it will cook the transfer case.
@@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.
@@denisohbrienyes replace those tires and good luck.
@@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!
@@denisohbrienawesome news!!

Yes it is different. Sorry don’t know where it is located
Thanks bro, this video is so helpful
I need some advice - 2013 3.0 CRD - C140A-92 error showed up: transfer case motor control performance/incorrect operation. I also had the loud bang when changing gears (yet not the rattling sound) so decided to get the new module. The' bang' disappeared - now drives and changes gears smoothly yet for short time rattling emerged - then disappeared. The error initially disappeared, later on returned. When the error is displayed I'm unable to engage the low range; when disappears - I can get to low range... Any suggestions? Will it be the motor itself? The error shows the transfer case clutch beyond the standard position (or something like this) whatever it means... Did you ever have anything like that? Can you advise anything, please? Thanks
Sorry I haven’t had that issue. Have you checked for metal in the transfer case fluid?
@@TheEddysGarage I checked and changed oil in transfer case, differentials, gear box. I'm thinking if there's a chance that the motor is broken and unable to work properly or there may be some damage inside the transfer box (got strange sound - the faster drive the faster it knocks) - will need to open the whole box and check inside yet wouldn't want if not necessary...
@@alexhering8428 all your tires relatively new, same size, make and model? That’s what kills a transfer case.
@@TheEddysGarage all tyres Pirelli Scorpio changed about a year ago yet I wonder what to do to stop the error returning - even when cleared shows again almost immediately. There must be some constatnt issue. Swapping the module helped for the changing gear issue yet there must be also some another problem...
Should it work for an AWD 3.6?
We had the same message throw up on our 2014 Grand Cherokee limited and is it always that module even if it doesn’t clunk on idle?
Best to check for codes
great video on the Jeep
I have awd service light on this will work too ?
Depends on what codes are causing the light. What did the scanner say?
Do you have to disconnect battery when doing this
You should always disconnect the battery when doing anything on the car, especially electrical
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

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