Code 2A32 (P1014) refers to an eccentric sensor issue Code 2A37 (P1017) also refers to an eccentric sensor issue Code 2A45 (P103A) refers to an actuator motor malfunction The transfer case is a rather unique design in the way that it operates a clutch pack mechanically, not hydraulically, somewhat like a GM.

The days are gone when transmissions were purely mechanical and hydraulic and all you really needed was a set of high-pressure gauges to check line pressure and a vacuum gauge to check the engine’s intake vacuum and the integrity of the vacuum modulator. The topology for these networks is typically a loop.
