DESCRIPTION
The NV233 is an electronically controlled part-time transfer case with a low range gear reduction system. The NV233 has three operating ranges plus a NEUTRAL position. The low range system provides a gear reduction ratio for increased low speed torque capability.
The geartrain is mounted in two aluminum case halves attached with bolts. The mainshaft front and rear bearings are mounted in aluminum retainer housings bolted to the case halves.
OPERATING RANGES
Transfer case operating ranges are:
2WD (2-wheel drive)
4HI (4-wheel drive)
4LO (4-wheel drive low range)
NEUTRAL
The 2WD range is for use on any road surface at any time.
The 4HI and 4LO ranges are for off road use only. They are not for use on hard surface roads. The only exception being when the road surface is wet or slippery or covered by ice and snow.
The low range reduction gear system is operative in 4LO range only. This range is for extra pulling power in off road situations. Low range reduction ratio is 2.72:1.
SHIFT MECHANISM
Operating ranges are selected with a dash mounted shift selector switch. The shift selector switch provides a input to the Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) to indicate the driver's desire to change operating ranges. The TCCM uses this input, along with input from the transfer case mounted mode sensor and information from the vehicle's bus, to determine if a shift is permitted. If the TCCM decides the shift is permitted, the TCCM controls the shift motor, mounted to the exterior of the transfer case, to perform the shift.
IDENTIFICATION
A circular ID tag is attached to the rear case of each transfer case (Fill/Drain Plug And I.D. Tag Locations - Typical). The ID tag provides the transfer case model number, assembly number, serial number, and low range ratio.
The transfer case serial number also represents the date of build.
I am guessing you have the nv233transfer case. If you did try to push the button and the transfer case didn't switch to neutral,then the tccm maybe the problem.
