P2772

Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Low Switch Circuit Range/Performance

The 4WD-Low switch state is implausible against transfer case position feedback. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
