A transfer case in a Chevrolet Bravada is a critical component of the vehicle's drivetrain, responsible for distributing power from the transmission to all four wheels. It enables the vehicle to switch between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes, improving traction and control in various driving conditions. The transfer case also contains features like low-range gearing for off-road capabilities. Proper maintenance of the transfer case is essential for the overall performance and longevity of the vehicle.
It is under the car behind the tranny
A transfer case from a 1999 Bravada may not be directly compatible with a 1997 Bravada due to differences in design and electronic components. While both vehicles share similarities, it's important to verify the specific part numbers and compatibility. It's recommended to consult a professional or refer to a parts database to ensure a proper fit before attempting the swap.
Encoder motor (transfer case motor) needs to be replaced it is on the transfer case. the gears strip out inside it, or the shaft breaks. you can get them on e-bay. really easy to change.
After lots of reading to find out what my Transfer-case problems were for my 02 Bravada. I read lots of posts on Bravada Transfer-cases problems which could be solved or prevented by using the correct BLUE fluid (TrackII ?) So to save having any problems with my new Transfer-case I bought the Blue Fluid from the dealer and filled it up. I am not sure if you can get it from anywhere else but to save having to buy a new Transfercase ($5,000.00 + Installation) you should go to the dealer and check if you need that Blue fluid as well. Oh and there is nothing wrong with buying your Transfer-case and Encoder Motor from a Junkyard or EBay. After installing a used transfer-case and new Encoder Motor with my Brother(we are not mechanics) it cost under $1,000.00CAD.
The TCCM (Transfer Case Control Module) fuse on a 1999 Bravada is located in the engine compartment fuse box. The TCCM is located in the dash on the driver's side to the left of the steering wheel.
The speed sensor on a 2000 Olds Bravada Smartrak is on the top of the automatic transfer case. To change it you need to disconnect the two wires and replace with a new sensor.
i just took my 2002 bravada into the shop and had a friend look at it and he hooked it up to the computer and said that the transfer case encoder motor was bad. its the mechanism that switches it from 2wd to awd. i will be doing it myself. its an easy fix but will set you back around 150$ its a few bolts and a plug. it mounts onto the back of your transfer case. good luck.

Fill it till it runs out of the fill hole. Again that's the FILL HOLE, not the DRAIN HOLE. They are separate.
not 100% sure about yours but i just took my 2002 bravada into the shop and had a friend look at it and he hooked it up to the computer and said that the transfer case encoder motor was bad. its the mechanism that switches it from 2wd to awd. i will be doing it myself. its an easy fix but will set you back around 150$ its a few bolts and a plug. it mounts onto the back of your transfer case. good luck.
The four-wheel actuator on a 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada is typically located on the transfer case. It is attached to the transfer case housing and is responsible for engaging and disengaging the four-wheel drive system. To access it, you may need to lift the vehicle and remove any protective covers or panels underneath. Always refer to the vehicle's service manual for specific instructions and safety precautions.
Located in the transfer case. You need to remove front driveline, then remove three bolts holding motor. Pretty simple job.
