Trifecta lights

Getting the trifecta lights 4x4, ABS, Brake. Pulled my codes, but they don't make much sense:

Variant: GS19A
20346 Botschaft vom Verteilergetriebe fehlerhaft

message from the distributor gear faulty?

I can't read German, but its a good chance your Transfer Case Gear actuator motor might be toast.

This happened after an ECU update through winkfp. Unless it was bad to begin with..

Could also be a bad wheel sensor. Best to get the X scan and find out what is the real problem instead of throwing parts at it, not unless you like throwing parts at it.

Problem was due to transfer case module loosing its encoding during the DME upgrade?!!!

Which makes no sense. Now it looks like I just have a stripped gear in actuator.

2nd one this week. You can get a replacement gear from ECS Tuning, giodogg2000 just posted a thread about this 2 days ago, I think its $125.

I am going to try the 180 degree rotation thing first. Make sure 100% it is the gear.
