A Service 4WD light, a 4WD system that will not engage or a weak-sounding shift attempt can mean this motor is worn, though a transfer case control module calibration issue or the front axle lock actuator can be behind the same signs. A scan for stored codes and a look at the calibration version help rule those out before you replace the motor.
