Fitting NEW Transfer case module
Does anyone know if a new transfer case module is plug and play or does it need programmed? I know it needs matched to vin but im not really bothered if it logs a code for wrong vin as long as it works.
Yes it will just work, but as you have said it will throw up a vin issue..it might also throw a HDC and DSC as well. I had one that had to have a new one fitted.

Cheers Flack. Did it show the faults on the dash or only log them. Just trying to see if im best buying a new one with the latest part # or going for a used superseeded one?

A new one needs the calibration routines at the very least. Can't say for sure if it NEEDS programmed, as I always flash the latest firmware when fitting, regardless...
A 2nd hand one will fit and work, as Flack says, but may need the calibrations run again My D3 Build Thread
