Can anyone now do this repair and post "real" photos to make the job even easier?

I'd be game to tackle this (been getting an intermittent wrench light on my new-to-me 08), but what do I do when I get to step 16?

16. Reprogram the Traction Battery Control Module (TBCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release B52.5 and higher with Patch 7.

I would think that the code would be the same for FWD as AWD... or do you know differently?

Cool. Thanks Billy. And Carl.

Re: DIY Repair of traction blend door actuator
 

I hope everyone realizes this information is from Carl (Desert Dog) and not from me. For the 4wd version TXD 076xxxx is used instead of 045xxx.

Try it and report back on the findings.

Re: DIY Repair of traction blend door actuator
 

So that is the first number, which is already 076? Not the 2nd number, which has 045 already? I read the post as being for an AWD, which is what I have.

Re: DIY Repair of traction blend door actuator
 

Go to scanguage.com and read up on this piece of hardware that you have to program (input) "numbers" to display information.

Mijohnst, they're suggesting you program an "x-gauge" on a SG2 to read the blend door status.
