Why does my Yukon XL have a 4WD light?

I was recently getting a service 4wd light in my 03 yukon xl. the lights for the switch also went out. I crawled under the truck and started looking at connections to the transfercase.

Can a 4HI transmission be shifted into a 2 speed case?

What makes a 4WD shift detent plunger inoperative?

Some owners may comment that the 4WD is inoperative. This condition may be caused by an inoperative transfer case motor (actuator).

This coating on the exterior surface of the poppet should reduce shift effort and wear.
