Chevy GMC Code C0378 Service 4X4 Message

In this video I deal with a Chevy Avalanche that arrived with the customer complaint of intermittent no 4X4 operation and a service 4X4 message on the drivers information display. After pulling a code C0378 I look deeper into the 4X4 control system in attempts to locate the cause. I'll show the process for testing and replacing the front differential actuator as well as servicing the transfer case and front differential fluids. Watch this video for more diagnostic information and the fix!
This information is helpful for most late model Chevy, GMC and other GM trucks and SUV's with similar symptoms/codes.

Yes easy but problematic. Seems simple enough but for some reason they crap out all the time. This was almost a year ago in Feb. and this one seems to be fixed! I guess I need to get some new material for videos.

I been having a issue with mines where the stability track light and check engine comes on and traction control and my tired be feeling funny and when I park and put it in parking and play with the 4by4 nob it does a clunking sound and then drives normal. Do you think it can be the actuater or a ground?

I have a 2018 4wd Sierra and it says “service 4wd” when I put it to 4wd. It engages it but it takes about 60 seconds to engage. The service 4wd message pops up when it engages and disengages. I’ve always kept it on 2wd. Any places I should look for what’s causing this?

I have a question.... What should I do if my Service 4wd message light is on all the time on my 07 yukon? I serviced the fluid for front differential, rear differential and transfer case alreade. I also checked, and my 4wd ingages everytime I change it to 2wd, 4wd and the other option on Neutral works aswell. However when I drained the oil to the Transfercase, only like 5 drops came out, so it was empty. any info is greately appriciated.

I have the same problem with my 08 SLV 4x4. When I got the message, it was in 4x4 H. It will not come out of 4x4. Would the actuator cause the same problem? Very hot here in N.W. Kansas. Also, what were you using to clean up?

Thank you, my 2003 keeps throwing the service 4wd message and I’ve been trying to figure out why. Most of the time it does go into 4wd but occasionally it doesn’t when 4wd is first selected.
@maudsquad
@maudsquad 3 года назад
I had this happen on my 2000 Suburban all the time. In my case, it was a bad switch. It's a common problem with that generation of Suburban/Tahoe/Sierra. There's usually no problem with the actual 4WD, just the switch itself. The switch can be found online for $25 and it takes about 3 minutes to install. It's an inexpensive gamble.

looks like an axle seal is leaking also. Is this one similar to an 06 Trailblazer? Looking at getting one where the front diff is not engaging.
@ThecardoctorTV
@ThecardoctorTV 6 лет назад
Oh boy, those trailblazers are one strange system. So many front diff problems. Is it the model where the diff passes through the oil pan?
@scotta8494
@scotta8494 6 лет назад
I am not 100% sure. It has the 4.2L in it. I have seen some posts where it could be a broken fork on the passenger side extension where the actuator locks. My daughters 94 K1500 had an axle seal replaced and a thrust washer slipped down and was not allowing the diff to engage. Hoping it is something similar or as easy as an actuator...

I have a 2007 Tahoe and I’m having an issue with getting “SERVICE STABILITRAK”, “SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE”, all of the indicator lights come on and there’s no underscore under the mode I’m in (PRND321). When this happens while driving, the speedometer, gas gauge, battery voltage gauge all fo to zero. Once I turn the truck off, if I were to try and start it back up later in the day, it will not crank and it will not start. I can take from one day to several days before it will start again almost as if what caused it has subsided for the moment. I can really use help in trying to get a good diagnosis as I’ve been actually dealing with this issue for years! I would sincerely appreciate any feedback! Thank you!

Permanently locking up the axle probably won't make much difference as far as gas mileage goes. I've converted 2 4x4 vehicles from auto hubs to manual hubs. It didn't even make a difference.

Nice video Tim. We got 10 1/2" of snow this weekend near Atlanta, GA and the asylums let all the inmates out to drive but not before the citizens of GA bought up all the bread & milk in the state. The Governor called a state of emergency for Georgia and asked for emergency shipments of bread & milk. When I was in NY we prepared by getting gas for the emergency generator, propane for the heater & Coleman camping stove, wood for the fireplace, water, food, etc but here in GA nope just grocery carts full of milk & bread and the stores are cleaned out when the panic calls come someone has spotted a snowflake and not the Democratic kind :D

one thing I didn’t mention: this happens when driving in the rain, going through the car wash or in any situation where the underneath of the truck is getting wet. This recently happened this afternoon and as of this message it will not crank and it will not start. Again, I’d really appreciate any feedback!
