  • 305: Jeep Module Configuration Error Diagnosis
    Jun 14 2025

    This week on the show I walk you through diagnosing a C2206 setting in the 4x4 module of a Jeep Liberty. The transfer case is stuck in 4 wheel drive and the shop has replaced several components in attempts to fix without results. This code pertains to a configuration error with one of the modules on the network, but a restore configuration, VIN check, & part number check all come up with no issues. How do we solve this?
