if the speed sensor on transfer case is acts up it will trip the check engine light. if the sensor has been changed, it may not have been orientated properly. take it out and check the number on the gear. thats how many teeth are on the gear. the outside of the sensor has a range of numbers at four different points around it. reinstall it with the range your gear number falls in aligned to the dot on the case. mine didn't work when I replaced it and several mechanics didn't seem to be aware of this. sounds like bad sensor or alignment.
