some of those people don't know much about this . the encoder is damaged from old fluid . the encoder is a motor and when the motor cannot move easy it gets burned out. it will also blow a fuse 20AMP on some called the ATC . other modules its called something else.
replacing all drive train fluids means front and rear diff / transfercase and the transmission pan drop clean replace filter if dirty.
the rear diff you remove cover after the drain and clean out the gear box of the metal debris dust sludge..
those that know how to do this encoder , it can be done for 200.00 ..dealership will charge 800.00 or so for the encoder replacing, but you could have more than that , because if the internals are broken you will get this code as well.. black colored fluid usually means a re-build..
