P2774: Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Low Switch Circuit High

Standardized SAE J2012 code · P27xx — Transmission

What does P2774 mean?

Voltage on the 4WD-Low switch line is above the expected window. Usually an open switch or a short to battery.

The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.

Common causes

  • High Open switch contacts
  • Medium Switch wire shorted to B+
  • Low Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance

Likelihood is a general estimate across vehicles; your make and model may differ.
