As stated in earlier threads I would start with the grounding wires under drivers door, outside frame looking forward. Clean to bare metal both connectors and frame, then check and clean T/C , forward axle and dash switches connector. Will try to find what the code is and reply later.

DTC C0309 refers to T/C motor A/B Circuit High. What is happening is the ATC Control module senses a high voltage on circuits 1552 or 1553 when a low votage is expected. To check disconnect T/C harness C2 pwr off which is the 6 pin plug and check pin A (lower right corner looking at plug)to ground using a digital meter with pwr on, should be 0 voltage. That code is either a short in the cable to the T/C motor or the motor is bad. For parts I use Rockauto as they seem to be the cheapest and great service. If your still having problems do a private message and I'll e-mail you the GM service manual steps.

I have a print out of the test for the code C0309 and it says to unplug the 4 pin connector at TC and check leads A and B for short to voltage, 0 to .2 volts ok . If ok, replace transfer case shift control module. I have pulled the instrument cluster and light switch but have not found the TCCM . I have a used one to put in it if I can find it.
ToooTall1 I have not checked the wires in the 6 pin connector like you suggested but will check it next.
Thanks for your help . If this does not fix it I will PM you for more info.

Thanks Again

To reset code on TCM turn ignition switch on-off 100 times and it resets the TC module. Try this first to see if you can reset system and then continue if problems come back.
