Defect
On four-wheel-drive vehicles, the power supply circuit added to the transfer case electronic control unit when an aftermarket speed limiter is installed is incorrectly configured. When the speed limiter activates, excess current flows through the transfer case electronic control unit, damaging its internal circuit. This may cause the transfer case, the speed limiter, and the speedometer to become inoperative.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, modify the power supply circuit to the speed limiter.
