In Drive position the wheels are locked and in neutral the wheels remain locked and will not spin or free wheel. In drive with the battery in the unit just clicks but does not move, everything works such as lights beeping alarm ect. The electirc motor clicks but it does not engage and the scooter will not move.

IT NEED REPAIR , GEAR SHIFTING IS BAD.
FIND A SHOP AND GET IT FIXED/
MOVED THIS FROM CARS TO WHEEL CHAIR ELECT.

Does placing it in neutral put the entire drive in neutral???? Yes . Taking the vehicle to a qualified repair shop that has a factory or professional scan tool to read code's in the transfer case control module is what you should do , you probably have no clue of the complexity of these 4X4 systems . How many buttons on the switch on the instrument panel ?
The BW 4493/4494 transfer case features a 4-button shift control switch (1) located on the instrument panel. When the vehicle has the ignition key in the RUN position, the transfer case shift control module starts monitoring the transfer case shift control switch to determine if the driver desires a new mode/gear position. At a single press of the transfer case shift control switch, the lamp of the new desired position begins flashing to inform the driver that the transfer case shift control module has received the request for a new mode/gear position. The lamp continues to flash until all shifting criteria have been met and the new mode/gear position has been reached, or has been engaged. Once the new mode/gear position is fully active, the switch indicator lamp for the new position remains ON constantly.

During normal driving situations, the transfer case operates in the 4HI mode. When the 4HI mode is selected, the transfer case shift control module sends 12-volts to an electrical motor, which is the transfer case encoder motor. This motor rotates the transfer case shift detent lever shaft which moves the shift forks and range sleeve to obtain different modes/ranges.
The BW 4493/4494 transfer case has the added feature of also providing the driver with 3 manual mode/range positions:
• 4HI - 4-Wheel Drive High Open
• 4HI Lock - 4-Wheel Drive High Locked
• 4LO Lock - 4-Wheel Drive Low Locked
The driver may choose to select any of these mode/range positions while driving the vehicle. However, the transfer case will not allow a shift into or out of 4LO Lock unless the following criteria has been met:

DTC B0790 Transfer Case Neutral Indicator Circuit Malfunction
DTC B2725 ATC Mode Switch Circuit Malfunction
The mode switch circuit consists of 5 modes. The transfer case shift control module supplies a regulated 5 volts, DC to the switch through the 5-volt regulator circuit. The current travels through the resistor of the currently pressed mode button. The current is then returned to the transfer case shift control module through the switch signal circuit.
The transfer case shift control module constantly monitors this signal voltage to determine the condition of the mode switch circuit.
When each of the modes are selected they will complete a circuit through their own specific resistor while the button is pressed. The transfer case shift control module continuously monitors the switch input to determine whether the Neutral, Differential Lock, 4HI, 4HI Lock, or 4LO Lock mode was selected by the driver.

DTC C0306 Motor A or B Circuit Malfunction
The transfer case motor is a bi-directional, permanent magnet, D.C. motor. When energized, through motor control A or motor control B, the ground is provided by the opposing motor control circuit and then grounded through the transfer case shift control module ground circuit, the motor, through a series of gears, rotates a shaft which moves the mode and range forks to shift the transfer case between the following ranges:
• 4HI
• 4HI Lock
• 4LO Lock
• Neutral
This DTC detects an open, short to voltage, or short to ground in the motor control A or motor control B circuits, or an open, or short to ground inside the motor.

DTC C0327 Encoder Circuit Malfunction
DTC C0329
DTC C0359
DTC C0550

The Borg Warner (BW) model 4493/4494 NR4 transfer case is a 2-speed, full-time 4WD, transfer case. The transfer case has an external planetary type differential, which has 2 different sets of pinion gears. The planetary differential provides a 40/60 torque split front/rear full-time. This means the front and rear propeller shafts are constantly being driven for maximum traction in all conditions. A high/low planetary carrier assembly provides the high and low ranges, which is a 6-pinion gear, sun gear, and annulus gear arrangement, giving a 2.64 low range reduction ratio in the BW 4493 and a 4:1 ratio in the BW 4494.

Sportage is a front wheel drive vehicle. Wheels will not spin unless it is in neutral.

Bad transfer case

front driveshaft joints worn, front ring/pinion gears or bearings worn, front locking mechinism faulty or binding. If you put the car in 4x4 and the car fails to move, as in neutral type feeling, then all your torque is going to the front, something is not locked in and its just spinning. Transfer case faulty....

Replace the hard drive. You have a bad hard drive.The battery problem could be because it is failing.

maby im wrong but if you rev up and only rear wheels spin that means that it might be 4 wheel drive but not constant 4 wheel drive or diff lock system ,,,, ,, in 4 wheel drive all wheells will turn together but if pressure of slip is bad enough or torque high enough only 2 wheels will drive ,,, thats why diff lock locks wheels together in each axle to over come this ,,, all wheel drive like in landrover locks all 4 wheels together to ensure all wheels rotate to give best grip

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM

(a) Four-wheel drive control

Use the four-wheel drive control lever and center

differential lock button to select the following transfer and

center differential modes.

The "H" and "L" position of the four-wheel drive control lever

provides either lock or unlock mode of the center differential

depending on the center differential lock button position.

Use the center differential lock system if your wheels get stuck

in a ditch, or when you are driving on a slippery or bumpy

surface. When the center differential is locked, the vehicle

stability control system is automatically turned off and the

center differential lock and "VSC OFF" indicator lights come on

because the function that controls engine performance

As soon as the center differential lock switch is turned

on, the "VSC OFF" indicator light comes on. After the

wheels are out of the ditch or off the slippery or bumpy

surface, turn the center differential lock switch off.

Make sure the center differential lock indicator light and

vehicle stability control system off indicator light turn

off.

"H" (high speed position, center differential unlocked):

Lever at "H", center differential lock button left out

Use this for normal driving on all types of roads, from dry

hard-surfaced roads to wet, icy or snow-covered roads. This

position gives greater economy, quietest ride, least wear and

better vehicle control.

"H" (high speed position, center differential locked): Lever

at "H", center differential lock button pushed in

Use this for greater traction when you experience a loss of

power, such as wheel slipping, in the center differential unlock

mode.

"N" (neutral position): Lever at "N"

No power is delivered to the wheels. The vehicle must be

stopped.

"L" (low speed position, center differential unlocked):

Lever at "L", center differential lock button left out

Use this for maximum power and traction. Use this for climbing

or descending steep hills, off-road driving, and hard pulling in

sand or mud.

In this mode, the braking feeling that occurs when the wheels

are negotiating a sharp corner is further reduced than in the "L"

(low position, center differential locked) mode.

"L" (low speed position, center differential locked): Lever

at "L", center differential lock button pushed in

Use this for maximum power and traction. Use this for hard

pulling in situations the vehicle cannot negotiate even in the "L"

(low speed position, center differential unlocked) mode. Also,

using this mode when driving down steep off-road inclines will

help contribute to increased vehicle stability.

Hope this helps.

If the car is in neutral then yes it should. If the vehicle is in park than no it should not be spinning freely. If it is in neutral and it does not spin freely than you may have a locked brake caliper.

i'm assuming you have a 4 wheel drive. If that is the case then yes cause when your in two wheel drive mode the front is in neutral
