The truck listed above is a 2011 Sierra. Tech diagnosed as encoder motor faulty. Replaced encoder motor still has the same c0398 code. Truck won’t perform relearn off the 4wd switch or solus scanner. Have power at the encoder motor and 4wd switch sends signals within spec. Had spare transfer case module on hand, installed with the same results. Transfer case range sensor reading -145° to205° when checked. Live data at scanner shows tcem @360° while rps @205°. Every time there’s a key cycle truck changes from 4hi to 4l to N.

C0398 code - The transfer case range actuator position sensor is also known as the incremental position sensor.

I have seen the control switch go bad causing this issue as well. Have you replaced the transfer case range sensor? I have seen these cause this problem. Here are the instructions on how to replace the sensor. I would do the sensor first and then the control switch. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
