does this affect the buttons and will it cause a readout on the dash that says service 4 wheel drive

It will affect the way the buttons respond , the lights on my buttons would flash but would never switch to a different gear. And yes when it would fail I would get Service 4wd message on the dash. When my encoder was bad I could hear the motor on the transfer case engaging the 4wd so I figured that was all working it just wasn't sending the signal to the computer that it had engaged the gears on the transfer case.

Yes, it will throw a trouble code. Mine was also not staying engaged in 2 high. I installed the synchronizer and all problems cured.

Yes it will cause the service 4 wheel drive light to come on and it will switch the truck into 4x4 randomly
