It's a ground signal from the shifter switch. I want to say it's a tan wire. If you don't have it in the plug,bits been removed for some reason. Easy to trace from the shifter assembly.

Yup, the white wire from transfer case provides a ground signal when in 4x4, so long as the black wire from the transfer case is grounded.
You can test with a multi meter to be sure.
In mine I abandoned the pink wire, it was a constant hot jumper from the fuse panel to the indicator lamp in the factory dash. It just plugged into an open space on the fuse block.
