I don't think the computer has any control over the transfer case. You do need to be stopped with the tranny in neutral before engaging low range though.

Interesting... I bet it's looking for neutral selection in tranny. You may have to tie this line to ground or 12v.. hard to know without seeing a schematic.

I have this setup in my Bronco and it is pretty sensitive to the MLPS switch adjustment. It is checking to make sure you are in neutral. If your MLPS is slopped out like mine is, you may have to choose between having reverse lights and having your 4-low work. I have to move my shift lever a bit to get my 4-low to engage, have you tried this?
